I enjoyed checking out Dawn Landes last night at the sold out Black Cat back door stage.  I wanted to take some video, but it was so crowded I had an obstructed view for most of the set.  The Submarines were solid, well situated in the exploding genre of married/dating rockers playing happy-go-lucky pop songs (i.e. The Weepies, Kaiser Cartel, Mates of State, Matt & Kim).

Jason Anderson was fantastic.  After the show I spoke with him and he immediately asked if there were songs that I was disappointed that I didn’t hear.  He quickly grabbed his acoustic and proceeded to give me and @Kate_One a six song private encore.

And if that wasn’t already super generous he also gave me a free vinyl copy of “The Hopeful and the Unafraid” and several “Jason Anderson is Awesome” buttons.  I was also glad that my friends Keith and Joanne drove in from Princeton to check out the show.  A truly awesome night.

I recorded a few videos during the show with my Flip Mino HD and they turned out OK.  The sound is much better than I would have expected but the video is pretty grainy in the low light setting.

“So Long”

“For Kyle”

Overview
I have created a set of samples that have been recorded directly from an Atari POKEY chip. I have created all of the sounds myself on the hardware (as in, these are not sounds or samples recorded from games or demo programs). The output from the sound chip has been recorded directly.

Samples
There are a total of 316 samples, covering a variety of frequencies and noise characteristics. Pure tones are not included.
