This weeks winner is "Skull Snaps - Skull Snaps".

Like it was anounced many moons ago, this will be the last Album Stream as we know it.
Both streams will be merged into one and in the future it will happen on Sunday at 16:00 Germany time (time can still change in the future).

The following Albums have beed added to the poll:

Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies (Their firt nameworthy release where they are still Punk and not Metal)
Suicidal Tendencies - Still Cyco After All These Years (A remake of Suicidal Tendencies they made in their Metal days)
Both Suicidal albums will be played as a double feature since they're around 1 hour long when taken together.

Gorillaz - Demon Days (Not my favorite Gorillaz album but still nice to listen to)

Peter Tosh - Bush Doctor (One of the best Peter Tosh albums out there)

Twista - Runnin' Off at da Mouth (At that time actally still Tung Twista and world record holder for being the fastest rapper)

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10604882

For the last time we start at 12:00CET.

>Snoop Dogg

Going live in ~5 minutes with a show that's all about exploring the Australian psyche. Be sure to tune in.

>>46483
I'll be there!

Alright, let's fucking go. Beware, might be loud as fuck but I have it loud and trust those who want it quieter to not be retarded and turn it down for themselves. Easier than trying to amp up something that's too quiet on the source end when you think it's a banger.

I'd just like to confirm that my stream is on 16:00 CEST / GMT+2, which is 2 hours from now.

>>46487
Looks like it. Posting the schedule again for convenience too.

>>46487
Yep, it is! Maybe we should use GMT next time when there are so many international streamers involved. Probably easier for everyone, since it's also /int/ time.

I also was thinking if it is good to have small breaks between the streams. My first thought was that everything should be as seamless as possible, so that the listening experience won't be interrupted, but maybe a few short breaks (10mins or so) are actually good, to take a piss, to get some food or whatever, without missing anything. What do you guys think? If we ever do something like that again, what is the better option:

1. Plan for continuous streaming
2. Plan with breaks

>>46491
I like breaks. Could put elevator music on or some shit :-DDD

Forgot to post in the thread, but better late than Never :D. Maybe Elvis, Maybe Not(but definitely some Elvis) is Live now.

>>46493
Loved the broad variety of cover styles!

>>46495
Thank you. I wanted to get a wide variety, but still tried to avoid any jarring switches between genres. The result was a mix that leaned toward the faster Elvis songs, as well as punk/psychobilly covers.

If you want to call into my show when it starts, here's a discord link to the channel where I'll be accepting the calls:
https://discord.gg/WQYaCk

If there's more than one caller (unlikely), we will figure out the order of callers right in the chat.

Also, current stream is tight as fuck.
Love them 16 bit tracker sounds.

Is this outlast?

>>46502
There was Out Run - Magical Sound Shower just a few minutes ago.

>>46503
Yes, outrun, outlast, always confuse the two.
Great tune.

Another SID masterpiece.

My stream is starting approx now.

>while you are listening to the music, I get kicked out of my apartment

That is sad but also funny!

>>46506
Based Jeroen Tel!

I hear rosegum but not the brickster. So only one .... ah, there he is!

Those already were some pretty serious discussions. Nothing less had to be expected.

>>46515
Dang, now I feel like I missed something important.

>>46516
i's ok, it's being recorded/

>>46517
Excellent, you can use some memes and slogans in the future.

https://mega.nz/file/1RYn2Q4C#YpjUx7UeRDsGD51iZlp4v2LXzYHhAZZZbcDoHTNXB0U
here's a recording of my stream.
Super rough cleanup, so forgive the noise and stuff. Maybe I'll clean it up better later.

>>46531
Got it, thanks!

I fell asleep a bit before Iwan came on to Brickscast but it was a good day all up, had lots of fun.

>>46531
I missed those voices during the RPG session in the morning, man. Thanks for recording it, I'll try to find the time to listen to it in my ipod during my upcoming hiking-vacation, if I can manage to take my headphones with me, that is (they are rather spacious and would take up part of my travelling bagpack).

>>46538
I've spent this morning working on a solution for such occurrences in the future. When it's matured a bit, I'll talk about it in the tabeltop gaming thread.

