Well, I must say that I have been HYPNOTIZED all day by the 4cd set called The CONET Project Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations. This is the weirdest stuff I have ever listened to. The story goes a little like this:

For more than 30 years the Shortwave radio spectrum has been used by the worlds intelligence agencies to transmit secret messages. These messages are transmitted by hundreds of “Numbers Stations”.

Shortwave Numbers Stations are a perfect method of anonymous, one way communication. Spies located anywhere in the world can be communicated to by their masters via small, locally available, and unmodified Shortwave receivers. The encryption system used by Numbers Stations, known as a “one time pad” is unbreakable. Combine this with the fact that it is almost impossible to track down the message recipients once they are inserted into the enemy country, it becomes clear just how powerful the Numbers Station system is.

Just freaky. I recommend listening in daytime with the lights on. Here's a sample. You have been warned.

It is entrancing. Excuse me, I suddenly have to go buy a copy of Catcher in the Rye and also investigate the interconnections between several well known political figures, an actor, and recent whale strandings.

yep.
I spent the rest of the day looking over my shoulder and jumping at shadows.

Wilco, I think, is the name of the band...did a piece called Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The stole, not "sampled" (a euphemism if I ever heard one) from this work and lost the court fight. They had to pay $$ to Irdial or the holders of the rights to the work. But it did help catapult them onto a much larger platform (NPR) from which I was able to learn about them. So, it worked out in the end.

The final crushing irony is that Irdial now has this corporate stance: Irdial-Discs Embraces the Free Music Philosophy. All the music in their catalog is freely downloadable. Now, I haven't read the license agreement, so I don't know if that would have gotten Wilco off the hook, but it does mean I don't have to order the £40 4cd set from jolly old England. Yay for me.

In fact I downloaded the whole freakin package, including PDF liner notes (kind of a spooky read), from the Internet Archive. You'll have to type up your own search. Actually I think I'll post this in the Cool Site of the Day thread too.

Enjoy!

American Analog Set is really good. An ex-coworker turned me onto them. And the Postal Service, and the LLama Farmers.
Cool band names are few and far between.

House Party - Dan Zanes

This CD was a Christmas gift for the kids, but I pop it in when I'm home alone too. It's far better than the typical kid's crap out there, and it holds it's own with "adult" music.

Dan Zanes, for those who don't know, was in the Del Fuegos, he has lots of guests appear on his CDs, which are recorded in his basement studio. Bob Weir and Deborah Harry are two of the guests that appear on this one.

I'm listening to this right now:

When my belly starts a-rumblin', and I'm jonesin' for a treat.
I close my eyes for a big surprise, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, the breasts they grow on trees.
And streams of bacon ranch dressing, flow right up to your knees.
Tumbleweeds of bacon, and cheddar paves the streets.
Folks don't front ya cause ya got the juice, there's a train of ladies comin' with a nice caboose.
Never get in trouble, never need an excuse, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch no one tells ya to behave.
Your wildest fantasies come true, Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves.
Red onions make you laugh instead, and french fries grow like weeds.
Ya get to veg all day, all the lotto tickets pay.
The king who wants you to have it your way, that's the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

Now it will be stuck in your head. All day.
