The Lair of The Dark Knight

This weekend was awesome. On Friday night Lupus Ex Machina was joined by kittiah, miyabisan and tryst_fel_cath . Despite the technical problems that we faced it was a show full of win. :D

Saturday was spent at the London Furmeet, which was great as I got to see loads of folks that I hadn't seen for a long time.

Sunday we all went to the RBW venue; it's freaking amazing. :D

More info regarding RBW (theme, venue, pricing, etc) will be released in April.

It's that time of the week again. Lupus Ex Machina will be broadcasting tonight at the following times:

GMT - 9pm until Midnight
CET - 10pm until 1am
EST - 4pm until 7pm
PST - 1pm until 4pm

We should hopefully have a special guest on the show tonight; r4nger5 should be joining us in the studio for the duration of the show and will be on IRC.

You can listen at BritFur.FM and join the fun on IRC at irc.anthrochat.net, channel #BritFurFM.

After a 2 week hiatus, Lupus Ex Machina will be returning to BritFur.FM, 9pm until Midnight GMT

50 minutes from now Lupus Ex Machina will be broadcasting on BritFur.FM. :D

It's Friday and that means that from 9pm until Midnight jennavixen and I will be doing the internet radio thing again.

I should forewarn that LEM has undergone a change; we've freed the Italian Artisans from their captivity. It was a tearful scene, but we let them go on their way back to their original home of the Italian take-away around the corner.

So what does this mean for Lupus Ex Machina? Well for a start it means "No more cheese". That's right, the cheese has finally gone off and TBH we've run out of Stilton. But where to go now?

We've decided that it's high time that we make good our promises and have changed to a Metal/Punk show, which should hopefully satisfy the Dimmu Borgir poster that glares at me from the wall of Studio Lupus.

So as usual, 9pm til Midnight on BritFurFM. :D

Most of the stuff arrived today.

From Studio Lupus

I've had a little look around and thanks to some advice from miyabisan and tryst_fel_cath I've got a new studio equipment list.

1x Peavey PV6 Compact Mixer
1x Behringer B-CONTROL DEEJAY BCD3000 DJ Mixer
2x Samson C01 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphones
2x Samson SP01 Shockmount for C01
2x Behringer HPX2000 High-Def DJ Headphones

Plus a few other bits like cables and such.

Although I'm not yet sure whether or not to go with desktop microphone stands or anglepoise ones. I've seen an anglepoise one from Beyerdynamic which comes with a built in XLR mic cable, but there seems to be no information as to whether it's balanced or unbalanced, and I'd rather have balanced.

I'm gonna call a few places today and see what the story is. If they're unbalanced then I'll be going for desktop mic stands.

Lupus Ex Machina is slowly returning. Now we just need a show banner. :D

Last night's broadcast was fraught with technical hiccups. Despite that V and I had an awesome time.

My set turned from a mix of EBM to cheese. XD

The playlist is under the cut.

As you can see we went onto 2am, five hours. ;)

I'm really looking forward to next Friday. A big thank you to everyone who listened in. :)

As it's Easter this weekend tomorrow will be my last day of work for a whole four days (Woohoo!). After work tomorrow I'll be going over to V's place to have a nice game of Supremacy: The Game of the Superpowers, which will probably last late into the night. We'll also probably be listening to BritFur.FM for Miyabi and Kittiah's show "The Harddrive".

Friday is Action Stations for "Lupus Ex Machina". I'm debating whether to run the first show on my own or to have V in as a co-host; I'm leaning towards the latter.

On Saturday V and I will be recording the R4nger5 Conspiracy Special: a massive discussion about conspiracy theories, which could last anything up to five hours in length! o.o

On Sunday I plan to do nothing at all. ^-^

On Monday... I don't know just yet.
