OMG, it’s episode 100! On Christmas! A gift for everyone!
For episode 100, I bring you a piece called Your Holiday Eyebrow Trim, recorded and assembled by one Mister Paul Potts. He describes it as “not so much a piece of audio art as it is an experience”.
I’ll tell you what it is: it’s a surprisingly compelling binaural recording of a man at the barber shop, and utterly fantastic. You absolutely must listen to this with headphones on, or you won’t get it.
And, as a little bonus, Paul finishes out this piece by singing that classic Coulton Christman Carol (say that 5 times fast), Chiron Beta Prime.
Awesome.

A little Christmas cheer for you.
Wait, what the hell is this Acoustic Tea shit?
Ok, so, for the better part of a year now, Dani and I have been working on launching a little side project, made of audio stories and maybe later books and stuff. It’s called Acoustic Tea, and tonight it’s finally fired. If you head on over to the website, you’ll find the exact same story posted over there, along with all the basics you’d expect in a site. Dani read it, I produced it, and J.E. Ignatius McNeill, aka @dreamrock wrote it. And the music is from Magnatune, and completely awesome.
It’s actually kind of awesome how the story happened. I was searching high and low for a “seasonal” story to read for Acoustic Tea, either public domain or Creative Commons. I wasn’t finding anything, so I lamented as much on Twitter. @DreamRock responded “I can write something for you. Gimme a week or two.” And he totally did and totally blew my mind in the process.
Anyway, as far as you’re concerned, Braindouche! is still going to be exactly what it is, but Acoustic Tea is going to function as my “professional audio portfolio”. Because, I mean, you guys understand that I can’t send potential clients here out of the gate unless they’re real special people, right? The Normals aren’t going to get it. So that’s for them. And I needed another project, right?
Right?
Merry merry.
