ONBC igen, og radio besked

Alright! News once again is good. Oliver North Boy Choir has recently made available a new song, a cover of Baccara's 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie,' which will be on their upcoming EP 'Shell for the Mourning' (out 27. May). It's quite nice and soothing, in the vein of other ONBC songs, but, as the original is rather disco-ish, it's also a bit more upbeat. Overall, very nice. My only complaint is that the drum machine part (I'm assuming it's a drum machine, as I've never heard a human sound anything like this) seems at a couple of times not exactly off -- but just a bit too strong in the mix, just a little bit out of place. I'm hesitant to say anything negative, because this is a very minor thing, and because the rest of the song is just so good.

You can listen (but not download) 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' on myspace, or visit ONBC's links page to listen to the song on a server of your choice. (If you enjoy disco, you can also listen to the Baccara original -- good, more sex-sounding, but not as innocent and sweet -- here.)

And now -- less pleasant news. If you are one of those wise and musically-inclined people who listen to the Ashtrays show, please be warned -- the capabilities of our podcast archiving system have fallen to virtually zero. While there is the slight chance that tomorrow's show will be recorded and available for later download, at this point, such a thing is very unlikely. I'm sorry, but my technological abilities stop at typing -- there's really nothing I can do. So, if you want to hear the show, I recommend you make every effort to listen to it live -- 11am to 12pm, Pacific time. You can catch it at klcradio.net. Tak for lytter.
