TTT #42: Welcome To Night Vale



I started listening to a new podcast called Welcome To Night Vale.  It is a very strange, and oddly hilarious, story telling podcast.  It is done in the sense that the podcaster is the lone radio personality of a small desert town named Night Vale.  It is clear very quickly that Night Vale is not your ordinary city.  You should listen to find out.

A quote to entice:

"I think the best way to die is to be eaten by a giant snake.  Going feet first, and whole, into a slimy maw would give your life great...symmetry."

That's just great.

Due to the rarity of some of these songs, there will not be a complete Spotifty Playlist.  If you want the whole list, 8tracks is your only bet. =)

And now...the weather...

The Dog Park


These And More Than These - Joseph Fink

There are no dogs allowed in the dog park.  There are no people allowed in the dog park.  If you see hooded figures in the dog park, do not stare.  Ignore the dog park.  There is no dog park.




The Glow Cloud


The Bus Is Late - Satellite High

All hail the glow cloud.



Station Management


Bill & Annie - Chuck Brodsky

This is one of two people on this list who think they are Bob Dylan.  I do like this song more than the other though...


*gets an envelope from under the door*



PTA Meeting


Closer - The Tiny

It's good to see the glow cloud taking part in the community.



The Shape In Grove Park


Jerusalem - Dan Bern

This guy definitely wishes he were Bob Dylan.

The shape has moved in front of the radio station, in the event you are having trouble finding this town landmark.



The Drawbridge



Aye - Dio (Not the one you'd think)

This is a German rap group, not Ronny James.

The entertainment complex does not exist.  You are hallucinating.



History Week


Despite What You've Been Told - Two Gallants

Strange to think that you reading this text right this second is now a part of the history of your life...



The Lights In Radon Canyon


This Too Shall Pass - Danny Schmidt

This is my new absolute favorite song of the moment...

Carlos was hard at work trying to discover what exactly the light above the Arby's is.  That is, until he was given a bad haircut and went missing.



PYRAMID


Last Song - Jason Webley

Get it? Because it's the last...nvm


Do not approach the pyramid.  It's progeny is upon us.



I hope you enjoyed this blog.  Short.  Night Vale.  Joseph Fink.  Genius.

KKNY signing off until next week...sleep tight...

  1. I'm listening on 8track and it's only playing the first 20 seconds of each song. It's a lovely taste, but that's a first.
