I'm not a fan of the weather. I thought the conceit was funny as hell in the first episode, but then...not so much.

The weather seems like a really clever way to get people to listen to indie bands, though. You can't FF because you don't know the length of the song, and it doesn't occur at the same time in every broadcast.

It is annoying if the song sucks, but otherwise I treat it like a commercial and do other things for a few minutes.

Timelies all!

Grocery run today, though it will be small. Later, a memorial service for a local fan who died a few weeks ago. (Marty Gear, if anyone is familiar with him. He was a big costumer, and ran the Balticon masquerade for many years. We'll miss you, Uncle Vlad.)

Actually, there was one that I *really* liked, so I shouldn't grumble so much -- "I Know This," by Rachel Kann, in the Feral Dogs episode.

There's one song that someone posted to tumblr, Closer by The Tiny, without saying that it (probably) came from WtNV, that I liked enough to buy the whole album. So when I finally started listening to WtNV, I was so surprised for a few seconds when the song played in one episode. (Until I figured out that's where OP probably heard it.)

I often listen to the first bit of the song, and the skip the rest.

Yeah, I have often not been a particularly big fan of The Weather, but there have been a few I have liked, and would purchase if I had money to spend.

I kind of wish they were more often thematically appropriate to the ep.

I am almost caught up, and, thus far, many things and people have had multiple mentions. Given that they're using some outside writers, it would not surprise me if that happens more going forward, since it's a very fannish thing to do.

Fay just posted this fan-made trailer for Welcome to Night Vale on Facebook: [link] Synchronicity!

t edit The casting of the Apache Tracker (that asshole) made me laugh FOREVER.

Also, the movie "Thor" looks pretty fucking ominous when scenes are pulled out of context.

Even though I recognized a lot of those scenes, they worked beautifully in their new context. I also love the casting for Cecil (although my One True Casting remains Danny Pudi).

I picture Cecil as Frasier-era David Hyde Pierce.

That's one of the great things about an audio-only production - the head-casting opportunities are endless.

And yes, I could see DHP working quite well.

Burrell- that sounds like a horrible day.

I think I need to start listening to this Nighvale thing, huh?

I was a little troubled by how much I liked Blurred Lines, but now it has been pointed out that it sounds just like a Marvin Gaye song.
