    Just curious since you mentioned Martina Topley-Bird - have you ever listened to Quixotic by her? It has a lot of the same vibe as that song. It's dated for sure, but give "Ragga" and "Sandpaper Kisses" a listen if you haven't heard.

    You're not alone. Call it what you want, whether it's blissful ignorance, blatant disregard, delusional grandeur or whatever. It's easier to cope with your head in the sand. I just try to do what I can and not focus on the lack of action from those in charge. I hate that this is the solution, but it just feels hopeless to try to tackle anything head-on. But I do give a shit about the future of humanity so it is becoming increasingly difficult to remain ignorant.

    Well usually it's just ticketmaster that does shady things like this. Can't we just buy concert tickets without a 3rd party taking a huge cut out of the sales?

    Using actual hardware? Or online? I was able to get it to work online by using a Russian hosted SDR server. The other ones I used weren't close enough to pick it up. I think because it's so well known there is a lot of interference around that band.

    The buzzer! I have no idea what it means but it is very mysterious. The voices are one thing and they are a little concerning. There are also changes to the tone and frequency of the buzz. I check once every so often to see if anything crazy is happening but I've never caught anything too crazy live. There is a YouTube channel that re-broadcasts it live and it is also able to be heard through one of the online sdr tuners.

    I know exactly what you mean about the chemical taste. Turned me completely away. I did still buy their chili garlic sauce because it tasted much better and less "off". The last jar of that I bought had an off taste too though. Sounds like I need to order a few from Underwood Farms. Have you tried anything else from them?
