Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[SomeVelvetMorning]

All the airplane talk reminds me once again of Lloyd Bridges in Airplane:

[tertiaryimam]

Art bell,

In all seriousness --- and I hope most of you know I'm not always serious --- the only reason Skype calls sound better to some is because the Skype call's volume is up and there's less bass in it compared to your voice. On some speakers, the bass in your voice doesn't cut through as well as the Skype calls do. Case in point: I had a fan on and was just on the edge of consciousness, but I could hear the Skype caller clearly whereas the fan shitted all over your voice. I know not everyone has a fan on, but, yes, the Skype calls volume is up and the frequencies are different. Bass is sexy in a radio voice, but it is actually less intelligible than the mid-range and treble you get on a Skype call.

AND I'M DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT THIS: Consider having a distortion on your Skype line which makes them sound like good landline phones. The Skype shit is jarring and doesn't fit in with my Nostalgia at all. Who's with me on this?

Hey Art!... Eat A Dick! 

I'm like 15 pages behind. This thread is going to be huuuuuuuge.

I do believe you may have gone to the dick-eating well one or two too many times. At this point, I hope you are at least getting some enjoyment out of reading your posts, because while I can't speak for anyone else, I am quite sure your comments are just being scrolled past on the way to much more enlightening ones. why don't you just return to riding Noory's, since you seem to have such a phallic Infatuation.  Please return to your hole, a-hole. You are offering nada here. Stop taking up space. You're stinking up the forum with your penis breath

[SaucyRossy]

Ha......Janet 667 actually shows upon flightaware, I can't believe you can even track it. That's hilarious...

Wait so you can track it from groom lake to Las Vegas? Hahaha

[toastycoasty]

Real talk - what are some of the potential net-based problems for a live streaming site? The stream has had something like 100+ listeners from here, but a proper Art show would bring in thousands... I feel like that's a web meltdown waiting to happen unless they're VERY well prepared.

Who should Art's first guest be on his new show?

I'm voting for Al Bielek.

Dave Noory

[PathoJen]

2013, Nov 6th predictions:

Gnoory will now change his avatar to the face of a pug.
Art bell's new show will up and running by next week at the latest. His first guest will be Al Bielek.
Art will be bitten by a feral guinea pig.
He will survive.

hahahha! will you marry me?!

Yes, "Dark Matter" isn't the best title I've ever heard.  How about Night Rage?

I'd like to hear what John Lear has been up to in recent years, what sort of craziness he's thought up.  The man's nutters.

You should check out Kerry Cassidy's interview with him if you haven't already. It's on Project Camelot or whatever. He has been around here and there. He's great, as usual.

Night Rage is a little too. . . extreme. I think a better title is something not so obvious. A lot of beauty of Asian art comes from the empty spaces and the sparseness, where we can see what we want to. Or behold the beauty of nothing at all.

Coast to Coast was a good name because it didn't say anything to us outright, but began to take on meaning for us as time went on.

I'd be fine with "The Art Bell Show."

[whiptrackercracker]

Wait so you can track it from groom lake to Las Vegas? Hahaha

Looks like this Janet flight came from KTNX, which is the tonopah test range airport. That's all the stealth detachment and fighter guys. So not so much, on this flight anyways. Sort of thought the eastbound approach was odd. The groom flights come straight in from the north...

[tertiaryimam]

hahahha! will you marry me?!

Don't plait the hayer if you can't gate the plame.

[SaucyRossy]

What a crazy fucking week

[Camazotz Automat]

   But it gave us Wings to fly with!

...for the rabbits on the ruuuuuu -uuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!

(boom boom)

Gab on the run
Gab on the ruuun

[tertiaryimam]

I think Art should interview the cat lady for at least an hour.

[littlechris]

Art,
I hope you notice the difference between true hate, of which there are a few people posting things like that here, and anger borne from extreme disappointment from big fans that were really, truly excited about this new show. 

I was mad out of disappointment, but...
As long as you're on the air, I'll always listen.
And long after that, I'll probably listen to old shows.
Looking forward to your return.  (again... heh heh)

THIS ^

Also there are many ways to monetize the stream with google adsense on the page that the stream is on.

I don't care if Art has to fill every single square inch of the stream page with adsense advertisements, as long as we get the live show back!!!

The biggest issue on their side would be server bandwidth. His stream is running at 32kbps. I'd say, with a 100mbit dedicated server, he could host around 2800 listeners on that machine. A typical streaming broadcaster would have multiple machines though, so that quickly becomes thousands upon thousands that could be hosted.

On the listener side, software incompatibilities, and insufficient bandwidth would be some of the only issues. a simple icecast stream at 32 kbps though could be listened to over a dial up connection though, so bandwidth issues would be minimal.

[Krazykatlady]

Be patient building your base up Art. You know it takes time.

I couldn't agree more.

[Jackstar]

Thank you Art & Paul I can hear the planes coming in


!!!

This lady? http://www.drstandley.com/cat_sunsigns.shtml

Or me? 

[dortmunder]

Art, could we get a live stream out of PDX on the 25th? I'll need to know if my plane's on time.

[tertiaryimam]

This lady? http://www.drstandley.com/cat_sunsigns.shtml

Or me? 

Oh shit. That's funny as hell.

You know, I published an online book once about cats and magick as a joke and I got tons of terrible reviews for it because people took it so seriously. Bwahahahaha. I love the world.

I meant you, by the way.

[420desert]

can't wait for the Dream Stream.

Art - one suggestion... go all over the board with your shows. For instance, Is it possible to have silicon based lifeforms, as silicon is the only other element that can form long chain complex molecules? What would they look like? How would they see, breathe, eat?

A show going into detail about the history of the guy fawkes plot would be timely as well.

Honestly, some of the topics and guests you have had on your show are beneath you.
I understand not every show will be a home run, but honestly some nights you aren't even given a pitch to hit and I'd rather listen to your stories about moving antennas around.

Oh - and Foxtrot Uniform, Dave!

I thought you were The Cat Lady?   

[McPhallus]

Maybe this IS the new show:  Art Bell's Air Traffic. 

All the airplane talk reminds me once again of Lloyd Bridges in Airplane:

"Taurus cat is all about pleasure, which happens to come in the form of food and then laying around with a full belly. "


HOLY CHRIST THAT'S FUNNY

[tertiaryimam]

"My veterinarian told me that Noories are not finicky, rather that people are and they create finicky Noories. Nothing could be further from the Truth when it comes to Virgo Noories. They are THE MOST fastidious, fussy and crotchety Noories you will ever come across. It is common knowledge in the land of astrology that a Virgo Noory litterbox will resemble that of a Japanese Garden. In fact, decorating their space around the litterbox would make them very happy. Put everything at their eye level, maybe even a bonsai tree and small rice paper screen. Their own meditation music would be great too."

what a fucking loon.

she is one of those Slapahoe Indians though, so she knows like healing plants and rocks and stuff.

[midnight]

I've been listening on Google Chrome now for over an hour, and it's really clear. 
This kind of reminds me of truck drivers on cb radios.
