http://www.sleeponthemic.com Daily recordings of deranged sleep talking Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:34:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Many apologies for the stream of posts suggesting recording/posts were imminent.  This is not true.  I'm experiencing equipment difficulties that require cash to be thrown at the solution.  Basically, due to bedroom / computer separation I need to have a (phantom powered) condenser connectected to a ~20m lead to the ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=137 Note: I have begun recording again.  Unfortunately, the only thing I heard was "oh my god" which seems to be an exclamation regularly experienced.  I feel I must deliver something original and since I'm not in control of this, I cannot guarantee timeframe (nor do you care). At times, it's a ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=136 I have moved house.  This took several days to carry out and thus, definitively explains the lack of update. Back soonShareThis http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=134 Recording has its side benefits.  Occasionally, it provides a post-mortem on other issues. This morning, for instance: Picture your loyal sleeper, dutifully onstage, dreaming his way through another wacky wonderland, when he decides to stretch out for a moment.. Unfortunately his "overclocked"* pedestal fan happens to be running quite hard and in the ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=133 Checked out the site this morning and it turns out that around 1600 visits have come my way today. http://www.metafilter.com/78832/I-hear-the-secrets-that-you-keep Hope you enjoy the foolishness. Furthermore, if you talk, perhaps you might be enthused to record yourself.  I guarantee you, there's nothing quite like your own sleep talking.  Many a morning I've found ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=132 Do I need to see a sleep specialist? Sleep talking is very common and tends to be harmless. If your talking is dramatic, emotional, or vulgar, then it may be a sign of another sleep disorder. (http://www.sleepeducation.com/Disorder.aspx?id=16) That is good advice, but I tend to disagree with the final point.  Even in ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=131 Fortunately the four recordings I did achieve this week (rest were equipment failures) appear to have yielded some result.  Some real "manic panic" in this one.  Not a whole lot of sense, but delivered in typically rabid variance that at the very least highly amuses me. Sleeptalk - 23-30 January, 2009 "Oh ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=130 Split into two files, "regular" sleep talk and a sounds and gibberish compilation.  Great diversity in this stuff, perhaps to the point of being a little hard to believe this is all real (particularly the sounds and gibberish).  For those of you thinking along those lines, try to remember that ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=127 Since I've failed to post for quite some time I'm going to reveal exactly why.  I doubt anybody gives a toss, really, however, I'm tired of posting "it's coming" posts and need to beef this one up with facts.  Do not discount the slackness factor in all of this, it ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=125 I am still alive, I am still recording and I shall soon be posting.  The files are piling up and this means that when I do do it, it is likely to be a considerable update.  I have had to defensively put music on several times lately, when the demonic ... http://www.sleeponthemic.com/?p=121
