THE ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY: Some audio on the PBS “Media Matters” documentary wasn’t so hot and they wanted to rerecord it. After being stranded in Newark last time, I wasn’t hot on flying to NYC. So I rerecorded the stuff in my own home studio, emailed MP3s to the producer so he could pick the version he liked, and now I’m sending it on CD (in both .wav and .aif formats) via FedEx. Of course, you do lose something in the translation, as this report from him indicates:

We recorded Megan, Oliver & Anil in New York this afternoon. Afterwards Megan and Oliver debated non-stop — they had to be evicted from the studio, and then continued their cross-fire over lunch. Sorry you missed it.

I’m sorry too — but this was a whole lot easier.
