SignalStation

The Signal: EP056 - Reminding those machines they work for us, damn it. Hey, folks, welcome back. We've got a brand new mix waiting for you full of everything you like about The Signal, as well as the requisite amount of stuff you don't like, just to toughen you up. Help you grow hair on your chest. Quit crying-- if the kids see you crying, they'll tear you apart. Little animals.

The file is available for an unspecified limited time. If you're curious about the tracks in the mix, I've put the track list in the id3 tags. If you're new around here, I do that so I don't have a list of tracks on my site sitting around for Google to find. These are for us. To heck with strangers using search engines. Who needs 'em.

Notes are after this jump right here -->

[The town I live in] reminds me of a desolate, winter shore town with the new jersey turnpike replacing the ocean and the entire year replacing the winter. there's closed factories, and tiny shops with random hours and motorcycles and a store that sells and i believe is run by parrots and apartment buildings that have been transported intact from 1973.

signalstation: Need a plugin that, when my programs are crashing, makes horrible hoarse panting sounds like a dying animal, so I feel pity instead of anger

godownmatthew: @signalstation that'd be so good. i'd also take 'i'm sorry i let you down, please forgive me' in my father's voice.

The setting: Golden Gate Perk

The participants: Three Michaels and my wife, running through all the jokes we know, especially the dumb ones.

Michael: How do you keep a rhino from charging?

Mikey: Take away its credit card.

Michael: I wish I had known that. My parents would still be alive.

Ace: "And my credit score would be much improved."

* Saw ABC News headline "Obama v. The Fly: 'I got the sucker'" and wondered why Obama was scrapping with Bono's mid-90s Achtung Baby persona.

* With the defensive bruises on this animated corpse's arms, I think we're dealing with more of an "angry scientist" than a "mad scientist."

* I just subscribed to the Twitter feed of the ghost that haunts my home. RT "Just totally wrote in blood all over the bedroom. BOOOooOO!"
