Grow up, ladies.

EeyoreWhy do seemingly grown adults insist on wearing children's clothing? More importantly, why do these women have such a bond with Eeyore? Do they love to root for the underdog? Do they think of themselves as having an Eeyore-like personality? I really don't get it.

WBNY Hip-Hop Radio Shows - Updated Links

Saturday, October 4, 2008 at by Pumice T

Every known recording of the "Pumice T and his Famous Hot Nuts" WBNY radio show has been digitally archived.


Some technical details:

The shows were originally recorded on VHS tapes using a Hi-Fi VCR. I would set it to record from 6–9 p.m., using the input rather than a channel. An FM tuner was connected to the input and tuned in to 91.3 fm. This was the easiest way to record a 3-hour radio show without having to span multiple sides of cassette tapes.

Each tape has two shows—Show 4 being an exception, as J-Love and the Brat were at the Hit Squad concert so we filled in and did a 6-hour show. Shows 1–11 were clearly labeled on six VHS tapes, two tapes are dated March 21 & 28 and April 4 & 18, and three tapes are from unknown dates.

At the time, WBNY was broadcast in mono (with a 100-watt transmitter) so naturally the recordings are also mono.

The following shows are available as 96Kbps mono MP3s:

More to come. Stay tuned.
