To everyone speculating on Art doing an internet-based show from his website: WHY would he ever do this? Does not seem likely at all. "Let me start from scratch and run an internet radio show for free!" At this point in his life, what the fuck for?

I think that he came back out of unresolved hatred and frustration for his former employers. Now that he's addressed that, fucked with Noory and saw that he still had it in him, how much could he really care about "going to work" every day suddenly at 68, let alone starting from scratch for free.

When you listen to the Spooky Matter show, he's constantly pointing out every time a trucker calls in. Then he asks how the person found out about the show, and each time he addresses either of these topics he injects an "I told you so" subtext to what he's saying. There was definitely some shit being said between the lines to the people he was "negotiating" with.

Well, I guess it's back to C2C.  I know they're not as good but they are there when you tune in.

I'll never go back to coast to coast while George Noory is there. And now this guy "Tommy" has been an asshole to enough people (not Art Bell) that I don't like that guy being involved either.

I've just realized I have had this on repeat on the second monitor for the past hour haha

I love that shit so much.

Also, the live in-studio show with him and Albert King. Oh my god.

Gods, I loved season 2....

same here, I really wish Lynch would have been able to finish the other two movies he had outlined in '92. We never got to see Sheriff Truman drive Josie backwards through the portal on the Creamed Corn planet with the Little Man from Another Place.

The  Facebook post might have been in anger or in the heat of the moment. Why else would the entire thing be taken down after  a short while, other than a hack. If this was a done deal and the show is 100% gone, then why not leave the FB comment up?
If Art never comes back to Dark Matter we will probably get a cripitic message like "the blowing winds are winding down folks". Similar to what we got from him in the past 2 years. His fans speculated  about the hidden meanings, same as today. IF he is quitting for good I dont really expect much of an explanation from him. Maybe another "Stay Tunned, I will someday tell you about SXM, but now is not the time."
I am still holding on to hope that this is not the end of art's broadcasting  career.
Art wants what Art wants.

I feel like he took it down because everyone is going to turn on him like a bunch of rabid zombies if they haven't already. Facebook gets nasty, and he's got a lot of hate brewed up right now.

THIS.

Everyone calm down. Art is either playing hard ball or will be doing a show fully online (with an app for android and iPhone) or he will be back on the air tomorrow night.

Art was clearly having a blast with dark matter and with broadcasting again. I don't think this is the end.

I dunno man, you know as well as I do that he has done this so many times before. Great one night, gone the next... been happening ...for YEARS.

I'm going to go punch the burrito truck until I get arrested. See you all on COPS.

I wonder if it was Paul who put up that temporary show schedule that said something like "jack and shit."

Wow, was that actually on the website? I thought that the General just made it up.

You are awesome. I'm freaking out a bit, I was soo happy having art back! 

Let's keep emailing SiriusXM, telling them how much we are looking forward to new shoes!

listenercare@siriusxm.com

I mostly feel the same as you do. But honestly, I've had the same pair of chucks for a few years and even though they are falling apart, and near being replaced, new shoes won't do much to brighten my day after this non-announcement. And I doubt sirius even cares about my shoes anyway.

WTF, I'm googling the phrase "art bell" and going through the news section, and there's an article about Paul Moller (the flying car guy) and it says that he's supposed to be a guest for four hours. WTF, THE SHOW WASN'T SUPPOSED TO END DAMNIT.

This is like season 2 of twin peaks all over again

Thank you so much!! Please, more people email siriusxm here and tell them that we can't wait formless new shows!

listenercare@siriusxm.com

I shot them an email, probably won't make too much sense to read cause I'm so fucking pissed right now.

why the fuck did it ever even say graham hancock?!?! Art can come on the air and finish his show tonight one last time or at least come on for the first ten minutes with an explanation. Actually, fuck it, I dont

Quote from: Seraphim27 on November 04, 2013, 06:44:02 PM
I'm almost more upset that he made a fool out of his fans. We were all, "THE KING IS BACK! WOOHOOO!" and now we whisper, "oops, never mind."

In other news, did anyone hear John B. Wells make that pizza roll joke Saturday? Guess I'll go over to that thread and find out. 

Oh, I'm not gonna be whispering any "oops nevermind" shit over here, I'm fucking PISSED. He didn't make anything clear at the end of Spooky Matter. Leave us all guessing and waiting for an answer for days, and then NO FUCK YOU, NO ANSWER. HOAGLAND REPLAY ART? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Dont say you're gonna give me an answer on monday a

I don

Quote from: AppealPlay on November 04, 2013, 06:40:35 PM
So apparently there will be a replay tonight.  One of the Hoagland episodes, according to artbell.com.

OH for FUCK'S SAKE.

i'm too depressed to smoke a reefer right now. AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA ART WHHY AHWYHAHAHAHA A

I"M HAVING A MELTDOWN!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHJHHHHHHH


Good think there's no shortage of THIS shit to go around:

I just rang up SiriusXM, got a manager on the line, she said that they currently don't have an update on that show's schedule, but she hopes this is incorrect because she enjoys Art Bell.

fuuuuuuuuuuck. I didn't ask about getting any money back.

This is too depressing, I sat here every fucking night for four hours. Didn't miss one fucking show, even the nights that Art canceled. FUCK. NOW WHAT DO WE DO WITH ALL THIS EXTRA WEED AND BANDWIDTH?! FUCSK./

Looks like Graham Hancock is the guest for tomorrow night

Of course, it ain't MV's first rodeo... He always sounds comfortable and professional.

I enjoyed it. Onan sounds like Kevin smith.

According to Casio, he lost his teeth from not brushing them. He posted a bunch of pictures of his mouth with freshly missing front teeth and "remember to brush" messages... A few years ago he still had his teeth, but they looked FUCKED up.

He`ll always be Eugene Victor Tooms, to me.

Same here. Creepy eyed monster. Mr. Fantastic if he was on baff salts. (The character, not the actor himself)

Quote from: stevesh on November 03, 2013, 07:14:09 AM
Sure it wasn't Noory trying hs tuning fork experiment again ?

Sounds like the time that Ian Punnet called in after taking ambien.


Seriously though, that sounds like some sort of signal intrusion?

It was 7:30 into the show. I'm not thinking it means anything at this point. The "maybe" was  the only thing that made it suspect, but he definitely says "baby"

I just listened, I think he says "It works with XM, baby." Not "maybe"

Quote from: Job on November 01, 2013, 08:07:51 PM
It was a pre-announcement:

"Do you listen to “Dark Matter”?  Do you enjoy it?  I know many of you do, but you may not have found the right radio yet. Well, congratulations! Tonight, you have found the right radio.  It’s called “The Grace Victoria WiFi Internet Radio.”

Now listen very, very, very carefully.  It will allow connection to your current Internet Sirius XM account so it works with XM. (whispered) Maybe. ..."

Would he want people to rush off and buy a $200 radio for nothing?  It's a done deal.  Also, check out the 5-year expiration dates on the "on-demand" Dark Matter shows.  That wasn't always that way.

you know this is very interesting...

Internet only package with Sirius costs what, $5-6 a month? Why would they give up that revenue? Doesn't make any sense at all.

I think it's closer to $15, isn't it?

He's really been digging on Lionel and the Commodores lately. He should play "Zoom", that's my favorite Commodores song.

The echo is suddenly gone, in the middle of a call that started with echo.

It's on all of the callers, weird.
