Created by Frank Edward Nora (frank@theovernightscape.com) in New Jersey, USA
------------------------------
The Overnightscape Underground is a companion project to The Overnightscape (theovernightscape.com), an Internet radio show hosted by Frank since March 2003.
------------------------------
Many thanks to those who wrote show notes on The Overnightscape Wiki for these episodes of The Rampler. This is the text that was on the description for each of these episodes:
------------------------------
You can help! Go to this episode's page on The Rampler Show Notes Wiki and write some show notes for this episode. They can be as brief or detailed as you like. Always feel free to add more details or make corrections to what's already there. Thanks!!

Join host Frank Edward Nora his daily commute, walking through the streets of NYC, as he discusses a dizzying myriad of topics. This show is an experimental "spinoff" of Frank's main show, The Overnightscape (which continues on as normal). The show is recorded directly as a 128kbps MP3 file on an Edirol R-09 portable recorder. This makes it much easier to release the recordings, since no post-production is required. Also, at least to start with, the shows will be released without show notes to further speed up the release process.

"The Rampler" is released here on The Overnightscape Underground, but it exists outside the standard "Day" format - again, to make it easier to very quickly record and release.

The Rampler #1 (8/14/08) (18:15 / 16.8 MB)
Show Notes:
Testing audio, Beta version for this new project, Overnightscape raw feed, streamlined version of the overnightscape with no descriptions and no post-production, getting to a lot of topics, making it easier to release shows, test of the system, Burritoville, name of this project, Overnightscape Raw Feed, Overnightscape Feed, Do one thing and do it well, getting stuff in the overnightscape underground, getting new stuff out there, minimal descriptions. Overnightscape stripped. This episode is pretty much Frank planning and plotting this ’stripped down’ version of Overnightscape, testing and describing his equipment and methods.

The Rampler #2 (8/14/08) (11:32 / 10.7 MB)
Show Notes:
Much like the first episode, this is primordial, preperatory verbal goo, a continued ‘warm up’ for the actual upcoming series. Basically, this is Frank, searching for that Rampler Groove.

The Rampler #3 (8/14/08) (41:56 / 38.5 MB)
Show Notes:
Our Man, Nora, continues to settle into the looser format. He reviews the two previous ‘test’ shows as he wanders through a post-thunderstorm Times Square. He announces the decision to name this series ‘The Rampler’ with lengthy exposition on the thought process, coincidences that led to this decision. Decides 20-90 is the ideal new setting. Has put an old, ‘retro’ logo on the Overnightscape site. A crazy hassidic says ‘Leaves Without Aphids(?)’. Frank uses his cigar holder to visit Sam Ash and play synthesizors and the Hershey Store. He, as he often ponders, wonders if he should just do one program and call it all The Overnightscape. Motor Excursion Ruffians.

The Rampler #4 (8/15/08) (37:41 / 34.6 MB)
Show Notes:
Beta 4 begins at the Port Authority and Frank launches with a review of the previous experiments and re-reviews the overall Rampler Concept. «missed some in here» Discusses Robert Moog’s name and the ‘moooooog/moag’ pronounciation. Talks about how 2005 was the ‘Year of the Podcast’, bemoans that despite his true pioneerdom and dilligence he has never fit into the clique of ‘popular podcasters’. Another reason for the Rampler is that he may be spending too much home/quality family time with the podcast instead of the Mrs. How Rampler will let him riff and cover topics that wind up unused on The Overnightscape.

The Rampler #5 (8/15/08) (27:23 / 25.2 MB)
Show Notes:
A lunchbreak episode. Frank has registered the rampler.com domain name and finally seems settled that this will be the name of these programs. Mentions Walter Becker’s new solo lp. Doesn’t like Circus Money at all. Elite Foodbar is considered. Steely Dan talk for the uninformed. Crazy woman, who is behaving more normal than usual. Deli sounds. Sees a white guy and an Asian girl making out that initially look like mannequins. Sounds like ‘Slingblade’ when he says ‘doggys’. Describes and takes over spot by East River for lunch, reviews Aloe Vera King drink and stops to eat.

The Rampler #6 (8/15/08) (26:23 / 24.2 MB)
Show Notes:
Finishing his lunch, Frank resumes recording. Discusses the use of helicopters as transit, ponders what it would take to bring the craft into more common use. Commuting, transportation and the tram. Has cigar to smoke, after all. Launches into a lengthy critiquer of the latter Star Wars era, especially pointing at Jar Jar Binks as emblematic to the issue. Finishes show by suggesting that, since he wasn’t going to do show notes for Rampler episodes, doing a wiki where listeners might.
