Things that are archaic

[glatt]

It would be cool if the old radios picked up old radio stations. Seems abhorrent to use a beautiful old radio like that antique to pick up the local shock jock's stupid banter and the sidekick's moronic and sycophantic laughter.

I haven't tried it in a while, but it gets shortwave.

I remember playing with it in my parent's basement, and getting old shows like "The Shadow Knows." So, somewhere, they were doing the old radio shows and we picked them up. Unless we really went back in time a la Twilight Zone.

My brother's satellite radio in his auto gets some classic radio shows, there's a station for them. You could hook that up, but it would sound too "clear" probably.

Yeah, it would be cool if they were twilight zone-y and would only play vintage radio. I've often thought about finding an old carcass and fitting it with a bose machine or some such. Then I could play the Pennies From Heaven soundtrack on a continuous loop.

No, that would not be cool. Ten points off Gryffindor.

Do not put you faith in supernatural phenomenon unless you can be sure what power is behind it and whether it has your best interests at heart.

Crikey people, didn't you learn anything from Christine?

Don't hold back, Glatt. Tell us how you feel.
