Stumble ThisFor more than 30 years the Shortwave radio spectrum has been used by intelligence agencies to transmit secret messages. These messages are transmitted by hundreds of Numbers Stations.
Shortwave Numbers Stations are a perfect method of anonymous, one way communication. Spies located anywhere in the world can be communicated to by their masters via small, locally available, and unmodified Shortwave receivers. The encryption system used by Numbers Stations, known as a one time pad is unbreakable. Combine this with the fact that it is almost impossible to track down the message recipients once they are inserted into the enemy country, it becomes clear just how powerful the Numbers Station system is.
These stations use very rigid schedules, and transmit in many different languages, employing male and female voices repeating strings of numbers or phonetic letters day and night, all year round.
The voices are of varying pitches and intonation; there is even a German station (The Swedish Rhapsody) that transmits a female child's voice.

now watching the whole thing in its entirety...of the essence of some moment...wow trippy-hippity-dippity
stereolab used this voice somewhere in "transient random noise bursts with announcements".
what an amazing post...
I think this is because the 'Bot did not technically kill it. Or Lucky quietly and efficiently closed the loop.
btw, thank you for the save. It is one of my favorites. So long as james robert roe doesn't realize his sinister dream of raising the level to 15 votes, then this one should haunt me at 9-10 votes for the next four days.

Wilco probably settled if they didn't properly secure the rights, although I am certain that their reps probably thought this was public domain.
