Hahahaha hi Costanza

Gnome seein?

Awwwww YEAHHHHHHHH!!!

lol on Georgie

Gnome sayin? - Reggie Watts

Riff comin back, slower

"Naam saying?" - J to the R.O.C straight out of Sunnyvale

What game u playing

omg I'm playing Hollow Knight now!

congrats!

OOH. I heard that's a great one. Metroidvanias not really my thing though.

Tomi yes!!! I have like 100 hours in the game lol, I started playing a few years ago

Yeah TAndy! my Gnome Seein' was a nod to J Roc of Beyond the Trailer Pale fame

Had put it down for a while but picked it back up to finish all the little things I hadn't completed yet

>:)

TAndy I wasn't too familiar with the genre, didn't play metroid growing up, but this one is *chef's kiss*

it's such a huge game, I'm only 20 hours in

It really is, difficult too!

Cap! Hello!

Hello Jon!

I am to remind you about PHP dude

Ha! He has COVID presently so I am giving him a bit of time before I text him about this!

That is fair

Stream sounds much better today. Make any changes?

I'll check in at week's end. Remind me then?

I did try turning off some effects I had from USB mic days, glad to hear it sounds better, however I still have latency which is part of why I upgraded in the first place so I'm still testing things

Ahh I see

The atmosphere this intro is setting up.....

Holy hell

Yeah that build up was nice, and I like they kept the creep when it dropped

SEND IT

I'm going to need to know what he's screaming.

ok I think I figured out my latency issue but it's not something I should try adjusting during my show lol, next week! third time's the charm

Best of luck! I assume it's Windows related?

Love this band name

I'm on a mac, when I switched to a focusrite I kept most of my old settings in the software I used, but I realized now I need to tweak things since I now have direct monitoring

should be an easy fix

just dragging some blocks around

@Jason:

Nachtland Ogentroost Een nieuwe oogst De lente is nabij De donkere hand Aangetast Het nieuwe land De stilte nooit voorbij Hart slag Slag veld Ik werd verwacht Het is volbracht Gewijde grond ontlijkt Verkracht, het is volbracht Ik werd verwacht Hart slag Slag ader De vader berust en Stelt hen wel gerust En welterust Hartslag De hartslag versnelt De moeder haar gezicht Ten gronde gericht Haar armen geheven De hemel verlicht Het kind dat ze baarde Zag ze nooit meer terug Mijn knoken Gebroken Ik sta

lol

Haha...

In English: nightland Eyebright A new crop Spring is near The dark hand Affected The new country The silence never ends Heartbeat battlefield I was expected It's finished Sacred ground uncovered Raped, it's done I was expected Heartbeat Stroke vein The father resigns and Reassure them And good night Heartbeat The heartbeat speeds up The mother's face Ruined Her arms raised The sky lights up The child she gave birth Never saw them again my fight Broken I'm here for you Broken Forever Lost

oh all the line breaks disappeared, boo

Time to pick up the kid from musical rehearsal. Please be playing something especially brutal when I pull into the parking lot.

lol Jon

nice transition from that AMENRA to this BBBW

lol Jon, I think this is my heaviest set! though I got some sleep-esque tunes coming up

The mother's face Ruined /Her arms raised /The sky lights up / The child she gave birth /Never saw them again ...pretty creepy, but great song.

Sounds like the stutters are back. Anyone else hearing them on streaming? Not sure if it's my headphones or something else on my end.

:( :( :( whyyyyyy

I'll see if it's on FM when I get back to the car in a bit. My phone battery is low so it may be me

FM sounds good

I hear it online, intermittently, it's pretty subtle.

I'll try stream

yeah, it's on the stream, but not FM

Streamguys pls

ok if that's the case then I'm off the hook!

oh maybe now I'm hearing it on FM too

yeah it's a bit janky on FM here and there as well

Switched from web player to VLC, still hearing it

It only started on the song before this so maybe it's the audio clipping?

Mountain of Chill VS Mountain Lightning

In the parking lot. Got a little bit of stammering while the music played but almost none (with one minor exception) while you were talking.

I heard it a bit during the mic break on stream.

Car stereo, not streaming.

Also hearing pops on the stream, and just as I was typing this a few blank pauses

And the stutters are all gone as of the sending of this message. All of it!

Seconded. One longer pause (still less than a second) and then clear presently.