For everyone who couldn't be with us, and for everyone who wants to repeat the torture: Here are the recordings of the Radio Ernstiwan Birthday Marathon. All streams have been captured, but there were a few issues:

1. The first stream (weekly album stream) only starts at minute 22, because I forgot to press record. Not that big of a problem, since it was the full album Offspring - Americana, so you simply can reconstruct it on youtube. More important: DJ Ulle has been captured in full glory!
2. During Prostmusik, I couldn't record my own calls, since in the heat of the moment I could only record either stereomix or my mic, but not both, so those parts (1:20h) are missing ;_;
3. Bricks stream is the only one in ogg format, because it's his recording and not mine, because mine would have been fucked up again, reason: see 2.
4. At the very beginning of Alt's stream my mixxx blew up in my face and I had to restart, so the first few minutes are quite chaotic. After that, it was fine.
5. We splitted Alt's playlist, because we were behind schedule on sunday evening, but we also didn't want to leave anything out. So there are two parts of Alt: 1:45h before and 1:15 after Kosmonauten.
6. I might have switched out one of Alt's songs in the second part with a very badly produced german song by a guy who shouldn't ever be allowed to sing. So don't blame Alt when you encounter it :DD

Here's the link, all in all 1,09GB: https://mega.nz/file/EFFlDarS#AM9QOUT1hALPCsyQKfuID7D87kmdAhJtia3Ao7i0SSY

>>46480
Small reminder that you can still vote if you didn't do already.

https://poll.fm/10604882

>>46480
Because of a little timing issue the stream will happen 1 hour early today.
So we start at 15:00 Germany time.

This weeks winner is "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication".
In the poll it will be replaced by the Album where The Who really sold out, "The Who - The Who Sell Out".
Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10608203

The stream is going to start 15:00 Germany time

>>46628
Small reminder that you can still vote if you didn't do already.

https://poll.fm/10608203

Gonna do a stream either tomorrow or sunday, that is just a playlist of Ween covering other peoples' music. Should be fun.
Not sure what exact time, probably around the time of the other streams so I can poach capitalize on the viewership.

Just now for an hour old electronic music. Afterwards another episode of Prostmusik with illustrious guests and modern electronic music.

Prostmusik is live!

Should we switch to english?

>>46756
So be it.

Streamin some Hip Hop.
Atmosphere - God loves ugly
Atmosphere - Seven's Travels

Maybe more let's see

Gonna stream at least one more Album. Also a Rhymesayers release from the early 2000's
If you liked the stream so far I'd suggest checking out newer Atmosphere releases too. Slug is one of the few Rappers from back then who still releases good stuff.
Fun Fact: Tom Waits beatboxed on one of their songs.

Next up:
Sage Francis - A healthy distrust

Gonna continue with that altrap.
Aesop Rock - None shall pass

Okay one more
El-P - I'll sleep when you're dead

One last album before the ween stream:
cLOUDDEAD - Ten

Based War Pigs cover!

Todays winners are "Suicidal Tendencies" und "Still Cyco After All These Years" from Suicidal Tendencies which we play as double feature.

New in the poll: "Hypercaffium Spazzinate" and "I Don't Want To Grow Up" by the Descendents. As well a double feature.

Next weeks poll://poll.fm/10611752

Stream starts at 16:00 Germany time, pre-stream is already going.

FYI: Fixed some minor things on the stats page: The sorting on the streamer view was faulty, and I joined the entries for "stream" and "stream.ogg", so "stream" has a few hours more now.

I have the intent of streaming the NOFX - Backstage Passport DVD via Discord tomorrow at around 18:00 Germany time.
If someone is interested please let me know, otherwise i just pretend that i never had this idea.
In case i stream the bonus material as well that would bring us to around 8 hours of content.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sju5aO4UPC0

Some ebin trolling going on at the public stream. Damn, this is bad. That means I have to open the statistics database in a hex editor and manually flip the bits to clear the troll stream data, because that is how databases work. I will probably be busy for several long, painful hours seconds.

I'll stark working on that immediatly, and by immediatly I mean that I will wait until he put some more effort into it.

>>46914

>ebin trolling going on at the public stream

<when the board you wanna troll is so small that nobody reacts to it :DDDDD

>>46899
Starting in 45min on Discord.
Depending on the interest i will stop after 1 episode or keep going, we'll see.

Gonna stream Air - Moon Safari in 8 Minutes

Todays winners are "Hypercaffium Spazzinate" und "I Don't Want To Grow Up" by the Descendents which we play as double feature.

New in the poll: "Propaghandi - How To Clean Everything"

Next weeks: https://poll.fm/10615390

Stream starts at 16:00 Germany time, which is in a little bit over an hour from now.
Pre-Stream will probably start a bit later than usual because i have to do something our tribe calls "Kehrwoche". Which is kinda fitting to the title of the new album in the poll.

>>46914
I'm glad that my testing of foo_vorbisstream has yielded results to the point of getting two whole listeners.

>>46999
Holy shit, it's you? We actually thought it was some guy trying to spam the statistics frontpage, but then we noticed that the songs are actually decent and that it's no trolling, and now I'm listening whenever I catch it :DDD

Thanks for the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack. Lovely organ play full of turmoil. The movie is online as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6-K-arVl-U

>>47002
That's not the usual aussie.
t. my ISP having ans stroke again

Just now streaming 3 hours of wave and dark wave and some goth rock. Finally overcame technical issues and stream stabilized.

