Rough Mix Podcast 1 (walkin’ and talkin’) download and track listings
- 9 Comments
- Monday 31st January 2011
For the past year, I’ve been throwing selected audio files into a folder marked “walkin’ and talkin’,” with the idea of doing them up as a podcast for WFMU’s online stream.
I finally got it together, and it streamed a few weeks ago. It’s 3 hours of people talking over beats; not rap exactly, but around the neighborhood, with closely related Beat material, poetry, and whatever I wanted, because I could. I’ve broken it up into individual tracks for e-z listening on iTunes, your iPod, your phone, or your digital toothbrush, and so you can skip over my VO if you want, you ingrate. And it’s most definitely not safe for work or children.
You can download it (160 meg) in a zip file, and the multi-media track listing is below.
Please let me know what you think in the comments section, and if you like it – or even if you don’t – please consider contributing some cash to WFMU, one of the only truly all-listener sponsored radio stations anywhere, and absolutely the best freeform station in the world. Because of their high standards and high quality, they’re perpetually broke, so your cheddar is always appropriate.

walkin’ and talkin’ (rough mix podcast vol. 1)
01
intro
in which stein attempts to talk his way out of the whole thing
.
saul williams & momolu stewart
jail cell rap
from the movie slam
apologies for this version with the freaking subtitles; i couldn’t find a good version that didn’t have them. several great scenes in this film with williams, and a few with bonz malone, although overall the story’s a tad on the earnest side for cynical old me.
.
03
the revolution will not be televised
from small talk at 125th st. & lenox
the original version, before the larger radio hit version with brian jackson/midnight band.
.
04
black is
from the album this is madness.
sloppy, but informative
.
05
mic break
mumbling about some damn thing
.
06
jack kerouac/al cohn/zoot sims
kerouac reads and talks on the steve allen show.
.
07
no footage of the man himself on youtube, unfortunately, but this will do fine.
.
jean shepherd w/charles mingus jazz workshop
the clown
a dramatization of one of the great storyteller’s famous anecdotes.

.

burroughs down with cut-ups.

.
brooklyn funk essentials feat. david allen
the revolution was postponed because of rain
this song is so great.
.
15
personally, I like weizmann’s first record (the wet dog shakes) better – the title cut especially – but this one’s nice over a pleasantly groovy track by paul goldowitz. (i think this is the right goldowitz, but I’m not 100% sure.)
i couldn’t resist.
brooklyn funk essentials feat. everton sylvester
i got cash
from make them like it
everton sylvester doing his own thing.
i got cash has been recorded in at least 2 different versions, I believe, and someone also floated an accappella over the instrumental of the 1980′s electro track jet set by dr. john (track produced, if I’m not mistaken by arthur baker), and that’s up on youtube; however, the version in the podcast is the one to have. trust me.
.
17
mic break

18
video for o superman, the a-side of the single. walk the dog is the b-side.

finely-aged producer and vocalist discuss the track and video.

Hey Steve – every track on this was tagged as being the H3ndr1x rework, with no track numbers or anything, which won’t work well on most people’s digital toothbrushes. I’ve been through and added track numbers, made Steinski the artist, named it “rough mix podcast (walkin’ & talkin’,” and put the filename for each track in as the track name. It’s zipped up in a rar and stuck here if anyone wants it (or you want to replace the other one): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6laqwi3on9f090m

perfect, always interested in suprising material, done in Steinski-style. like KRS-One would say: this is true edutainment.

Kit – thanks for noticing this. I actually found it out myself (ahem, several weeks ago), and did another full set of files with corrected (in my fashion) mp3 tags. I, uh, forgot to put it up when I did the post, and used the old, incorrectly tagged files.
The link in the post now leads to correct i.e; non-Hendrix-tagged mp3 files (in fact, I don’t think they have any mp3 metadata at all), but if anyone would care to take advantage of Kit’s generous offer, I’m sure his tags will work equally well (or better) in your digital music player/shaver/running shoes. And thanks, Kit, for looking out with such consideration. St.
