[music |EBN -- Beat Success]

Greg Deocampo of Emergency Broadcast Network has a bunch of videos on his web site -- some new stuff, and some old EBN stuff that I hadn't seen before! As your attorney, I advise you to watch these immediately.

How would we watch these on non-Microsoft platforms? It's sending video/x-ms-wmv, which I guess is Windows Media... is there a Windows Media for Mac or something?

I could watch them on my laptop, but it's old and slow and has only 40 megs of memory, which appears to be barely enough to boot Windows Media 9 for Windows these days. I understand Windows Media 6.4 plays all the current formats and would run on my laptop, but Microsoft pretends it doesn't exist.

Xine plays them fine on Linux. Well, as "fine" as Xine plays anything, which is pretty not fine.

There is indeed Windows Media Player for Mac

I believe VLC can play WMV as well, but as I can't figure out how to get my browser to re-route them to VLC instead of WMP, I'm not really sure.

All I can say is... KICK ASS.

I wish he'd, (they'd) put this out on a format that's all nice and clear and fun to show others....

Gardner gave me a vid of some other rare stuff of theirs that I cherish to this day...

I should probably transfer that to DVD.

Dam, EBN were amazing. I saw 'em live back in the day, and have a VHS dub of the tape that came out before their one and only album.

It would be great if he would make some new ones. I'm sure there'd be plenty of material from Donald Rumsfeld and Gee Dubbyaw ;)

I dusted off Telecommunications Breakdown a few weeks ago and gave a listen. I guess it's aged a little but it's still pretty darn good stuff. It was also funny to see the 3.5" floppy still tucked in the cardboard jacket.

didn't EBN do something with a Netscape Video?

I vaguely recall this.

Also, 'Vote2000 - Political Analysis' rocked.
