One Life Left — s04e24 — #96 — Poole Over
Season Finales are supposed to offer closure, but What mortal could write an ending for a season that’s included all-star contributions from Joe Cornish, Iain Lee and Simon Byron’s niece? Only one man: it’s official OLL literary expert Steven Poole, author of Trigger Happy, the definitive book about videogames!
Steven’s bar-raising appearance not withstanding, what else can you expect from the last episode of OLL for a little while? There’s a spectacular three-way song fight between Season 3’s most tuneful contributors. There’s what Ann declared before the show to be her ‘worst news ever’, no small feat. There are reviews, there are chiptunes, there are small sobs as we say goodbye. Boo! Hoo!
There’s also reference to these awesome listener-contributed remixes which we didn’t have time to play. Find them in this crudely open directory right here:
Spencer Lee’s “No Butts”
Blinn’s “OLL Amiga Mashup”
Amazing. Thanks, chaps. And thanks to SteVader too, who rescued this show after someone (not us, obviously) broke the Resonance backup machine.
Other Music on #96
The Doctor’s in Danger: Mahamajama
Hotncold: Bit The Medusa
The Kat and Marie Waltz: Orenji
Download the MP3 from here.
And with that One Life Life Season 4 is done, done, done. New listeners, don’t fret: twenty-four episodes of varying quality are available on this website or iTunes right now (you can even go back as far as the start of Season 3 if you really want). Old listeners, don’t fret either. We’ll be back. In a little while. Maybe in less time than you expect.
Why? Well, we talk about that at the end of the show. But the abbreviated version: make sure you’re subscribed on iTunes or following our RSS Feed. We’ll be running some exclusive subscriber content over our break. And we’ll still be broadcasting new content on Resonance 104.4 FM.
One final note: if you’ve ever considered doing a feature for OLL now is the time to suggest it. We’ll be launching season five with a new lineup of contributors and one of them could be you. You should know the address to email by now.
Bye! And don’t forget to write,
love,
Ste, Simon and Ann

Amazing contributions this week. Can’t wait for season 5!
Comment by Jonny — March 11, 2009 @ 10:53 pmDerek’s piece is such brilliance that I’m proud for my much paltrier rap to be anywhere near his vicinity, even in the form of a link.
Good work, team. Quite looking forward to next season.
Comment by Spencer — March 11, 2009 @ 11:30 pm“Quite”!?
Comment by Simon — March 12, 2009 @ 3:09 am“We’ll be launching season five with a new lineup of contributors.”
Does that mean I’m fired?
Also thank you Spencer! I still always feel I can do better..
Comment by Derek — March 12, 2009 @ 5:38 amHas Derek got a MySpace page or a CD of his own stuff?
Comment by ShaunP — March 12, 2009 @ 7:23 amiTunes just keeps telling me that the file is corrupted or in an unrecognized format and it can’t download it. I’ll just listen on this site, but thought you might want to know in case there is a problem.
Comment by SuperPope — March 12, 2009 @ 10:06 amDamn, that spoken word track was most effective – very Ballboy-esque. Thalia (sp?) is also too good a little actress, as I was fooled for a moment or two…
See you around, folks!
Comment by Nick P — March 12, 2009 @ 10:28 amYes, “quite”, Simon.
Well, at least I was “quite” something, but then you had to go and “quite” change my mind about it. Quite.
Comment by Spencer — March 12, 2009 @ 12:12 pmJesus Derek, that’s quite unreasonably brilliant.
Comment by iainl — March 13, 2009 @ 2:12 amHey, ShaunP my Free Market Economy does have a myspace, can you guess what it is?
(Hovering over my name here might help..)
Comment by Derek — March 13, 2009 @ 2:21 amSteven Poole’s voice had turned me gay. It’s like warm treacle in my ears. oooh, dreamy!
Comment by Jonman — March 14, 2009 @ 1:53 pmThe Do You Inverts/Matthew Kumar song had me in pieces in the office. How embarrassing?!
Well done to everyone involved – where can I get an MP3 of just that?
Miss you OLL.
Comment by Leon — March 17, 2009 @ 10:52 amNever mind, found it.
Comment by Leon — March 19, 2009 @ 1:35 pmWanted to jump on the Derek love-train here. That was absolutely terrific.