Some electronic Stuff till 10pm

Hoping to increase the number of listeners the time of future album streams (including the next one) will be moved to 19:00 Germany time.

If you didn't vote yet:

https://poll.fm/10615390

Streaming the new four tet album now

Next up: The new Pantha du Prince album

Next up: Tourist - Everyday

Now playing: Shlohmo - Heaven Inc.

Gonna do a stream today. Probably after whatever stream's on this evening again. If there's any.

I have two things prepared, feel free to vote on which one sounds better:
Hipster thrash metal (warning, harsh vocals)
Sad, whiny songs about unrequited love and other sad things (warning: super whiny)

>>47088
alternatively I could do it a few hours before the weekly album stream, whichever's more convenient. gonna have to hash this one out.

>>47088

>Sad, whiny songs about unrequited love and other sad things

I vote for this.

>>47091
aight.
ok, my memory's playing tricks on me, so I can't quite remember.
Have I ever streamed anything by okkervil river or frightened rabbit?

It feels like I have, but I might have just imagined it.

>>47088
I'll go with the hipster thrash metal option! In case of a tie I suggest going with the vote by >>47091 because it was first, and because it's probably what more people can relate to.

>>47093
Well, there's still 3 hours til the weekly stream (I think? timezones are confusing), so I could probably squeeze a thrash metal album in there.

>>47096

>Well, there's still 3 hours til the weekly stream (I think?

Yes, I think so. But also:

>timezones are confusing

So I could also be wrong.

>>47099
Aight, I'll stream just one album before the weekly stream, as a taster. It's 35 minutes long.
If the weekly stream starts sooner, I'll stop mine.

Todays winneris "Radiohead - Radiohead - OK Computer" - A great album, i'm sure you will enjoy.
New in the poll: "Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes "

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10620135

Stream starts at 19:00 Germany time, which is in a little bit over half an hour from now.

for posterity

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

>>47105
Next album is Vektor - Terminal Redux.
Tech thrash space opera.

>>47103
Oi, I missed the stream, but the album cover is so damn cool that I had to checked out the music and then I had to come back here to thank you. Good stuff.

Eddie van Halen died, so I will make a Van Halen-stream tomorrow at 17:00UTC.

Will be streaming Horror Punk and Psychobilly music from now on for 5 hours. In between any moment one hour a german radio play for an hour. In case you wonder. It is about the man in the attached pic.

>>47255
You want one of my selfmade lampshades? :DDDDD

I gave a presentation about this guy in english class, 9th grade or so

>>47256
Nah, I'll got with one of those funny masks.

Now onwards with the music.

Time to fill the void with some austrian instrumental Hip Hop
Brenk Sinatra & Fid Mella - Chop Shop 2 - Singende klingende Unterwelt.
Starting in about 10 Minutes.

Todays winner is "Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes"

To avoid the newest album being the winner every week, we will have a load of new albums every few weeks instead of one new album weekly from now on.

We start 19:00 Germany time, which is in around 1 hour and 20 min from now.

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10624857

To find the perfect stream time we will move the stream to saturday 18:00 Germany time. Starting next week.

Gonna play some Vinyl starting in 1 hour. There will be Jazz and maybe Rock and Blues but I will just pick some Vinyl randomly and play at least one song.

>>47420
Do you stream with Mixx?

I streamed some Vinyl a while ago but used Butt, now i plan to do it again but want to use Mixx. Just don't know what's the best way to do so.

>>47421
I use Butt. Never tried Mixx.
Not sure what the best way is but this setup works fine for me.

Okay we played all of that too slow so far but damn it sounded so good.

Time for some reggea with todays winner, "Peter Tosh - Bush Doctor"

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10629947

We start 18:00 Germany time which is in around 1 hour from now.
Join the chat and listen to the pre-stream.

I hope this doesn't conflict with any existing schedule.
At 16:00 GMT+0 (which is approx 2 hours from now), I will be streaming a horror movie on the RE discord.
I have Devil's Rejects (trashy serial killer flick), Exorcist 3 (very slow), The Fly (needs no introduction) and Videodrome (another Cronenberg body horror)
Feel free to express your preference in response to this post, since I couldn't find a javascript-free poll making website.

>>47467
watched Exorcist 3 all by myself's.
Fantastic movie that is unfortunately hurt by having to be tied to the Exorcist franchise.
Works well as a standalone movie anyway, though.

I'll be streaming some classy tunes to get drunk to at 00:00 UTC+3 (which is Istanbul/Moscow time zone).

