The Vibe 004/Transcript

[Intro music]

Announcer: This is Loudspeaker.

[Song: "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Presidents of the United States of America]

Cheyenne: It’s Tuesday and you know what that means. It means it’s time for the Vibe, an hour-long exquisi-corpse created by my moods and experiences over the past week. And there’s a ton I need to unpack for (laughs) this last seven days.

As always, I’m your host, Cheyenne “The Jersey Devil” Midej, here to take the edge off this Tuesday with those sweet vibes. The intro to the show this week was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Presidents of the United States. And let’s get right back into it.

(over the music) Catch you soon.

[Song: "Roots Radicals" by Rancid]

[Song: "FBI" by Gee Tee]

[Song: "You're on Fire" by They Might Be Giants]

[Song: "Flavor of the Weak" by American Hi-Fi]

Cheyenne: That was "Roots Radicals" by Rancid, "FBI" by Gee Tee, "You're on Fire" by They Might Be Giants, and "Flavor of the Weak" by American Hi-Fi.

Now to start the show, I’d like to observe that today is, of course, World Rainforest Day, a day meant to celebrate the sheer dark expanse of those wild jungles and how we can support them. The rainforests are home to numerous species of flora and fauna, each with varying numbers of legs, eyes, and yes, even souls. Make sure you do your part. Reduce, reuse, and resurrect the dark spirits of the rainforest.

But you know what? I know that they’ve got a lot of lakes up in those jungles. Some “Real Big Fish,” coming up now on the Vibe.

[Song: "Your Guts (I Hate 'em)" by Reel Big Fish]

[Song: "Don't Speak" by No Doubt]

[Song: "205" by S’tano]

[Song: "Explode" by The Cardigans]

Cheyenne: You just finished listening to "Your Guts (I Hate 'em)" by Reel Big Fish, "Don't Speak" by No Doubt, "205" by S’tano, and "Explode" by The Cardigans.

I just learned that the station here has upgraded their radio tower and we’re now broadcasting not only to D.C., but you can hear us now in Northern Virginia. The station is on the same frequency of a college station out of Richmond, and I hear if you’re in just the right place between the two, both start playing.

My producer Rian drives from Richmond every day to the station and she said it sounded like someone was playing a Beatles album in reverse. I asked her if she was possessed and all she did was speak in tongues. While I decipher her cryptic messages, let’s get back into some music.

[Song: "Turn the Lights Off" by Tally Hall]

[Song: "I'm All Bloody Inside" by Liam Lynch]

[Song: "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans]

[Song: "Policy of Truth" by Depeche Mode]

[Song: "Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare)" by Kid Cudi feat. MGMT & Ratatat]

Cheyenne: That was "Turn the Lights Off" by Tally Hall, "I'm All Bloody Inside" by Liam Lynch, "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans, "Policy of Truth" by Depeche Mode, and "Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare)" by Kid Cudi, MGMT, and Ratatat.

It’s almost the top of the hour which means I’m about to be kicked out of the studio by security. I know, I wish I could be here all night too. Before I leave you to prepare in the dark void for the second half of the week, here’s one last track to remember me by. It’s probably a bit too up-tempo for this time of night, but for all you night owls, something has got to keep you awake until sunrise. It certainly isn’t going to be the four hours of jazz up next by award-winning radio host Arthur Hall.

Let’s finish up the night with Daft Punk’s hit track "Da Funk." This has been Cheyenne “The Jersey Devil” Midej with the Vibe. Have a great night, D.C. See you next week.
