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!?

Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S9+ signal and fair to pretty good audio amid tonight's noise ...

0121 UTC: "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails.
0122 UTC: "Art Bell" back and talking about grounding rods. This is a repeat of the broadcast from about 24 hours ago.

Fair signal in western New York, SINPO 33333, noisy

0127z   Just tuned in, "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC (tnx Shazam)
0130z   Sounds like Art Bell, "WWVB ... voice in the dark ... America on fire ... 86-47 on the National Mall ... in the weeds below 40 meters ... ", then Bell theme song at 0141z
0144z   Off

Missed most of it by tuning in late. Fairly noisy, only a few phrases made it through, and the final theme song.