Feel free to get a drink and give me some company. Nothing spectacular, mostly slow Blues, some Jazz and Soul might be thrown in as well.

>>47476
To ruin get into the vibe I'll stream some cheesy power metal until 21:00UTC 23:00 UTC+2 00:00 UTC+3 then.

>>47476
We're live

>>47476
Great stream, thanks!

This weeks winner is "Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?"

Next weeks poll can be found here:
https://poll.fm/10636456

We start at 18:00 Germany time which is in around 1,5 hours from now.

KLF - Chill Out
Grobschnitt - Solar Music I&II
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

>>47646
I'm listening.

Since I believe CEST has been changing clocks an hour backwards today to CET, we'll start the show one hour later than we did last week.

Blues, Jazz and generally chill tunes to end the weekend and get mentally prepared for the week to come.

We're live

>>47691
Great show, thanks!

>>47485
>>47697
you're welcome

also, pic related the playlist I promised to upload this time

I need your opinion. I was asked if we can have notifications when a stream goes live. I think this is feasible via an RSS-Feed. I'd create a file on the server when a stream goes live and you could read that file with the RSS reader of your choice. I tried that out with a manually created file and my cell phone, that would likely work. I'd integrate the necessary code into the statistics module, because that already runs every 5 minutes and has access to the stream data.

I wanted to ask you what would be a sensible way to create the notifications. Should it be created as soon as a new stream goes live? That would be simple to implement, but it would also mean a notification for each test stream. Or I could generate it after the second or third time I see the same stream running? That would reduce the teststream alerts, but it would also delay the notification. If the notification is generated after the 3rd time the stream was visible, that would mean an average delay of 2,5 minutes until the first occurence + 10 minutes until the 3rd, plus on average 50% of the poll interval of your reader, that seems to be quite a lot.

There are also other options: We could define that all streams that contain the word "-test-" or something like this don't create a new feed. But that wouldn't help if someone is trying to troll us and is creating new streams all the time. We could also say that only the public stream doesn't create a message, but right now the public stream is also used by regular streamers, so in that case everyone should have their personal account first.

What do you think is the most sensible way of implementing this?

>>47768
To keep it simple I would create a notification as soon as a stream goes live, but also add a feature which blocks notifications for any stream with the word " test ".

As long as it won't disrupt my audiobook stream of the Old TESTament :D

Prostmusik will start 17:55 mesz
I'm gonna stream the new Autechre Album "Sign" and after that the electro playlist I made for october.
Gonna be in the chat too.

>>47775
Yeah, that sounds sensible, thanks for the input. I had another idea in the meantime: I could limit notifications for a specific streamer to for example 1 per hour, so that the same streamer wouldn't spam the feed if he starts new streams, let it be by accident or (bad) intentions. I think this goes together well with the "test" block. In that case, notifications would be fast, but still kinda safe.

>>47779
But what is if someone does two different, serious streams after another?
Like the best stream we have on the radio, The Weekly Album Stream, often ends the stream after the pre-stream and then starts a new one.
How about that?

I'll mess around with the stats module for a while to test the RSS stuff I've written. Streams will work normally in the meantime, but stat tracking might act funny. I'll post when I'm done.

>>47785
Would be fine I think, since one notification will be generated, so everyone will know that the undoubtedly best stream ever is live. We also could change the threshold to 30 minutes for example. In this case both streams would create a new notification.

It is done. The following has implemented by our stronk force of socialist code worker monkeys:

If a new stream goes live, there is a check if there is either the word "test" (not case sensitive) in the stream name (the description isn't evaluated) and another check if there has been a feed notification for the current streamer in the last 30 minutes. If both conditions are NOT met, an update for the rss feed is created. The feed is a flat xml file which should be readable from any RSS capable application. I myself tested it from my cell phone using an Android App called "RSS Reader" and got it to work. The link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.madsvyat.simplerssreader&hl=en_US&gl=US

The feed itself is located at http://radio.ernstchan.xyz/feed.xml - this is the URL you have to add to your reader. I also added an RSS link to the radio status page - but that just displays the xml file instead of triggering my app, right now no idea why, so you might have to add the above link manually. The length of the feed is 1, so if there is a new stream and then another new stream befoer you polled the other one, you won't get a notification for it. That's because it was much easier to rewrite the whole file instead of juggling with old entries.

The feed just contains the UTC date it was found, the name of the streamer, a direct link to the stream (which has a 99.9% probability of being wrong) and the stream description. Obviously, this is a cutting edge alpha version and I'd be surprised if it works as intended. So please report any unusual behaviour in the thread. Also please be aware that the settings of your RSS reader are also a factor, especially the update interval.