Whatever you did fixed it Captain. O captain my captain.

... why is there a Heritage's bag up here in the bush all the way here in Bordentown

i have literally not done anything lol

It seems like an isp issue then :(

ugh I don't know, I'm on ethernet, excellent upload and download speeds

It's been clear for the past 4 minutes, so all good now.

The fact you're running Ethernet direct to the router rules out any network interference between your computer and the router. The fact that it just stopped after some pauses points to possible ISP drudgery. Who is your ISP?

good question! I do not know, I just pay whatever my housemate says the bills come to, but I recall seeing verizon mail at some point

Verizon moment.

Verizon is pretty solid though so it's very odd for it to be on their end.

hate to say it but I've heard some intermittent stutters

*still

Yah same. Definitely not as disruptive as the last show though.

ok ive swapped back to old mic, curious to see if that fixes thingss

Really digging this da captain trips track. Too bad they spelled math wrong

Chiming in late to say Iowa indeed rocks their own Moscow. So they come by Radio Moscow honestly.

Still hearing pops and stutters

Hey Peter and Toni!

Gonna hit the road now, but I'll be tuned in still!

ok well in that case I'll drop the bitrate down for next week, I dont it warrants cutting the stream today to lower it mid-broadcast

*don't think

Makes sense! I think I saw on some other chat this week that Mike told that DJ to lower their outgoing bitrate to 128? Maybe that's the magic number or something...

yeah, 320 is the best possible if your setup can handle it, then lower if not, im at 256 currently

but I have been all year

so just annoying that this is a new problem

community radio!

Well,

this rules.

hope the soundtrack for picking up the kid was heavy enough!

Haha maths is not nice

As always, I just smiled and nodded and quietly panicked.

lol hey Mike

Hey! Now if you'd said "pedagogical" when I saw you this weekend, I would've self-immolated. (I hate the way that word makes me feel like I am about to choke on my own tongue.)

oh no! we throw that word around here a lot, maybe too much, something something did the kids actually learn anything grumble grumble

I have no quarrel with the meaning, it's just one of those words that creeps me out.

I wont tell anyone else about your kryptonite

Just everyone in this chat

I've only noticed one disruption of maybe 4 seconds

Thanks Rob! Do you remember when that was? I was messing around while hte stream was live and one point I think I moved something to the wrong spot, I wonder if it was then

About 30 minutes ago

Hey Captain, back for a bit. Some minor pops happening still, had a few momentary pauses at some points in the past half hour. No time frame given though. If I'm able to record the stream next week I'll be able to give timestamps if it happens again.

Thanks TAndy, I'm lower the bitrate for next week, I don't think there's much else I can do for now, let's hope that does it!

Frustrating but these things happen, thanks for keeping me informed

Even if your stream suddenly developed a reverb that sounded like it was being recorded in a sewer, I think we would all still listen.

(drain gang)

Sewer Cruising

Ooh hell yeah. Death metal cover of the sewer level song from Crash Bandicoot 2 🤘

It's like some video game OST is just made to get a metal cover

Protip: had to lookup “swarmgaze” to find the right swarm on bandcamp. Finland-based, not Florida like another Swarm

@Captain Ahab, I don't remember, sorry.

Thanks Tomi! And no worries Rob fingers crossed for next week

LOUD.

WHAT?

CHOCLATES!!

YES PLEASE

I'm hearing some crackles right now, for the past 20 seconds

I hope next week is better, Captain!

Mmm, chocolate...

Oh wow. Never thought I'd hear Toro y Moi on the show.

I know right!

I was pretty surprised by this new track

I also LOVE UMO so it was a delight

I didn't even know the album released two weeks ago. I know what I'm listening to later.

I thought a little light interlude would be nice

Did you read how Kikagaku Moyo said this record will be their last?

Yeah :(

They're playing in Boston this weekend, I should go

No assurance they'll pull an LCD Soundsystem and be back in less than five years.

Haha and that's ok too!

I approve this album cover

bongbongbeerwizard might be the best band name, but stöner gets points for simplicity

Thanks for the show Captain! It was so much fun today

We enjoyed this show, Captain. Thanks!

Here! Here! Great show Cap'n!!

Thanks team!

Hey Richard!

Catch you guys next week, fingers crossed no more stream issues

BAM
