The Vibe 007/Transcript

[Intro music]

Announcer: This is Loudspeaker.

[Song: "Therefore I Am (PO Clean Edit)" by Billie Eilish]

Cheyenne: Hello out there in our nation’s capital. It’s Tuesday and you know what that means. Time to fulfil your patriotic listening duty with the Vibe. That was "Therefore I Am" by Billie Eilish and I’m your host Cheyenne Midej, the Jersey Devil, which admittedly is confusing to some people since the state I am no longer allowed in is actually Arkansas! Don’t ask about it. It’s complicated and you know what? It wasn’t even my fault. How was I supposed to know that it was flammable and the brakes weren’t working? I mean, seriously!

Oh, Rian, my producer, is waving her arms like she’s trying to tell me something? Uh… Two words, first word - balance? Dribble? Basketball? Oh, oh play! Play. The… trombone? Play music? Oh, oh that’s it, “play music.” (Gasps) Oh. Uh, yeah. (Laughs) How ‘bout we play some music?

(distantly) Fuck you, Rian.

[Song: "Leave the Door Open" by Silk Sonic]

[Song: "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend]

[Song: "SuperNatural Possession" by Laura Jane Grace]

[Song: "4 AM Reimagined" by Helynt, Alainite]

Cheyenne: You just heard "Leave the Door Open" by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, and Silk Sonic, "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend, "SuperNatural Possession" by Laura Jane Grace, and "4 AM Reimagined" by Helynt and Alainite.

So some people called in asking what was up with the interruption during last week’s show and I don’t know what to tell you guys. I listened back to the station recording and it is totally normal. So whatever y’all seem to have experienced wasn’t happening on our end.

But enough about last week’s show. We’re right in the middle of this week’s show! So let’s crank up the volume and have some fun.

[Song: "Superman" by Goldfinger]

[Song: "Missing Piece" by Aloe Blacc]

[Song: "Burning Earth" by Oshima Brothers]

[Song: "Only Home I've Ever Known" by The California Honeydrops]

Cheyenne: That was "Superman" by Goldfinger, "Missing Piece" by Aloe Blacc, "Burning Earth" by Oshima Brothers, and "Only Home I've Ever Known" by The California Honeydrops.

Okay, so, I know I just said “enough about last week’s show,” but now I’m just sitting here thinking about radio interference! Frequencies, that whole business. I mean, think about all the crazy ways that radio waves interact with the world, right? Did you know they actually travel further at night? I’ve gotten AM stations from North Carolina before when messing around in, you know, like, the wee hours. What if something happened on, like, a super-specific frequency that messed up with only specific people’s receptions?

I don’t know. I’m no expert. I’m just here to release good music into the world. So let’s get back to that.

[Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by Feed The Biirds]

[Song: "Where the Devil Don't Go" by Elle King]

[Song: "Frontier Psychiatrist" by The Avalanches]

[Song: "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" by Glass Animals]

Cheyenne: That was Feed The Biirds doing their version of "Heart-Shaped Box," Elle King with "Where the Devil Don't Go," The Avalanche with "Frontier Psychiatrist," and Glass Animals with "Space Ghost Coast to Coast."

I have also been informed by my intrepid producer and several callers that that’s not how radio works. Hey, listen, I said I wasn’t an expert. Anyway, that’ll do it for this week’s show. You know what they say though. You don’t gotta go home but you can’t stay here. But don’t worry, there’s a "Party Back At My House." Not really. Not an actual one. But that is our last song by Soul Contributions. ‘Night, D.C. See you when I see ya.
