A few months ago my computer caught a nasty virus and boyfriend had to rebuild it. I lost a lot, but I lost a very important element of my professional life - my accumulative 7 year on air radio work.

Well this morning while looking for an old Foreign Exchange CD, I found the original CD that has ALL my production, air checks, and interviews on it!

I am so STOKED! That was a HUGE part of my life and a very personal and meaningful thing is back!

Now I am going to go upload the CD again and BACK it up immediately! I'm so STOKED! My voice work (award - winning, I must add ) has been recovered! This means so much because I've begun doing voice talent out of the home. Some of the work on there was so important. There were also a lot of bits and sound effects I lost, until now! AWESOME!

Carry on.

Awesome.

That's great!

Congrats. I always equate these technological victories like finding a 10 or 20 note in a coat pocket. Just makes the day better.

I agree!

KatSkrizzle said:

That is so cool. I remember when you said you thought you had lost it.

That's great news! I'm sure that it's a huge relief to have all that again.

ernestsewell said:

HELL YEAH!

I'm friggin stoked! Can't wait to get to work during the holiday break!

KatSkrizzle said:

Look at John. All quiet and shit.


Or is he? Maybe he's getting undressed. Hope he brings his b/f along.

I CALL MIDDLE!

I wish I had all my airchecks n shit

Whe I left the station, I sat in that studio and downloaded three CDs full of shit. Then I deleted my files. Those fuckers were NOT going to pimp out my work. I wiped that shit OUT!

I'm so ready to get this shit poppin. Plus I work on a music summit so I get free vendor and ad space all over that shit. I've been working on that conference since 2002. WHY didn't I pimp it before? DUH!

That is awesome!

When do we get to hear some??

very cool

that is SUCH a relief!!!

I remember feeling SO sad for you when you posted of your loss...



glad it's all better!

That's hot.

nyse, I so happy for you... so when you found it did you dance around the room.... or did you scream at the top of your lungs...lol

Great News!
Its like when you spend hours / days looking for something and as soon as you give up trying to find it BANG it's there right under your nose.
Happens to me all the time!

"old" Foreign Exchange CD?

Their oldest CD is like 6 years old (but doesn't sound like it)

KatSkrizzle said:

So you're going back into radio. are you ready to walk back into the bullshit?

ernestsewell said:

I found $40 in my jeans today!! Didn't even know I'd lost it

When I can get that stuff back in my cool edit, I will post.

nyse said:

I did a dance, yes I did. Kinda like this, tho!

You know of Foreign Exchange! Yes! Nicolay and Phonte. I love that first album (2004). Although Phonte went OFF on me for not listening to it right away (He lived in Durham, where I lived, ran in same circles). He read me a riot act that felt like a lover's quarrel. I banned his CD for a while for it, but gave in and got hooked.

asshole

On my terms. I'd rather do voice work from the house. It's bullshit, but it's really what I was GOOD at. I loved the production element. I've worked with guys that have gone on and do voicing from home. They're pretty happy.

KatSkrizzle said:

gotta do whatcha gotta I really want to hear your checks

KatSkrizzle said:

I LOVE the foreign exchange and Phonte's other group, "Zo! and Tigallo". I've made a couple of threads about them in Non Prince but nobody really pays attention to them

I've talked to Phonte on Okayplayer a couple of times. He's a real cool guy. He'll probably read me a riot act cuz I haven't really listened to any of Little Brother's albums
