To the delight of all present, Lonesome Radio Heart played a terrific set here at The Banana Stand last night.

I’d like to thank Paul, Elisa, Stephanie, Jeremy, Ryan and Gordy from Lonesome Radio Heart for playing such a good show. I’d also like to thank all their fans for coming out to the show and, more importantly, for keeping our house prim and proper (seriously, our kitchen was spotless).

Banana Standers deserve thanking as well, thanks Aaron, Jott, Ross and Shawn for hanging and helping with the show.

Check back on Tech Offensive and Banana Stand Media soon for live tracks from Lonesome Radio Heart. Thanks again to everyone for coming out.

As previously reported on the Tech Offensive, LONESOMERADIOHEART is playing here at the Banana Stand on February 9th at 800 pm.

Check back soon for Live tracks, interviews, and more images of the band.

Again, thanks to Paul, Jeremy, Elisa, Stephanie, Ryan and Gordy for coming out. All of us are looking forward to Saturday!

EDIT: Now with more audio, CLICK HERE GET A PREVIEW TRACK OF LONESOME RADIO HEART AT THE BANANA STAND!!!!

Hey, everyone, it’s How Do I Shot Web!

How Do I Shot Web is a new Tech Offensive network show where we will teach you, the listener, how we do all the amazing things we do.

This week we discuss netcasting.

If you have a tech problem or question that you would like answered, send it to techoffensive (at) gmail.com, maybe we’ll do an ep about it.

On this episode:

• Leo Laporte, the man, the myth, the savior, the personal inspiration,
• The Alesis Multimix 8, the past,
• The Mackie Onyx 1620, the present, the future,
• GearMediaTech, a past and future reference for your recording gear needs,
• and also Skype, Audio Hijack, and other bullshit.

Also, in this episode, we cite this Tech Offensive post that cites this Leo Laporte Leoville.TV post. So I cite them both now.

Thanks so much to Jott Robertson and Ross Faulkenberg for joining the cast tonight.

So now, without further ado, here it is, HOW DO I SHOT WEB EPISODE ONE HOW WE SHOT NETCAST OMG CAPS <—–right click save as.

“Oh, right. One more thing. This is the last Uncov. Ever. I have been getting tired of it, and this has been manifesting itself in my writing. After seeing the spectacle at the Crunchies, I think it’s finally time to quit.”

Makes me sad. I always thought the writer [Ted Dziuba] was probably a goon; always had great (probably Awful-forums derived) image macros.

Maybe if TechOffensive ever gets some readers he could find a home here.

Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Go check out the archives at Uncov.com while they’re still up. Hopefully the Dziuba will still write somewhere.

Hey, look, I can do it too:

MacbookAir…iPhone/Touch updates…AppleTV updates…iTunes movie rentals…TimeCapsule…holy shit

And a picture of Carl Weathers lifted from this dude’s flickr (that he lifted from Arrested Development) (nice ‘all rights reserved’)

Please check back soon for HOT HOT NETCAST ACTION discussing these announcements.

EDIT: View the whole keynote HERE (thanks TUAW).

Anyway, here is the NEWS:

… and look how excited we are!

I’ve uploaded all pictures taken with my camera to a Flickr account, but if you’d rather you can grab a zip of the whole set instead.

Vanessa was kind enough to send me a link to some pics she has from the party, they include pics from her camera:

and some Polaroids that Cassie took:

Vanessa took the pic of Clint being excited as well.

Jott also has some pics up in a .Mac Web Gallery, but really, who the fuck cares?

Ok, just kidding Jott, jeeze, chill out.

If you like the pictures, let us know: leave us a comment.

We’ve mentioned Fabriclive once or twice on the cast, so I thought this might be of interest. I guess Fabriclive expected something else when they tapped the hype act of ought-seven for the 37th installment of their ongoing mix series. Too much obscure French disco and novelty acts in the short mix killed it, and besides, clearing the rights on all that shit probably wouldn’t have been worth the cash. Ed Banger ends up releasing it as a Xmas gift for friends of the label and somehow it ends up on the internet(?!)Grab it from AsianManDan here: Justice at Fabriclive
