That’s right, Brian McKim and Traci Skene have produced their very first audio CD– 66:41 of hilarity!
We thought that the fourth-to-last day of 2006 would be the perfect time to launch the CD. It’s been a year of D.I.Y. for us– new color headshots, new video clips, YouTube and MySpace exploitation– all made possible by the new WWW technology and some local capital investment in some hardware here at SHECKYmag HQ.
We recorded the audio using our Sony MZ-R50 MD recorder. We copped it from eBay way back in the early spring, and also picked up a couple of inexpensive lavaliere mikes with pretty good frequency response. The quality is startling.
The title comes from the intersection that The Male Half of the Staff grew up a half-block away from, in Pennsauken, NJ. We think it captures us quite nicely!
Click on the PayPal button in our left column (the one where you can buy a sweatshirt … the same button that has been inoperative– unbeknownst to us for a few days!)– and you’ll be whisked to our PayPal page. It’s available for $12! (That includes shipping and handling!) We did a test-market this past weekend and things went well! And the feedback we got was very positive!
There are many ways of doing things. One can wait around for someone to come along and do it for you, or you can Do It Yourself! It’s a nice feeling to have finally created an item like “Pleasant & Gross.” It’s nice when an audience member comes up and proclaims, “I gotta have one of those!” And it’s a nice feeling to be able to provide it!
We plan on many more D.I.Y. projects in 2007! And we wish you all the gumption, the energy and the wherewithal to do yours, too!
