Oddity Archive: Episode 42 – Industrial Musicals (or, The Archive Sells Out!) (2016 RE-EDIT)

Like the first “Format Wars” episode, this one got chewed on extensively by the YT bots—to the point where a few sections of the episode had the audio (involuntarily) muted and entire other stretches had been reduced to especially dodgy quality.

To be honest, I’ve never been terribly happy with this episode and it took every drop of self-control I had to not completely rebuild this one from the ground up (if not outright remake the episode). What I’ve done here is edited and replaced parts of the songs excerpted on an as-needed basis, but also tried to tighten up the (maddeningly awkward) transitions between sections, move some of the text commentary around (for better legibility) and level out the audio a little better than I did the first time around. Despite my dislike for this one, I've tried to keep things fairly true to the original cut.
