Thanks for the link Snafje! That's a real surprise........

Very interesting radio station, by the way! Weekdays you can have breakfast with Alice Cooper and on Sundays you can have dinner with Ian Anderson!

I wonder how he takes the time to do such things.......

Regards,
J.

Hi there:

thanks a lot for the info! I have that Station on Astra 28.2E, so I'll record it if I don't forget it (someone remind me please!).

I'm pretty sure that such things are pre-recorded. If it's an hour and has music, it should be not much more than 10-15 minutes to talk, which one can easily record at avery hotel lobby in the world

cheers,

Laufi

Just looked a bit further, and this is some additional information about his first show.

Under The Influence

Join legendary flautist Ian Anderson every Sunday at 7pm for Under The Influence.

Every week, Ian Anderson talks about his influences - from the music he loves to the people he's met.

Coming up on his first show, the Jethro Tull star takes us through some of his biggest influences - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, and Frank Zappa. Alongside these rock revolutionaries, there are tracks from some of the great blues men, Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson, who made their mark on the young Mr Anderson.

By the way, also Tony Iommi and Rick Wakemen have their own show.

Laufi, what program do you use to record 'stream-music'?

Hi there:

Laufi, what program do you use to record 'stream-music'?

I use dvb-s cards in my computers and can also stream from my dbox2 (with linux). With the dvb-s cards I use ProgDVB and Windvblive to save the ts-stream from sat (should work with every other software as well), but I find these easier to use with timer recordings. Which means you'll get the video/audio stream without re-encoding at all. In this case this will be an mp2 stream in probably 192 kb/s (depends on the station). With the dbox2 I use JackTheGrabber over my Lan to save the stream. No re-encoding as well.

The computers, dbox, as well as some standalone receivers get their signals via diseqc-switches from three satelittes (13.0E, 19.2E, 28.2E), which means most of Europes programs

Hi:

exact in this moment: teaser with Ian for the program on sunday, obviously just before the commercials. Will record the next hour, maybe it will be on again. Had some Zappa, Beefheart & Blues music in the background ....

cheers,

I guess you are right, but he has two hours every week so it's a bit more than 10 minutes, although their will be many music indeed.

Ähm ... äh... mh... wie bitte?

[Laufi]

Was haste nicht verstanden? Du bist doch der englischen Sprache mächtiger als ich, oder?

Snafje, it it's a 2 hours program, it make take one hour to record it, so he could tape up to 10 shows or so on a day off

cheers,

Laufi

Ach, das war englisch?!?

For those who forgot: Ian is on air now!

[Laufi]

Hi:

For those who forgot: Ian is on air now!

well ... I forgot! Tuned in about 30 minutes into the show. Ian is telling stories and being the DJ. Quite interesting, he just talked about FZ and played "Jewish Princess" and now "Elvis Has Just Left The Building". Before that there was Captain Beefheart.

Anyone taped the first part ... please let me know.

cheers,

Laufi

Hi there:

well, ok ... missed about more, as the show obviously started at 6:00 (which is 7:00 here) and I tuned in at about 8:30 ....

Next week will have folk music Ian said at the end. Surely some Fairport tunes.

cheers,

Laufi

Alright, here it is:

I edited the stuff I captured (the last 30 minutes of the show) from part one to an mp3 file (just Ian talking, not the music). It's quite interesting and -as expected- Ian does a superb job with telling stories. Anyway, it's also a good example how sometimes Ian tells stories that can't be exactly true. In this case, he tells the story when he heard aboud Zappa's dead, being in the living room in Portland and crying, drinking half a bottle of wine before he went on stage.
The thing is that -IIRC- F.Z. died on 4.12.1993, his dead being announced two days later. JTs last 1993 concert was on 22.11.1993 (at least that's what the ministry says), so there probably was no JT concert on the day F.Z. died and the story can't be like Ian tells us!
Another thing is that when he mentioned meeting John Kay again on a german TV show, John didn't play with Steppenwolf, but with the german band "Bap". So Ian does what a lot of people do with himself: Ian Anderson=Jethro Tull -> John Kay=Steppenwolf .

To state it clear: I like the show (at least the part of it that I listened to) very much. Ian is a fantastic storyteller. He did such a thing back in 1998 on german TV with videos and I can surely listen to him telling these little stories for hours. So I hope that I don't forget to tune in next sunday 7:00 p.m.

Again, if anyone hears about someone who taped the complete show, please let me know and let's set up a trade.

Anyway, enjoy the file and hurry - I'll delete it later the day or tomorrow morning: http://www.laufi.de/undertheinfluence01.mp3

Wenn ich ehrlich bin, weiss ich auch nicht mehr so hundertprozentig, wann ich 1993 wo genau war….sei ihm gegönnt. Interessant die Auswahl: ”Elvis Has Left the Building“ und ”Jewish Princess“; sollte da doch noch was vom alten Humorpotential in ihm schlummern?

best,
