Tired due to a heavy work weekend and in a need for some silly fun! So, that's what's up for dinner on this show. We only eat the dessert today. Pointless, comical and really enjoyable songs like pirate shanties, parodies and sample heaven (hell?).DJ Daemon is on fire and gives you the tracked music scenes most silly, but really cool stuff like bananas that are tasty, cartoon sampling and piratey goodness worthy of Monkey island.

I had no idea what I was doing when I started this episode. I called it "Happy summer days" and started sourcing the tunes. When I recorded the intro it was meant to be about a specific summer, but I quickly expanded the scope and ended up thinking about a personal story with something about retro computers or retro technology from my favourite summers in the 90s and 00s. I left the intro as it was, as I think it's kinda fun how the story takes a life of its own and veers off on a different course during the show.

Forndata 2021 Summer is over and brought a lot of joy to the demoworld from Visby in Sweden. It was off course online only, but presented demo-, C64- and tracked music compos as you'd expect from a true demo party. The start was on time and there were few problems until the OctaMed-tune from heck just would play and was disqualified. The line up was good and the tunes were all up to the standard you'd expect from them. The interviews were quite unique with Swedish minister of digitilization, Anders Ygeman and legendary Commodore techs Bil Herd and Dave Haynie.

I'm kinda amazed by the tecnhological prowess of the cracker groups. But personally I walked away from downloading piracy copied games when I got my modem, as I didn't like the community. For me the demo scene and the normal BBS:es was the thing I loved and respected. When I got a steady salary, buying software was the way I eventually went. Sure, I used Napster as well. But that for a later show, I guess.

33. Liberty,equality and tracker music
From France comes the Shadow party 2021 and between 2021-05-21 and 2021-05-23 the virtual doors opened for a brand new demo party. We jumped at the chance to broadcast the tunes the same day they competed, so we did not know who had won. But we know now:The winners:1) TDTTDHAD - The Demo Track That Didn't Have A Demo - CS-Jay / Desire Persuasive Music Slide / Polka Brothers2) Evolution / Ma2e and Aceman3) Brightstar - Mystra / Brainstorm Nectarine (Amiga 4-channels)

33. Tracks from the past
The ERICADE Radio Network is now officially a true tracker music broadcaster and not limited to just Amiga modules. With this change, it's time to look back at what tracker music is and delve into its rich history. From Karsten Obarsky and the Ultimate Soundtracker on the Amiga and to todays Fast Tracker multi channel magic - it's been quite a ride. Like Emmet Brown in back to the future, we ask ourselves "My god, has it been this long?". Yes! Yes it has.... and we've got a really nice set of songs from Swedish artist Slaze as well, so that's the latter half of the show. It's also up on the station now. Both some of his old stuff and a number of much newer tunes. Enjoy!

32. Tomorrow never knows
The future of the station? Is it so bright we have to wear shades. Maybe not, but there are a number of interesting things going on:The door is open for ALL kind of tracker music, ever if it's strictly not said Amiga. Impulsetracker modules with 64 channels will not run on the Amiga, but it's still a tracker tune. We're venerating the Amiga in spirit. Still, the large majority of all tunes on this station is still Amiga.More features to the web site coming.More jingles in the near future.A little know clip on our YouTube-channel got a life of its own.More interviews!

31. Epic fail
So, it was not meant to be... Most that compete, fail. That's the rule of most games. Jack Tramiel named his company "Commodore" (a navy rank) as he throught the computer business was a war. Today we commemorate the failures, because they weren't often not bad, just unsuccessful. From the ilfated Amiga 600 to the Texas Instruments TI 99/4A. DJ Daemon remembers the days of infighting between hordes of different computers that were by and large incompatible with each other.

28. Too pooped to party
The whole Saturday was one big fight against compressors, limiters, scripts, virtual machines and all the other "tech gods" out there. But the station sounds better than ever and I'm too tired to create a big show. Instead you get some banter and the newest music to enter the station. A really super mix of the smoothest and the coolest beats the Amiga mod scene can muster.The Revision Demo scene episode tracker competition episode is postponed until next week, but it will be done!

27. A pox on all your Amigas
Viruses are no fun, but we have had to contend with them since the 70s. The Amiga had its share of them like SCA, Bytebandit, Saddam Hussein, Lamer exterminator and some others. Some just wrote cute messages, whereas others deliberately or by mistake destroyed your data. Let DJ Daemon take you back to the 80s and guide you through the less popular parts of Amiga history.

