This Is No Longer About You
This one is for BigBearButtBlogger. If he doesn’t appreciate The Smiths, nobody will.
And on the technical front, we’re getting better with Garageband. Please notice how gently the soundtrack ducks under the dwarf voice. We manually dropped it by 3dB, which was just enough so you could hear the dwarf and not lose the music. The master ducking setting was something like -9dB; we couldn’t make out the music at all.
It’s the little details like this that make the creative process so much fun for us!

Who doesn’t love The Smiths?
I’m pretty impressed.
But needs moar Hobbes growling at the end! Just a “RAWR” to accentuate it methinks
That one is saying “yes” to me.
No offense, but I like the last one better.
Heavy metal was a bit heavy, bagpipes had a nice scottish/dwarf feel but The Smiths cool and moody sounds go quite nicely. I miss all that eighties music. Is there a fourth option though?
I like this one the best. One of my favorite songs and it I think it Fits.
“And if a double-decker buuus, crashes into uuuus!”…
I haven’t listened to it. Can’t. Not installing Quicktime and going through that rigmarole again, even though I’m sure the Windows Media formats are just as annoying to Apple users as QT is to PCs.
No chance of doing them in the lovely universal MP3 format, it’s catching on quite well I hear… Or even (because I love the name only) Ogg Vorbis?
God, I just love *saying* Ogg Vorbissss.
I don’t know who The Smiths are, but this was good, very good. It was not overwhelming (noise factor, I mean), and a good length. You could hear this multiple times and not want to kill someone.
Best so far, could use a little more length, but you’re on the right path.
Can we get a raw mp3 link? I dropped all things Apple when they “dabbled” in being spyware.
Yeah, it needs a bit more length but you’re getting there.
“You could hear this multiple times and not want to kill someone.”
BAM!
Best review ever!
On a somewhat related note, you might enjoy this hip hop track about WoW from Zealous1 and Super Dragon X:
(it’s the very first song on the top of the page, called “Hum of Death”)

i’m known to flow with vengeance coast 2 coast
i boast the most, you should have never rolled a rogue
so i hope you know to maintain that stun lock
or your wack ass toon’s gettin ganked and done drop
the best at pulls, i wreck white skulls
and drop more mats than a clefthide bull
you’re the weakest turd on elitist jerks
who put a week of work
calculating the crit rate of the Cleaver’s hurt
declined the duel, you weren’t willin to fight
only willin to kite to avoid the critical strikes
i kill it so tight, your weak ‘lock feel the backlash
one hit puts your ya wack ass in a trash bag
i’ll own you in five on five or three on three
your death? easily when it comes to PvP
so heathens please, back down cuz you’re wrong
Z and SD, represent with the warsong
(hook 2x)
i bless it tight kill with the method right
the rest will kite but know that i’m the best to fight
and death defy gravity with an epic sight
so recognize i fight to bring your death in flight
whether i drop DoTs, a few HoTs
my druid cyclones and roots a tank to his knees
bring your five-man down to a freeze
super duper boomkin, moonfire, bring out the trees
PEW PEW PEW! servin’ human pallies like a child
your blessings ain’t nothing to my mark of the wild
i defiled your whole camp and ganked your mage
and you’re stuck hearing nothin but “Not enough rage!”
SDX sung your fate in the chorus
so stick to the barrens typing stuff about chuck norris
epics and elites, we don’t need a group of ten
we got super dragon x and hell’s ice cream men (thunder bluff!)
rewind the track back and then prepare to witness
steppin up guarantees resurrection sickness
you pulled aggro from SDX and me
ain’t nobody on WoW can crowd control Z
(scratches)
rep…rep…rep…represent with the Warsong!
LE-E-ROY-ROY
kill…kill…kill with the method right
represent with the Warsong!
LEEEROY!!! JENKINS!!!
I really like this one….I think it would fit nicely as an intro.
the last one blew this one away
I have to say that I like the way the voice was done in this one better than the last one, but I still like the last one better.
Eh, I do like this one best. But I also agree that I’d like a Hobbes rawr on the tail end for… ummm.. emphasis. But the way you are weaving the voice and music kicks ass. Very clean, very clear.
As Anj said earlier, I could listen to that over and over.
Oh, and yes, love the music
Reminds me of a song…
“And I’m sick of your tattoos, and the way you always criticize The Smiths… and Morrissey.”
I liek the first one your reader sent you the best. But I dont like this one at all.
Much, much better… maybe needs a little more bang, but very close…
The Smiths - FTW! I like it!
Hi BRK,
I’ve liked all your intro ideas so far, even the bagpipes.
Perhaps you want something a bit harder. By far my favorite hunter grinding music is AC/DC. Many lead intros to their songs would be a nice background. The following are all rockin:
Back in Black
Hells Bells
Thunderstruck
You Shook Me All Night Long
Hard As a Rock
For Those About to Rock
Its a Long Way to the Top (If You Want to Rock & Roll)
Highway to Hell
Shoot to Thrill
The Smiths rule the cosmos. I’m not sure they scream “BRK”, but they rule the cosmos. Much better than the previous attempt.
Turing there has a fabulous suggestion in “Thunderstruck”. That song has a long, fabulous intro that would probably work great for a podcast. Plus, it’s one of the greatest rock songs of all time. And mega cool points that it’s a song by a bunch of Australian guys that references Texas (yeah Texas!).

Have you got any other format to post podcasts with? The version of quicktime that works with Win2k is just not doing the job for me.
How soon *is* now?
I must have spent too many years watching Charmed, because that’s what I think of when I hear this (Love Spit Love’s version of How Soon is Now was used as the intro song).
Ooh, I’d like to hear a Thunderstruck one. Of course, that’ll just make me feel like I’m at a White Sox game, since they use the song to get everyone excited as the players run onto the field.
I think so far my vote would go to a slightly shorter version of the bagpipe intro.
tbf, bagpipes was way better then this 1 :p