At the moment it contains an old entry of Prostmusik which I used for testing. This should be overwritten when a new stream goes online, so feel free to try it out.

Seems to work! Still, my app only displays the alert when I press the wake up-button on my phone. But that is most likely a local configuration issue of either the RSS app or my phone, the feed itself looks good.

This weeks winner is "Propagandhi - How To Clean Everything"

Sunday night, comfy time.
Blues and Jazz on radio.ernstchan.xyz

Not into blues at all, but I'll take a closer look at Johnny Cash discography thanks to this track. Off to beda, but I'll try to poke in more often. Good night

>>47873
good night Ernst. thanks for joining us anyway.

Great stream, I'm enjoying it!

Today at 18:00UTC there will be a power metal stream, featuring Grave Digger. Most songs will be from the period from Heart of Darkness (1995) to Excalibur (1999).

Fuck it. Gonna do a short stream in a few, music probably representative of the state of my brain today.

>>47996
Oh, and in case people are actually enjoying themselves. Album is pic related.

>>47996
Aah, saturday noon, beautiful weather, time to go out and for Radio Ernstiwan! Also: [ad]RSS really does it's job. No way I'll ever again miss a stream, unless I'm not home.[/ad]

>>47998
Sun is shining, birds are singing. Time for some Beatdown fueled by cold (also dark) East Germany :-DDD

>>47997
Thanks, I thought the stream description was in reference to your state of mind, but it's just the band's name. My gym doesn't open for another 45 minutes, and some rage music is perfect to fill that gap.

>>48000
Band is Words of Concrete. May put on another album if there's interest.

>>48001
Ay, whatever. I'm still feelin shit and chasing my fix of audial escapism. Might as well go for another one.

>>48001

>May put on another album if there's interest.

I'm not going anywhere, and I already did all my chores and my share of sports during the week. I'm in!

>>48001
I had a 50/50 shot at getting the name right, and I blew it :D. Fun fact: it turns out there is also a Polish punk band called Negative Vibes.

>>48004
Last one though. Much as I'd like to do more, I'm fucked up enough for this to be making me sleepy :-DDD

>>48005
It happens. I could have been more clear anyway. For the record, the stream name was intended to do double duty as a description of my brain this weekend so far, and the album.

Fun Fact: Before changing the name, the last one was still Audial Shitposting from the 24 hour stream. That was a 3 album dive into Aussie shitcore noise. Was ebin and surprisingly well received for what really was audial shitposting tbh.

>>48006

>Was ebin and surprisingly well received for what really was audial shitposting tbh.

That stream was fuggin legendary, man!

Thanks for listening. Cut the last bit short since the outro is about 7 minutes of that flat white noise, and I'm kind of tired now.

Also, just gonna leave this sumbitch here to help hype up the krautrap stream later on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6SSDwI7ZjE

Todays winner is "Hüsker Dü - Warehouse: Songs And Stories". Great Album which completes the bands journey from Punk to Alternative. Sadly it's also their final album.

New in the poll:
Hüsker Dü - New Day Rising
The Roots - Things Fall Apart
Poison Girls - Songs Of Praise
Alice in Chains - Facelift

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10649509
Like always we start at 18:00 Germany time which is in around 1 hour from now.

Visit the chat and listen to the pre-stream.

It's again Sunday night folks. I hope you had a great week and even better weekend.

Let's prepare for the coming week together and enjoy some good old Blues. In times like these, we sure need it more than ever.

Meet me in the chat, if you like.

>>48048
Love the show, Colin, thanks!

>>48054
Good job, fuggin saved!

>>48054
thanks, glad you're enjoying it
next week I'm thinking about throwing some Blues Rock/Southern in as well, to spice things up

also, playlist attached

I experienced some severe technical outages which took the lífe of one of the hard drives and one memory block. I will still try to stream some music today, four concept albums and then some turntable action.

The concept albums will be space and science fiction based:
17:00 - 17:35 Flash Gordon by Queen
17:35 - 18:17 Journey to the centre of the Eye by Nektar
18:17 - 19:01 Olias of Sunhillow by Jon Anderson
19:11 - 20:46 Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the War of the Worlds

So starting with some classical rock followed by tthree experimental and progessive rock albums.

After this from 20:46 on something modern, turntable action by DJ KOCO aka SHIMOKITA, a live set of 45 Live w-45 Songs Vol. 1&2. If you want to see the DJ showing off skills on the tables with ease and high energy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGywYSt4OOM & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FphMGsUttH8

Watching this alone made me tired.

See ya at 17:00 UTC.

>>48142

>Jeff Wayne's Musical version of the War of the Worlds

That was amazing.

