CLBB Traveller Radio

[far-trader]

RU Receiving...

Turn it up listeners and relax to the tunes of CLBB your Classic Little Black Box of music for Travellers.

OK, so I don't have a webradio station (yet ) but inspired by the pick a classic tune thread here in the Lonestar Lounge (and iirc a much older similar one somewhere here on CotI, hmm, maybe the station call letters should be COTI ) I decided to play late night DJ. Hey I'm an insomniac and listening to web radio, go figure.

Right so I could share a link (yeah let's ), OK listeners, dial your CLBB to my hometown (close enough at least

) station. Here you are Radio KHIT Regina webcasting all the way from the Spinward Marches


OK, share your favorite web-radio (as ad free as possible but hey it's the net) here and play DJ.

Let's add a Traveller Themed music trivia contest too!

Post a lyric line or two from a song that ties in some way to our great old game. Any stretch of your imagination as long as you can ObTrav it

I'll kick it off with this little taste from earlier this eve...

I come from a world where the light is dim
And the people not so jive...

Bonus points if you can do it without resorting to a lyric search engine. Song and original Artist. Go to it folks, I'm gonna go surf and listen a bit...

Here's one of my favorite web radio links: KLBJ-FM in Austin

As for some lyrics, here are some from "Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe:

"No more gravity, nothing holding them down
Floating endlessly, as their ship leaves the ground
Thru the walls of time - at the speed of light
Fly the crystal ships on their celestial flight
On their celestial flight."

Oops, didn't read that part very carefully. I didn't realize posting the lyrics was supposed to be a trivia contest.

I'll try another:

"If you return me
to my home port
I will kiss you,
Mother Earth."

"Oowatanite" by April Wine.
But I cheated and used a search engine.

Here's two for you to try to figure out

--cruising under your radar
watching from the satelites
take a page from the red book and keep them in your sights
red alert
red alert


--as the sun breaks above the ground and old man stands on the hill
as the ground warms to the first rays of light, a bird song shatters the still.
his eyes are ablaze;
see the madman in his gaze
fly on your way like an eagle
fly as high as the sun on your way like an eagle fly towards the sun

it's all in fun. I'm still racking my mind for yours. I haven't resorted to a lyric search yet because the "I will kiss you Mother Earth" line is ringing some distant bells. The first one you posted is a good one.

This one I do know

Distant Early Warning by Rush. Rush had a few that would be good Traveller tunes, Red Barchetta is another (paints a nice high law high tech chase scene

)

Flight of Icarus: Iron Maiden?

Of course, the absolute best Travellerish Rush song would have to be Cygnus X-1

Or side one of "2112."

Okay, you want to play music trivia?

Find the musical references in the Gateway Domain sourcebook starmap.

[/QB][/QUOTE]

Well, yeah. So obvious, if it were a snake it would have bit me.

With a bit of extrapolation, that song could make a fair campaign setting.

 

[Aoth]

"I like to lie shipwrecked and comatose drinking fresh mango juice. Goldfish are nibbling on my toes."

(Sorry it is from TV not a Real song.)

Well, no one ever got it. It was "Closer to Home" by Grand Funk Railroad.

Here are a couple more:

"With all screens and functions
In sync lock with Tripstar
This cool rolling bubble
Is all set to samba
This route could be trouble
(This route could be trouble)"

and

"Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from"

Hint: They're both by the same act.

TV is fine, especially in this case. Sorry it took so long to come back to this. I knew it right off and meant to reply but got busy. Odd no one else has chimed in but in any case...

The theme song and life goal of Lister of the mining ship "Red Dwarf" a great BBC show imo, wish they'd rerun it again over here.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Get the DVDs (worth it just for the commentaries)

No, it was a coincidence. That's funny.
