Harsh

Noise

Hero

Reminds me of listening to my Dad’s large Admiral portable shortwave radio.

Yves Klein’s 1949 Monotone-Silence Symphony (informally The Monotone Symphony, conceived 1947–48), an orchestral forty-minute piece whose second and last movement is a twenty-minute silence (the first movement being an unvarying twenty minute drone).

FM—-No static at all…

Ahh, white noise…

Short wave radio between stations!

Schroeder was trying to get him to switch over to FM. No static at all.

CB likes the CMB!

He should listen to Imaginary Landscape No. 4 by John Cage

Charlie Brown invented the white noise machine.

Must be the Kanye West channel…

He’s waiting for the pirate radio station to come on the air and direct him to the next rave. Oh… wait… this is somewhere in the US in the 1950s, not England in the 1990s.

Cool graphic interpretation of static!

I see Charlie Brown is giving him static!

Soon Charlie Brown would be setting his alarm for 1 a.m. to catch the TV station sign-off, the test pattern… then the “dead air.”

A major source of radio static is lightning. Some people use their AM radios to explore “spherics” (short for atmospherics) and search for approaching electrical storms. One person’s interference is another person’s hobby.

I remember driving in the car with the AM radio on and being able to hear lightning strikes in a storm happening miles away.

He won’t like after he marries Lucy

And the first fuzz pedal was invented.

I mean, it’s an interesting way to spend a couple hours on LSD, but otherwise nah…

Still better than Kid Rock.

Sometimes white noise is what you needed.

Beware the secret messages.

Honestly, static is better than a lot of music.

The static irritates the heck out of me! I prefer listening to music on the radio.
