Drunk Covers
Apr 28th, 2007 by drunkcountrygent
Long before The Waiting Room radio show became the fully formed sinking ship we know today, the ninny-mouthed host one half of Drunk Country home-recorded a handful of test fraudcasts.
These recordings formed part of ½DC's self-indoctrination into radio broadcasting & were to serve, so he thought, as practice in order to shape & hone his hosting chops, technical prowess & general radio wherewhithal.
However, on this evidence & the evidence of current shows, he still has a very long way to go before he reaches the outskirts of Professionalville.
In this first test recording you will find ½DC bimbling about randomly selected cover versions under the umbrella of the now extemely popular Drunk Covers series. Call this #1, if you must, although he & Ms Hope Eternal (the founder of, but now departed from, TWR) did broadcast a proper inaugural Drunk Covers a few weeks previous. Unfortunately, technology & its potential as it was back then (+ their understanding thereof), there exists no recording of this joyous event.
Instead, clasp your headholes around this lot & re-visit what was when all were innocent & everso slimmer.
