Audio Adventures: 555 Timer
Once again, Tim explores the sonic possiblities of everyday electronics:
“The 555 is an integrated circuit (chip) implementing a variety of timer and multivibrator applications. The IC was designed and invented by Hans R. Camenzind. It was designed in 1970 and introduced in 1971 by Signetics (later acquired by Philips). The original name was the SE555/NE555 and was called “The IC Time Machine”. It is still in wide use, thanks to its ease of use, low price and good stability. Still today, Samsung in Korea manufactures over 1 billion units per year (2003).
The 555 timer is one of the most popular and versatile integrated circuits ever produced. It includes 23 transistors, 2 diodes and 16 resistors on a silicon chip installed in an 8-pin mini dual-in-line package (DIP). The 556 is a 14-pin DIP that combines two 555s on a single chip. The 558 is a 16-pin DIP that combines four, slightly modified, 555s on a single chip (DIS & THR are connected internally, TR is falling edge sensitive instead of level sensitive). Also available are ultra-low power versions of the 555 such as the 7555. The 7555 has a slightly different wiring using less external components and less power.” – (Source: Wikipedia)

Hooting Yard: Tales of the Uncanny
They called him MacTavish, and he was the village wrestler. He lived in a room above the post office. No other living being ever set foot in the room until the day MacTavish died. They found him lying on his bed, as if he were asleep, but there was no doubt that he was dead, for hovering above his chest was a baleful phantom, emitting gruesome suppurations of foul-smelling extraterrestrial hideousness which it poured into a funnel inserted into MacTavish’s right ear. They closed up the room and nailed the door shut and it remained unopened for the next hundred years.

Midnight Sex Talk – Media Massacre
Midnight Sex Talk – Media Massacre!
We had to turn on our own sooner or later, or at least give it a darn good going-over. In the company of Al Needham, live on the show for the first time, Midnight Sex Talk is taking a long hard look at the mainstream media’s influence over our sexual lives. Are celebrity shagfests, and tit jobs for girlfriends offered as prizes, taking us where we don’t really want to go? Or are magazines right in claiming, like certain rappers, that they’re simply reflecting back what we’ve been thinking all along? Do you believe that women’s magazines are really promoting sexual liberation, or just another set of rules for keeping your man?
Midnight Sex Talk is broadcast on alternate Sunday nights, from 11.30pm-12.30am, on Resonance 104.4 FM. More info about us here.
You Are Hear Sessions: Bruno & Michel are smiling and Skipperrr
Bruno & Michel are smiling and Skipperrr played a live session on You Are Hear on Nov 21st 2005. ‘Once we used to be a two headed dog. Our heads then became divided on a dusky pasture beyond the famous Oceanos by a guy who called himself Heracles. He thought that he killed us, but the reality was that we were still alive. Since then we are two separated individuals and therefore we needed two different names.’
Oliver aka BRUNO & MICHEL ARE SMILING & Charlotte aka SKIPPERRR explain the reason for using two artist names…

Failure to do so will result in re-education!” proclaims the Selfish overlord’s prolefeed.The Bing Selfish Radio Show is a six part radio comedy set in the world of tomorrow, which is amost not quite as dystopian as today.
