  1. @Janeydonald I heard the Narional Fairground Archive has oral history recordings, but do you have live recordings of fairground barkers?
  2. RT @flipash: BBC R&D blog: Audio on the Web - Rediscovering the era of the Radiophonic Workshop bbc.in/LHdT1G
  3. Found a copy of Clive Barker's 'Cabal' on top of a pillar box today. Anyone else found any random books recently?
  4. RT @wildearthvoices: Incredible sounds from the Ayers Lake old growth Acadian Forest, New Brunswick, Canada bit.ly/KDTqYL
  5. @LondonStone Londoners in WW1 reported hearing artillery barrages on the Somme. 17th C naval Battle of Lowestoft was heard in Walthamstow!
  6. @connorwalsh made do with the little Sony PCM M10 recorder instead, which is actually not bad. Plus it's a nice sunny day.
  7. @connorwalsh It's like going to the loo and finding you've only got one testicle.
  8. @SebThomasSound thanks a lot for the mention, re historical sounds: hopefully should have some more up on the site soon.
