Randall Munroe, xkcd [4&5&6/6]
So the last few bits and pieces are finally up. They’re pretty short, because like I said, by the end of the day I felt terrible about taking up so much time and space.
Here we go!
Randall Munroe, xkcd [3/6]
Yet another Randall Munroe mp3. This one is a lot harder to make out at the end because I backed up a bit. I felt kind of bad about standing RIGHT next to him all the time with a mic in his face because first of all, it’s creepy, and second, other people wanted to get near him.
Just to clarify, it starts with him talking about police and permits again, and ends with him signing an iPhone on the screen (but not really).
This mp3 has my favorite line yelled by some guy in the crowd–
“Great, we’ve been hacked in real life.”
Randall Munroe, xkcd [2/6]
Hi again! I finished this one faster than I expected (mostly because I want to finish with old audio before I go record new people).
Format is the same as last time– crowd comments in brackets, clarifications and unintelligible bits in italics, text broken up rather arbitrarily. Comment if you can hear something that I didn’t.
Someone named Liryon actually has a video of part of this mp3 on Youtube. And you can see me in it! I’m the girl standing to the left of Randall, holding the tape recorder, obviously. The first time I saw it, it was very creepy and avant-garde to watch a recording of me recording someone else. Watching the video is fun because I can finally see the people who are shouting out random comments.
Randall Munroe, xkcd [1/6]
The first mp3 of Randall Munroe. Crowd comments are in brackets, clarifications or indecipherable statements are in italics, and each new voice begins on a new line. My own personal comments are in bold brackets (there are only two in this transcription). I’ve broken the text down into segments based off particular questions. On the tape, there’s no real distinction, but I felt it fit best this way.
Any transcribing errors are entirely my own fault, so go ahead and comment on mistakes, or if you can make out what the guy says about the permit.
Enjoy!
