Here you go, then.
A repeat / replay / rewind from way back yonder from August 7th 2007. Back when we was innocent & technologically retarded, heavily relying on the Good Lord Skype for communication between Cardiff & Edinburgh. Praying, as we were, it didn’t crash or owt else stressful during the live broadcasts. Of course, mostly, it did.
On this one you can hear our fear & naïvité via myriad technical blips & blops as Ms Eternal wrestles with remembering to mute her mic (hence the heavy breathing), mute her computer audio (hence the beeps & burps from the software she was slowly crashing in the background), & engage the crossfade (hence the long run out of tracks & silences between talking & music starting). Knew what she was doing, my arse.
Anyway this one, though, as in however, wasn’t live (despite the additional screw-up SFX) but was a pre-record. This was simply because almost immediately after Ms Eternal & ½DC started filling the airwaves (together) with their accents they decided to both go, at the same time, on holiday (albeit not together, because that would be unduly sexual in nature), or vacation (depending on what side of the beach you are).
It’s an interesting show. A funny show with good music. A show full to the crown with sexual tension & verbal fumblings (listen, why don’t you, to ½DC umm & err his way through the putting up with Ms Eternal’s fiddling on the controls & giddying non sequiturs).
Incidentally, it’s one of the first shows that mentions/contains Mr. Fisk (who was at that time slipping Ms Eternal one - as goes the vernacular), who just so happened to be on a sneaky visit to Edinburgh to see HE & cause untold stress damage as he got in the way of her moving to/decorating her new apartment.
Why the ErrorFM controller chose this one to repeat / reply / rewind is beyond our point of giving a shit.
Enjoy, folks, enjoy.
½DC + HE (in absentia)

Very good show indeed, I was a little confused because I didnt read the show notes carefully, I thought that Hope was back with a new husband ( No 3?), regardless , also a little confused with regards to the Wedding show, I think that Mat got married . No I may be way off the mark but isnt Mat Mr Toad? If not apologies to Mr Toad, perhaps I should stop drinking for awhile.
Music is just the surface of the show, the people whose voices come and go are a deep and wonderful subcurrent, Trying to understand the depths of the Waiting Room is like trying to put Joe Heller’s “Catch22″ in chronological order. hh
Hi H.
Cheers for all the recent comments. Will get round to answering each as I can. Tune in right to the end of The WAITSing Room II tonight as there’s a little surprise for you…
To your confusions: Hope was back but only in so far as it was a repeat episode from our dim & dimmer past.
The ‘husband’ referred to was the one uniquely only Mr. Fisk, for he used to be her beau for a short while. Think of it as the ½DC Dating Agency. Not a successful encounter longterm, but we got a ton of material out of it
)
The Wedding Room show was a DJ set from the civil partnership (i.e. gay wedding) of two friends of ours (NOT Mr. Toad). One happened to be called Matt. A pure coincidence, as Mr. Toad is neither loving a man nor a policeman (which the other Matt most certainly is).
I suppose we do talk about a lot of different people, as well as have a ton of different people host the show. If confusion arises then we have done our job. Chaos, for heck’s sake, is our by-word.
Take care & thanks for tuning in (still).

DC: Listening to the Waits special, Thx Thax for clearing that Up, just want to let you know that you made me laugh very, very hard past the point of tears to the threshold of sphincter control loss.
I hope i didnt offend either Mat. you have a way with words
By the way I enjoyed the Welsh broadcast a couple shows back, have you ever seen the indie film “Brassed- Off”, it had to be filmed in Wales. If you havent seen it , I reccomend it highly.

This Waits show is just too good. hh
Hi H,
I’m not so sure Brassed Off was filmed in Wales - it certainly wasn’t located in Wales.
Glad you’re enjoying the output.
Next week’ll be a corker with all the bands I saw & heard while away in the USof…
:o)
double whammy indeed, DC.
As well, Banana Phone… ’nuff said.
Miss you madly. Sure you know that.
