Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

Fine...I'll play something that shows off the transmitter.  Steely Dan it is!  Playing Steely Dan through the transmitter was what sent me down this rabbit hole, you know.
