Well, there was enough of a response last time that I decided to go ahead and make another podcast. You’ll note the new banner in the sidebar and the one above, and yes, it’s Transmission 002 from the audiObelisk. And in case it’s not clear, the title is, “An Ode to Fuzz.”

We can get to the tracklisting in a second, but first, the disclaimers:

? These songs are all my rips.
? With the exception of Sasquatch, they were ripped directly from physical media (CDs) to wav form, compiled in Sony SoundForge 10 and then converted to 256k bitrate mp3 for better sound quality than standard iPodular fare. Sasquatch was converted from an aiff file to wav, then to mp3.
? The file is 287mb, and there is just over two and a half hours’ worth of music.
? I once again chose not to inject myself into the proceedings in some kind of DJ form. I still reserve the right to do so in the future.

As you’ve probably guessed, it’s a collection of some of the best fuzz rock has to offer, from the doom of Electric Wizard to the high desertry of Kyuss and Natas. Some obvious, some obscure. It features new songs from Asteroid and Sasquatch. I don’t think there’ll be many complaints with the song selection.

Please enjoy the stream above or download the file. Full tracklist is after the jump, comments are more than welcome.
