Pick Up Starting

"Pick Up Starting" was recorded on 68th Street and National Avenue in West Allis, WI.


LISTEN HERE!

^---My notes.---^


In this recording you can clearly the sounds of a dying pick up truck engine attempting to start after a man has slammed the door shut. There is a lot of chatter in the background which came from a rummage sale on the opposite side of the street. A small girl can be heard briefly talking to her baby sister who simply makes verbal diarrhea in response. I believe the sounds at the end (which sound like thuds) are the sounds of someone loading a car up with picture frames they had just bought at the rummage sale.


At first, I was simply going to record the rummage sale, but then the pick up sounded so nice that I chose to use that sound instead. As the pick up drives off its breaks kind of screech a bit, then its rumble fades away. The sound of the rummage sale chatter takes over and eventually fades as well.
