In 1991, William Gibson (who coined the term "cyberspace" in his 1984 novel <b>Neuromancer</b>) said "It wasn't until I could finally afford a computer of my own that I found out there's a drive mechanism inside — this little thing that spins around. I'd been expecting an exotic crystalline thing, a cyberspace deck or something, and what I got was a little piece of a Victorian engine that made noises like a scratchy old record player."

It is now 2014. And when Aperture is emptying the trash, it still makes noises like this.

It is still 2014.

Dawn Capstick, Twin City Monuments, on behalf of Crystal City's Proposition E to support police and firefighters.  This radio spot will start playing on KJFF on Monday, March 16th.

Crystal City MO Tornado Sirens

This is the "all clear" tone our tornado sirens play when the threat has passed. (Not very comforting, IMHO; sounds like aliens are attacking and it's time to form Voltron.)

Crystal City MO Tornado Siren - All Clear

A great 1970's-esque station ID announcement.  Used at WXLO, the AM radio station operated out of Northwestern University's Communications Residential College, now known as WXRU.  I digitized this and many other clips from a box of obsolete NAB audio cartridges in CRC's basement.
