That was the year it wasIt’s not really time to sum the year of 2021 up yet… But I couldn’t wait, so I told the stories of some of the retro events of the year that it was.– The upcoming Amiga500 mini.– The newest Vampire V4 (Icedrake and Firebird)– The death of sir Clive Sinclair and the 2017(!) ZX “reboot”.– I incorrectly stated that the A500 mini will come out 2021-03-31. Pretty obviously it’s 2022-03-31.

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO54. Failure is the interesting optionToday, it’s a another walk down memory lane of some stupid mistakes done by me and others when working with old computers.

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO51. God help me, it's Jumalauta 2021!Jumalauta 2021 is over and brought 15 contestants to the tracked music demo scene. All parties have their style and Jumalauta had a rather informal feel to the music. Some is seriously crafted with nice chords and heavy beats, whereas others are just joking around.

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO47. The basics of the home computer revolutionIn the early 1980s, the people of Sweden had to be taught to program! This was the next step.

But it didn’t happen the way everyone expected: through the joys of Basic.[…]2021-08-141h 03

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO45. The fallout connectionFallout, how I love thee! Let me count the ways 1,2,Tactics,3,New Vegas,4… Let’s just end there…DJ Daemon was inspired by Fallout to create his own voice acted radio station, but wisely choose to create this one instead. It’s sad if you voice act some old man screaming in the radio from a bunker, and no one will get that it isn’t you for real. I mean, that’s a ruined reputation right there. Really dodged a bullet, there…Corrections: Fallout 1 was released in 1997, not 1995 as stated in the intro.[…]2021-07-311h 04

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO41. Postcards from summers pastI 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 sh...2021-06-281h 02

Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO38. Smokerings from heavenTonight, we go to the big Jazz club in the sky … Or maybe it’s the cloud where all the great Amiga, Atari and PC jazz-tracks can be found. DJ Daemon remembers one of Swedish radio’s best: Leif “Smokerings” Andersson and pays tribute to him.
