Episode 3: SidPlay2W, Rock The Rink, and More!

Filed under: Podcast — Kelly Sapergia @ 10:29 AM

On this edition, we take a look at SidPlay2W, a program that lets you play C64 SID music files in Windows. A good place to find these files is to download the HVSC (High Voltage SID Collection).
This podcast also features a new “Game Reviews” section, where I’ll occasionally be demonstrating games for systems like the Playstation 1, the original NES, and the PC. For this edition, we’ve got two reviews for you: NHL Rock the Rink by Electronic Arts for the original Playstation, and a stereo version of my review of Shades of Doom from GMA Games, which originally aired on the June 6, 2001 edition of ACB Radio Mainstream’s “Main Menu” show.

Cool YouTube Discoveries: Les Paul, and The Roland Channel

Filed under: Interesting Links — Kelly Sapergia @ 8:05 PM

On August 12 of this year, the original guitar hero, Les Paul, passed away at the age of 94. While browsing YouTube, I discovered the following video from 1953.

It’s a portion of a TV program called Omnibus, hosted by Alastair Cooke, and features Les Paul and Mary Ford joking about, and eventually demonstrating, how they recorded their music in the multitrack fashion that Les Paul pioneered.
This is one video you definitely don’t want to miss!

I’ve also recently discovered the Roland Channel, a great place to watch demos and other videos related to products by Roland. One series of videos I especially like is the 3-part demo of the Roland VP-770 Vocal Ensemble keyboard. It’s a pity I can’t afford it, but the demo is amazing in itself.
I also discovered a 15-part demo about a digital harpsichord which not only demonstrated the instrument, but had a video dedicated to the history of harpsichords in general, which was very interesting to listen to.
That’s the only criticism I have regarding this channel: the videos are in multiple parts. Why can’t the whole demo be made available as a single video?