>>48159
And amazingly close to the original story. Well, at least some major incidents are used to compose songs. Inspired me to read it again, H.G. Wells nailed it there. And Jeff Wayne created a timeless version. Forever Autumn is somewhat known, but to play the whole was a must for me now. And the computer, though battered and beaten, helped to bring it into the radio.

Now the turn table action of the mad Japanese DJ KOCO. I like this live version more than the mixtape version.

Since Neil Young turns 75 today I will be streaming 2 hours of his songs from 19 UTC onwards. Be prepared for some folk rock and long guitar solos.

As a minimal pre-stream a German cover of Rockin' in the Free World by Gerhard Gundermann, Alle oder Keiner.

>>48178
Starting stream now.

I'm sad to announce that todays stream has to be canceled.
Do you want me to have the stream tomorrow at the same time instead?
In case you want to listen but can't do so on sunday let me know and we play todays winner next week instead.

While I can't replace the album stream (time zone fuckery), I was thinking of doing a kind of open table diskurs over some wargaming tonight (local). Might start in around 2 hours on the Radio Ernstiwan Discord. Even if the stream ends up choppy as shit and unwatchable, hopefully the serious discussions autistic rambling holds up.

>>48220
Going live in about 20 mins.

>>48219

>In case you want to listen but can't do so on sunday let me know and we play todays winner next week instead

Tomorrow is bad for me. I have some family nonsense which I can't get out of ;_;.

>The Micheal Jordan of drunk driving played his final game tonight.

OK, now that made me laugh.

Nice stream, man. Glad I made it to the end, especially the last few songs were amazing.

>>48248
thanks.
my only regret is that I spent 3 hours listening to sad, romantic music with a bunch of internet dudes instead of a girl or something.
oh well, maybe next time.

>>48250

>bunch of internet dudes

did you mean

>your /b/rothers

fix'd

oh yeah, Midnight Blues starting in two hours, so 9:00 P.M. UTC check current UTC time here https://time.is/en/UTC on Ernstiwan. Additionally to the usual slow Blues tracks, I've thrown in some dirty, more Southern/Blues Rock tracks as well this time, as I had promised here >>48074

Meet me in the chat if you want or just enjoy the show.

Going to do another stream on Saturday since the last one was pretty fun. Thinking of doing War in the Pacific AE, and talking a bit about related topics. Got some good reviews last time I did this kind of thing, so show up. I promise it will only /probably/ give you autism.

Name: Wargame Chats: War in the Pacific
Time/Date: 21/11/2020 @ 1100Z
Where to go? Radio Ernstiwan Discord

Just two hours of psychedelic rock in half an hour, just before the Prostmusik starts.

Monthly electro/instrumental Hip Hop Stream on air

>>48351
Live in 25-ish minutes.

Currently the radio host server is offline. That's also the reason why EC is loading slow: The polling of the radio status data runs into timeouts. Seems to me like a problem on our provider's site, can't really do anything except wait and hope they fix it soon.

Seems to be fixed now. All hail to our shady provider.

Would there be interest in another wargame stream sometime next week? Probably play Gary Grigsby's War in the East (a 25,000 hex monster simulating the Eastern Front in all the autistic detail that comes with the Gary Grigsby name) since I picked it up recently after a long period of putting it off and the game is ebin. In a few weeks, I'll probably do one with some John Tiller games since their holiday sale begins on the 11th.

>>48695
Yes.

>>48885
Alright, I'll try and do 1100Z on Saturday (Dec. 5th). It's a very similar engine to War in the West, but the rules are obviously very different because the Eastern Front was a very different fight to the Western Front. That means that you shouldn't expect even passable gameplay because I'm straight up just bad at WitE, though in my defence, I've not had the game long.

>>48973
This is not a good time. How long will the stream be?

>>49026
An hour-ish. Main thing is that timezones mean that much later than that and I start falling asleep since I'm 9 hours ahead of Germany.

>>49047

>Romania
>UK
>9 hours ahead

Where are you exactly? Is it even allowed to use proxies?

>>49057
Australia. I'm Romania semi-regularly thanks to accidentally leaving VPN on sometimes, and my IP naturally shows up as UK sometimes. Dunno why.

>>49068
Where will you stream?

Streaming my 100 - 50 Songs from my most heard of 2020 on Spoty.

>>49156
I scrolled down that list and said to myself I don't know any of those tracks or artists Marceo Plex is actually known to me but then I saw DJ Seinfelds Sakura and laughed, because I remember I listened to that track very often when it was released a few years ago.

>>49164
Released in 2018. Funny that I still listened to it so much this year that it made my top 100 again.
Loved the tune since it came out. Never heard of Dj Seinfeld before tbh.

>>49165
He commented one of my tracks in 2016/17 or so, back then the lofi house thing wasn't that big but he was already a figure in the "scene"

>>49166
Ok now you gotta share the song too!

