Looks like fun, I wish my itunes wasn't borked beyond all possible comprehension.

I think it's right up the alley of many people here. The alley where there is most definitely not a pitch-black crack in the wall just wide enough to squeeze into the boarded-up old warehouse.

QuoteThe Apache Tracker, and I remind you that this is that white guy who wears the huge and cartoonishly inaccurate Indian headdress, has announced that he has found some disturbing evidence concerning the recent incident at the Night Vale post office which has been sealed by the City Council since the great screaming that was heard from it a few weeks ago.

He said using 'ancient Indian magics' he slipped through Council security into the post office and observed that all the letters and packages had been thrown about as in a whirlwind. That there was the heavy stench of scorched flesh. That the words written in blood on the wall said "More to come, and soon."

Can you believe this guy said he used Indian magics? What an asshole!

Is the hovering cat in the men's bathroom at the radio station reoccurring? I'm only on episode two. Easily distracted.

It's been mentioned again at least once. I'm not all the way through them yet.

Old Woman Josie, out near the car lot, and the angels are mentioned nearly every episode.

All the music in the background is by Disparition, which can be downloaded for free at disparition.info. This is fucking cool. And the weather for the seventh episode is Danny Schmidt singing "This Too Shall Pass". It is here -> http://www.dannyschmidt.com/DannySchmidtMP3s/P%26P/dannyschmidt-thistoo.mp3

His lyrics are pretty sweet.

Dude, Cainad, thanks for sharing this. These guys are putting together something pretty damn awesome.

I hadn't actually bothered to check out Disparition, or the other artists from the weather segments. Maybe I should look in to that.

Desert Bluffs actually is more nightmarish than Night Vale, somehow.

Desert Bluffs is the Phoenix to Night Vale's Tuscon.

But of course. The City Council has worked tirelessly to make our humble desert neighborhood as charming and wholesome a place as anyone could ask for.

You'll love it so much, you'll never want to leave. You'll probably end up forgetting that leaving is even possible.

The latest episode reminds me of PD.

Quote from: Welcome to Nightvale. . . pay attention to those fuzzy and dark corners. Peer deeper into those predictable patterns like walls and moons. Furrow that brow and seek visual truth, Night Vale. If you could only see what you're not seeing. If you could only take in all the complex layers of horrors that lie just beyond your range of sight. If you could only see the world as it really is.

It is awful. And on fire.

And beautiful.

It's a wonderful way to spend time with your girlfriend. It keeps you safe from things like the dog park, which is forbidden, and mountains, which don't exist.

It lives in your ear now. We don't have a way to remove it, so the City Council recommends that you get comfortable with it. Learn to share its interests, and make space for it in your life. This could be the beginning of a fruitful and meaningful relationship with your new psychic mind parasite, so try to make the best of it.

If the hooded figures are keeping you awake at night with their monotonous yet necessary chanting, you can now go to YouTube and listen to the weather any time you want. http://www.youtube.com/user/manicouch?feature=watch

Unless the City Council decides YouTube doesn't exist or the Sheriff's Secret Police declare YouTube an official Holiday. That would be bad. Because I don't think there's a YouTube vaccine or anti-venom yet.

My baby's friend has apparently been trolling tumblr on it for weeks. "I have listened to every episode from 1 to 31 and I haven't heard anything that indicates that Cecil and Carlos have an attraction to each other, that is a projection that tumblr people have imposed on the narrative".

Haha.  The Night Vale tumblr fandom do seem very easily trolled, even by the standards of fandoms.  I, of course, approve.

They are SO twitchy. It's kind of amazing.
