#Radio stuff

[aeolianblues]

Also! Guys I'm doing a 2004 special on my show tonight, in fact, it's not really my show anymore. We're combining two shows together to have a 3-hour chunk block of just 2004 music!

Alright, @iwilltrytobereasonable. Here's a list of some stuff that I've seen in my days in radio.

A syndicated right wing radio show sent over their tracks digitally. For a solid week they did not send the right files, and we replayed the SAME last segment over and over and over again. I told the engineers, who shrugged and said "the problem's on their end". I shrugged because I hated that show.

A radio station down the hall would go off the air at 6 PM every night because of a software glitch; as soon as ABC news started I had to bolt down the hall and hit the space bar to manually start the next block of music.

A station was hit by a bolt of lightning, the transmitter fried. It spent SIX MONTHS on the low-power backup. You couldn't get the station if you were inside a building.

You'd think that each station would have an engineer to keep them on the air, but in practice each cluster of stations in an area had one, seeing as how they were in one area. But, uh. Sometimes it wasn't even that. Sometimes you had one engineer commuting between 2-3 clusters as needed.

A remote transmitter (needed for when you were on location) had a tendency to overheat; during one concert I had to hold it against a sack of ice the entire time to keep it cool.

A hard rock station unexpectedly got two tickets to a concert last minute, and the DJ decided that the contest would be "ENTERTAIN US." You had to come to the parking lot in front of the station and do... something. We had a guy do 120 down the street in front of us doing a wheelie on a motorcycle, the same thing but also flashing us, two college girls doing a short skit ending with them making out (and for what it's worth the skit WAS actually funny), and several things that would get someone arrested if I mentioned it.

A complete hard drive crash took one station offline. We had "crash disks" - mix-tapes with station bumpers - pre-made in the event of an emergency. We ended up cycling through the three crash disks for eight hours until a backup was located and set up, and when we finally got it online we realized that it hadn't actually been backing up for months.

A country station had a series of concerts at a local amusement park. Not only did we hardly have anyone interested in tickets every single day, we ended up BEGGING people in the park to stick around for the concert and waiving the ticket cost.

More nepotism than I can shake a stick at.

I was hired for one job because a board op just... didn't show up. And I did. So I was hired.

And there's more, but... that's just what comes to mind immediately.

The old sitcom NewsRadio is not a comedy. It is a documentary.

“What do you mean the tower is gone? Are you sure you’re in the right place? I actually used more colorful words than that,” Brett Elmore recounted to NBC News. “He said there’s wires all over the ground and the tower is gone.”

Little thingy for the latest chapter of Of Saints and Sinners because it has so many scenes that are awesome for illustrating them and I wanna draw them all

And also because the fic has me in a chokehold, who am I trying to fool

@morningstarwrites is probably so tired of seeing me around but it's their fault for making me fall for these two awkward old men

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense, a promotional copy sent to us by Sire Records in 1984. Printed on the back are the credits and an FAQ about the live documentary: ‘Why Stop Making Sense? Why a movie? Why tour?’

Also included are notes to performers, with stills from the shows.

There are other notes too: work, travel, money, the future and space.

Life on Earth, living with other people, the space people, world travel, money, in the future, work, growing up.

[goldsnek]

Mixed signals! 😋

(This all started with my buddy @/K1NGKYO on X suggesting Al's first sentence and we had fun with it o´∀`o )

[allastoredeer]

Alastor 3/4 (right) expression sheet.

I’m gonna make a 3/4 (left), profile, front, and back sheet too. There might be another sheet or two of the 3/4 right because I have a lot of screenshots and I like all his silly little expressions ❤️

(I want to do this for all the characters, but WOOF, it’s a lot of work so it might take a while).

Here’s my Masterpost where I have more character drawing guides and resources!
