Old Adventures in Lo-Fi 3 :: Rock in Rio II (Part 2 of 3)
First of all, my apologies for the delay in getting this week's episode out -- my grandmother was in the hospital the early part of the week, and I did not have access to my files in order to upload them. For the second part of the Rock in Rio II series, we'll begin looking at live performances.

Old Adventures in Lo-Fi 2 :: Rock in Rio II (Part 1 of 3)
For the second episode of Old Adventures in Lo-Fi, I begin to tap into my footage from the 1991 music festival Rock in Rio II, explaining a little bit about the history of this festival.

Old Adventures in Lo-Fi 1 :: Introductions and Namesakes
For the first ever episode of Old Adventures in Lo-Fi, I attempt to define the purpose of my vodcast (i.e. I ramble a lot in my pajamas), and introduce my namesake.
Goodies: MTV News Report of REM's New Adventures in High-Fi with Tabitha Soren.
Notes: From now on, I'll be using various audio clips from REM. For this one, however, I use a brief clip from Death Cab for Cutie's "Crooked Teeth."

Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to the brand new vodcast (i.e. video podcast) -- Old Adventures in Lo-Fi. In order to prevent confusion and to help explain myself, let me give you a brief analysis of what my vision for this podcast is.
Over the years, I have collected well over a hundred VHS tapes with various shows, commercials, MTV specials, and other remnants of Post-Generation-X pop culture. Most of these clips have been recorded in the 1990s, though some may be before or after then. I'm in the process of cataloguing them; if you have Gopher or the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed, you may watch the catalogue-in-progress over here.) I was showing a few of these bizarre gems to Alestar, who suggested I share them online. Since I was looking for a good excuse to start a vodcast anyhow, I decided to make this my theme.
Ideally, you'll find things on this vodcast you can't find anywhere else -- old commercials, live performances, bizarre music videos, and clips from television shows that never quite took off. I will also film a little intro and outro for each clip from the top bunk of my bed, explaining their relevance to the "MTV Generation" (i.e. why I think they're cool.) I'm considering the idea of remaining in my pajamas for each one, and the fuzzy hat is a must. While I failed to do this for the "pilot," I plan to use short background sound clips in the lead-in from REM's album New Adventures in Hi-Fi, for obvious reasons.
Perhaps you know me, perhaps you read my blog, perhaps you stumbled upon this completely by accident. Whatever your reason for coming here, I do hope you'll stay, and enjoy, and tell all your friends. (Or at least the cool ones.)