26. Raiders of the lost show
Two months before Amiga Flashback came to be, this show went on the air and due to technical problems it was lost for the ages. Like a digital Indiana Jones, DJ Daemon went into the dangerous ruins of the old server and dug the treasures out of the maw of oblivion. The show that went on the air 2020-10-12 at 6 pm is now back, restored and the broken elements carefully repaired. This is the inaugural show that celebrated Dr Awesome's arrival on the station as an artist.

22. Another lazy sunday evening
Due to a heavy work load, the Saturday episode of Amiga Flashback had to be broadcast on a Sunday. This time DJ Daemon focuses on the music and selects a set of more chill tunes. The bpm varies between brisk and calm, but it's more beautiful vibes and nice synth chords than heavy beat today.Errata:17:57 : The SSI-intro is actually a commercial demo for some upcoming SSI-games.

21. Look at you,hacker!
Hackers are mythical creatures that just get in everywhere. Hacking is alas used as ersatz magic in many games and Hollywood movies. DJ Daemon tires of this and tries to find some games and movies that does this in a reasonly correct way. He uses a very generous definition of "correct". But the suspence of disbelief is a strong force of nature. So let's just accept this as a proper hacker story.

It's almost Valentines day and love may be in the air. DJ Daemon doesn't care too much about that and instead plays everloving Amiga-tunes and remembers when he fell in love with C64 basic (perhaps not something he wants to admit...), the demo scene and everything else around Commodore geekdom.He also overuses the word "Love" in a way that even the Beatles would have found a bit too much.

Nerds and geeks are peaceful right? Nope! We battle as much as anyone else, but seldom in a fisticuffs fight. You know, it's all about words and feeling superior because we have an HP 48 calculator, an Amiga instead of an Atari or because our favorite demo group just won in the great demo party. DJ Daemon dives into why we need to form groups or "cliques" where we feel elevated and enlighted as opposed of those other "troglodytes" of the competition.

17. Standing on the brink in the eve of destruction
The 80s ended more than 30 years ago, but it was an interesting time in the eye of an impressionable youth such as me. I was 5 when it started and 15 when it was over. In between we had the closing chapter in the cold war, a battle between home computers, a combat where silence met the truth of an incident in a village near Kiev and off course the monumental clash between east and west as the borders fell. Most of this is presented through the eyes of the child I was back then.

15. Return of the Tekmann
Chiptunes are back in style in the retro scene. On of the people keeping this classic 80s and 90s computer music alive is Tekmann, who does his music on two Gameboys. He avoids doing to much post-work on the tunes he composes and instead prefers letting the real hardware doing the heavy lifting. It's as real as it gets! Today we meet him in an interview where he talks about his creative approach, his "lone wolf" musician hobby and exactly how much he likes touring... That is when can, as the Corona puts quite a damper on it. You will also get to know why a Dead Mau5 looking super hero outfit is his prefered outfit when performing.

20 minutes before the show would "Air", I knew it could be done. My plan was to record it later. But as my previous engagements fell throutgh, I sprung into action and got all things good from Amiga Modules Archive with a rating of 9 out of 10. Hence the cheezy reference to the old sci-fi turkey created by Ed Wood. Then I voice tracked at a warp 10 speed and barely got it out in time.

Being wrong is no fun, but it's soo easy. This episode jokes around about the incorrect stuff I said during the fall of 2020 and even puts the very idea of calling it "Errata" on a podcast in question. So it's time to question our correctness and sanity. Maybe being wrong is ok, but what if you let a crazy mad scientist style cryptographer doing it on a IT-security podcast? Daemon shudders when he remembers.Errata:- You just read it... I will explain it in the podcast.- And... Geez... This will have no end. The Mix tape guy is actually from Luxembourg, not Germany.

Dr Awesome is a staple here, but today's podcast plays the remixes that you don't get to hear on the station otherwise.

Broadcast during the Forndata-event, it features some commentaries from me finally losing the battle to Whamming, the cool weirdness that was the demos released and a lot of discussions about the CDTV and the CD32. Those two ultimately failing Commodore projects with vastly different starting points. Why did they fail and what was different and what was exactly the same?The first hour deals with the Forndata event and stuff like that.The second hour is all about the CDTV and it's weird journey.The third hour gives you the CD32 - Commodore's last hurrah.Errata: I claimed that if I gotta Whammed, I would cut the power to the whole building. When that unexpectedly DID happen, I failed to live up to my threat. Very sorry, but I don't want to have a call from my landlord. It's bad for my "having a home"-situation.In hour two, PlayIt live deleted two voicetracks. I was able to fix it live, but ended up not knowing what I had said that was not deleted and therefore name some hardware facts twice. Sorry about that.