>>49167
I prefer to stay anonymous, sorry. But an Ernst actually engaged with the scene, never made it big, ofc, far from it.

Going to have to cancel today's stream. Really not feeling it today. Sorry about that.

>>49175
That's too bad, then enjoy your day otherwise!

Todays winner is "Gorillaz - Demon Days". Ah yeah, Gorillaz, a band i always felt was kinda gimmicky and only learned to really appreciate very recently.

New in the poll: Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Next weeks poll: https://poll.fm/10677015

The Pre-Stream starts at 17:00 Germany time, which is in 20min from now.
Since todays band is a fictional one with a huge lore surounding it, we are going to listen to a audiobook telling some of the bands story.

Join me in the chat.

>>49180
Thanks, but it was a pretty lousy evening. Had a jobsearch stressenings crash in the early afternoon, and felt flat to bad for the rest of the day. Ended up hanging out with brick but it wasn't the kind of content that would have replaced wargaming + serious discussion.

In 2 hours I'll be streaming my 100 - 50 Songs from my most heard of 2020 on Spoty.

>>49409
If I'm still awake (or alive) by then, just join the chat and tell me, I'm streaming some random shit I wanted to listen to personally right now.

Todays winner is "Funkadelic - Maggot Brain"

A while ago we played the album "Mothership Connection" by the band "Parliament" which shares many members, especially frontman, crack addict and band leader George Clinton.
On wikipedia you can find the following comparison: "Relative to its sister act, Funkadelic pursued a heavier, psychedelic rock-oriented sound." which is kinda fitting.
Altough i would say i like "Mothership Connection" more (it really is one of my favorite albums, so it's hard for anything to come out on top of it), Maggot Brain is still one of the top albums of the 70s and for very good reason on tons of "Top Album" lists.

New in the poll: "Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence"
Poll for next week: https://poll.fm/10684304

The Album starts at 18:00 Germany time, which is in around 1,5 hours from now.
Join the chat and listen to the pre-stream.

I changed the streamer name field in the first table of the stats module to an icon instead of plain text, I think it looks more lively this way. I created an icon for everyone and just took what seemed suitable. Of course you can have any icon you like (if you have your own account, otherwise it's automatically the standard RE logo), just tell me which one you'd like. Format is 48x48 png.

I also changed the graph for the last streams in the streamerview so that it displays the last 20 streams instead of the last 10, so that the long term development is more visible.

>>49454

>Elvis

Perfect!

Gonna stream the movie "Withnail and I" in ~10 minutes on the discord.

This weeks winner is "Gil Scott-Heron - Reflections". Not my favorite Album of him (That would probably be "Bridges", which surely will be streamed at another point in time) but still a great example of his overall musical work.

For next weeks poll i added "Fools Garden - Dish of the Day"
https://poll.fm/10691258

We start at 18:00 Germany time, which is in just over 1 hour from now.
Join the chat, listen to the pre-stream.

Today at 18:00UTC I will host a radio show with the title "Your opinions are shit (they're fucking shit)". During this show, I will argue about 3 controversial topics I have prepared (the term "prepared" is used loosely here), and my opinions might be a little edgy, though not obviously wrong. But since it's the internet, all opinions expressed there are automatically shit anyways. You can reply to my shit opinions in the thread or just call me on discord to tell me why my opinions are shit, but that only makes you another guy on the internet with an opinion, which then also will be shit by default.

There also will be music breaks, and they most likely will be - you guessed it - shit.

>>49686
The topics, by the way, are:

1. Why Hitler was right
2. Trap is the best music genre since monkeys started to rhythmically punch on things
3. .gif's are called gif, not jiff or whatever

As a possible bonus topic: Are transexuals gay?

>>49687
I laughed! I should take notes in case I ever want to make a second show :DD

>>49686
That'd be fun

>>49686
Hearing a lot of static.

In most cases reading requires more effort and attention than watching TV or movies. This places reading on a higher plane, even when the subject is pure entertainment. The increase in vocabulary that accompanies reading also comes into play, as words are our best method for conveying complex thoughts.

Sound is clicking and popping.

Music sounds good, so it has to be your mic.

Where are the discussion about opinions?

>>49715
Discussions are here, and also on the radio.

>>49716
German accent is c&a

Lörs thoughts?

Austria > Germany

Listening for 5 minutes, there's a German talking about eugenics, the death of God and the holocaust.

>>49717
C&A?

>>49718
Do you mean in terms of geography? Economy? Culture?

This is the most german opinion ever xD

From an aesthetic point of view, what would be the meaning of life if you were designed to be a way? Doesn't life become a lot less beautiful with genetic engineering?

