Picked up one of those cheap FM transmitters for my car, my car isn't new enough to have a deck that has an audio-in or a USB port for phones and media players. Listening to Night Vale with the low hum of white noise and intermittent static adds another layer to the experience.

I remember when this thread first popped up over a year ago but I finally got around to listening in the past few weeks and this is great stuff. My wife and I listened to a bunch of episodes on our last long car ride and "...no wait, concern" quickly became a shared joke.dj_clawson posted:Wow, there sure are a lot of teenage girls dressing up like Cecil in front of their computers and guilting their tannest female friends into making out with them. You have me seriously pining now for an alternate reality that can never be.

Ive been on and off this podcast for a while now. It still has this similarity to me of Americans trying to do Monty Python jokes, but instead of M.P. its Art on C2C, original Twilight Zone, The Forbidden Files, some Arthur C Clark series I saw as a kid and maybe some other classic stuff I forget. Its good, its made well, and fun, and Im enjoying it more for what it is, I think. Only up to Ep 24. Weather Report is a bit...meh, though the music isnt bad, just kinda sticks out - is that the point? Also theres usually a bit of a volume difference. Can the chosen artists at least be a track with a very slight black or weird twist? Or be even slightly relevant? Rapman the Cook fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Sep 24, 2013 |

Just accepting that the weather report in Night Vale really IS done via song made a huge difference in my enjoyment.

My wife has taken to using Welcome to Night Vale to get to sleep every night. Something about Cecil's voice just knocks her right out. That said, she does often get woken up by the weather, so she's not so big a fan of that.

I always thought of it as sort of an in-joke by Cecil, since a desert community probably doesn't need much of a weather update beyond "hot as balls, dry." So he plays a song instead.

If you really don't like the weather, you can edit it out with a simple sound-editing program. That said, I like it. Edit: I don't actually recommend doing this, but if you really hate it go ahead I guess. Action Yak fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Sep 24, 2013 |

iostream.h posted:I didn't like the weather at first either until the suggestion was made that I view it as a weather report interpreted by modern dance sort of thing, and that really did help. Pretty much this. I tried explaining to a coworker that the weather (in my mind) actually is a completely accurate representation of the weather for that week in Night Vale, we simply don't have the right mindset, the right ears, to understand it. He just kind of stared at me.

Awesomonster posted:The last time is Atoms, Motion, and the Void, which I've been wanting to recommend to anyone who loves Welcome to Night Vale for a while. Its hard to describe, but mainly its a man named Sherwin Sleeves telling unusual stories about his life, and its genuinely beautiful and funny and strange. My favorite episode is 6, The Pennbennies. If you start on episode 1 and are having a hard time getting into it, I generally recommend to start on episode 3 (though episode 2 has the Bowl-a-Mat which I think is brilliant), since that's when it really finds its voice, so to speak. I can't say enough nice things about it, if you like odd short stories and Tom Waits-like voices then please check it out. The best time to listen is late at night, which is why it reminds me a bit of Welcome to Night Vale. Also, when you said "The last time" did you mean the last time a podcast wasn't boring or the last time you paid for one? If I have to shell out cash to listen at some point or another I'm gonna be annoyed. maxnmona posted:What is out: Kate Leth of Kate or Die designed us Scout Rank emblems and they are awesome http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=TO&Category_Code=CPB Rapman the Cook posted:Weather Report is a bit...meh, though the music isnt bad, just kinda sticks out - is that the point?

So, slighty off-topic, but the NY Neo-Futurist website makes it slightly unclear as to who the cast is in their current show. Does it rotate every week? Because I'm not buying a ticket if Jeffrey or Cecil isn't in it.

Cecil is currently performing the show in San Francisco, along with Meg, the voice of the credits. But it's an awesome show, you should go see it. It probably still has a couple Jeffrey-written plays in it since he just left.

There will likely be some tickets for tonight's San Francisco shows released around 12:30 today as we have less comps than we thought we would. I'm going to release them here 10 minutes before I release them on twitter so you can have a fighting chance.

 I want you guys to do more limited edition t-shirts. I have to admit, I was very VERY tempted to get this Scorpions team tee off Redbubble, but I wanted to support y'all. (Please get that tee and license it or something so I won't feel guilty about buying it)

Honestly, this is why it's usually good to follow devoted reblogging tumblrs instead of the fan artists themselves. Most of the communities keep it work safe or have a tag you can blacklist (if you're not using XKit to browse tumblr you need to go get it like, now, and add the blacklist extension) so you don't have to see the porn. Oz posted:Currently I'm only following "fyeahnightvale", "theshapefromgrovepark", "darkowlrecords", and "streetcleaningday" which are pretty good WTNV art aggregates, and I haven't seen them reblog any NSFW ones. fuckyeahwelcometonightvale, which is different from fyeahwelcometonightvale (fyeah deleted a week or two ago). I also like to follow http://cecilsofcolour.tumblr.com/ and http://equal-rep-night-vale.tumblr.com/ for more diversity in the fanart. *edit* Just saw this come across my dash, published today, the Idea Channel - How Does Night Vale Confront Us With the Unknown?

Hopefully there aren't too many crazy fans at the 10pm showing. That's interesting. They vanished the moment I put it on twitter, but I guess someone changed their mind during checkout. Looks like still a couple tickets on the late show are still there.

It makes me mad too, but I also think it's kind of cool in a way, to see people who dig this that much that they're making more art for it but on the OTHER hand, I totally hate that they're ripping you guys off. I really DID like that t-shirt too, but I didn't feel right buying it, so I didn't.

It is amazingly crowded inside Booksmith's tonight. Doubt I'll be able to get a glimpse of Cecil  Edit: that was an incredibly eventful episode of WTNV. I'm assuming you guys plan on monetizing it by selling it on iTunes or something, but if not, I made a decent recording starting a few seconds in that I'd be willing to share. I saw more than a few people doing video recordings so I'm sure those will find their way onto the internet somehow, but it seemed proper to ask here first.
