This is what happened when I asked ChatGPT to write a country song about a trucker who has tea with Queen Elizabeth whilst they listen to BBC on shortwave radio. Then I got Chris Johnson, an extremely talented and savvy musician, to set it to music.

Tea With The Queen

A welcome song for rootIO sung by members of Gwoke in Patongo, Uganda

Station Song

I've only rarely heard the sign-ons of the Brooklyn Pirates due to their unpredictability and with one exception the programming just crashes in midstream. However just before 7:00 pm today (5/12/15) I caught a loop...a woman's voice repeating "La Voix du Peuple." After 12 minutes a stream started...went silent for 43 seconds and that started again. This station is on sporadically mornings and evenings. Earlier today on the same frequency. I heard a station possibly identifying as Turku FM with Turkic language programming and music. They went off earlier in the afternoon.

La Voix Du Peuple 91.7 FM Brooklyn, NY

A Track from a new project I've started, called Poppet. The lyrics will consist of ramblings on sorcery, rituals and folk magic.
A Poppet is a doll used in folk magic rituals as revenge.

Poppet - A Ritual Most Foul

Brooklyn pirate radio regular 103.1 was on the air with faint street noises for at least 30 minutes. Eventually, something metal falls on the ground, a door opens and two guys chat for awhile. Finally,  they seem to notice something's wrong. They go briefly to dead air, and come back with Soca, their regular programing.

An epic piano metal cover of Mr Brightside by the Killers. It's probably less of a cover and more of a complete butchery.