What if at some point in the Future the government mandates that certain genes be modified and people who refuse are not allowed to reproduce?

Also

>newfags don't know what c&a is

My concern over genetic engineering is abstract, a fear that someone will screw it up and won't realize until it's too late. Picture a baby who is born immune to a disease, but at 30 suddenly ages out of control...I don't know, just some horror scenario like that. Unforseen consequences. Like the mosquitoes we made then released into the wild:

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/750-million-gm-mosquitoes-will-be-released-in-the-florida-keys-67855

It may work, but who knows, it could be a disaster and we'll have no way to undo it.

Germany should eternally pay reparations to Israel because of the holocaust

>>49721
You thoroughly btfo my "arguments"

Thanks for entertaining them in any case.

c&a = cute & adorable

What is the next opinion?

And what version of around the world was played earlier?

>>49732

>What is the next opinion?

Total surveillance of the state is necessary and a good thing.

>And what version of around the world was played earlier?

Will post the playlist after the show.

>>49722
Honestly the genetic age terrifies me which is the age right after the digital one we're entering now. We are basically at the current point of the first IBM mainframes getting drafted. Life is not like technology. Life seeks to survive and propagate itself. Gain of function research should be banned outright with international treaties because the risks are almost always going to outweigh any benefit outside a catastrophic global emergency, and by that I don't mean something as mild as SARS-COV2, but like us getting hit with a new smallpox.

The other scenario is we are likely to have to out up with furries using chimera genecrafting to splice animal DNA into their own eventually. It will start with the innocuous seeming stuff like trying to screen embryos for diseases, and then add functions like try to identify high IQ or high attractiveness genes with unintended consequences because it isn't add one subtract one type of thing, as Russian domestic foxes shows us. But what really worries me is not human abominations, but the intentional or accidental release of genetically modified organisms into the wild. Cross contamination is already a massive problem with invasive species. The last thing we need is something getting cooked up into a lab and escaping containment.

The worst case scenarios I foresee humanity facing in the next 150 years is total ecological collapse from climate change, global pandemics of something black death or smallpox tier, nanotechnology spiraling out of control most probably only created in response to the aforementioned two until we discover the nanobots used to clean pollution or disease are now an even worse problem proliferating in the wild, and/or a nuclear exchange, most likely in response or context of political instability in face of the aforementioned three things. The last possible thing we need is to add genetech on top of that essentially for shits and giggles or some wildly trivial reason most assuredly initiated because of rich country vanity or corporate greed.

>>49726

>c&a = cute & adorable

Thanks.

I don't agree that the State's role is to guarentee safety because that's impossible,
Even permitting us to drive cars kills untold thousands compared to a pedestrian society. So the State provides a basic framework for interaction, both social and economic, along with some level of security. But not guaranteed security.

Monitoring a citizen is a violation of our right to privacy-something which has fallen out of the publics mind in recent years. Cameras are one thing-businesses install them or whatever-but cameras along with police power creates an oppressive environment. Like driving with a patrol car in your rear view. We all know when they're there, and can't wait for them to move on.

We all act differently when watched.

>>49686
Thanks for the show!

>>49740
Thanks for listening, here's the playlist as promised. Also some guy on /b/ asked about a recording, so I recorded the whole show. I doubt that anybody who listened to it will want to repeat the process, but in case someone missed it: https://mega.nz/file/xcsGHACK#erkjPk-LrhwJjNmzGoDoU-YHIap5lzdWbSfFFi7i-5U

>The Metro - Berlin

Cool song!

t. not a listener

There is going to be a Christmas Special tomorrow starting at 8pm cet
I may or may not stream Bad Santa at 6pm cet on the discord but I'm not 100% sure. Gonna update tomorrow.
It's gonna be me and King Retard will join me later on, hooray!
Show starts with some atlernative Christmas Songs and after that let's see. Maybe some 80's. Gonna play wishes too.
Calling we be possible later on.

From 12-13:00UTC I will stream some traditional german christmas songs by Scooter, and I will test my mic again to see if it's better now with the new audio setup.

>>49891
He is indeed the lyrical Jesus!

>>49894
It might sound strange and unusual to Austrians, who as far as I know celebrate christmas traditionally with Money Boy songs while throwing Mozartkugeln at each other, but coming together at the christmas tree, giving presents and eating kraut and potatoes while listening to Scooter is the german way of celebrating christmas, dating back to the first emperors from house Habsburg to the early middle ages, even before Hitler!

>>49895
Mic is still fucked up bro

>>49902
Well fug! But thanks for the feedback, that at least means I can rule out VoiceMeeter as the culprit, because now it's only mixxx involved. The mic also can't be the problem, since it works fine with discord and gaming and whatever.
