    Listening to Mirrors

    Radio Taxi

    by
    I think I’ve made my love affair with Taxi Driver pretty clear already, but here I am using it again. I instantly thought of the theme music by Bernard Hermann for the assignment. I spliced it up in a few places and I think most of them are fairly clean, though there’s one in particular … Continue reading Radio Taxi

    This week has been a pretty horrible week for me. I was extremely sick (and I am never sick, so I was not a happy camper) which made it very hard for me to get any of my work done this week, especially my ds106 work. Luckily, I was able to tune into ds106 radio […]
