Here is a link to that YouTube video of Days of Hard Life so you can “enjoy” it in all its weirdness

Yep. I keep hearing rumors that a real band that plays bars and clubs wrote and recorded it, but I swear it sounds like an angsty teen girl wrote it in her bedroom using Garage Band on her laptop.

The story I heard was that he was based right outside one of those huge military bases in the Mojave and got noticed very quickly for that reason, leading to a rare FCC bust of an HF pirate. He apparently did buy some time on WBCQ after that but it was very short lived, just one or two transmissions. After a while he was back on the unlicensed airwaves but apparently without molestation by the FCC. Not sure if it's still there or not, but I found "Days of Hard Life" uploaded to youtube taken from a recording of that one time he was on WBCQ. You know, if you want to download the audio for your mp3 player. Which I guess is your phone these days.

Holy pirate radio reports from the future, Batman! 
0028 death metal, judging from the growly vocals, but it could also be Pantera like everyone else is reporting. Signal's pretty poor but occasionally up to SIO 222 levels.

2357 Testing 1 2 3, barely copyable
0000 Wolverine ID into music
...
0028 "Walk on the Wild Side," signal is now up to poor quality, not sure if this is Lou Reed's version because the voice doesn't sound right to me, but that could be due to the signal. (Edit, per other posts it's Reed.)
0030 "Walk of Life" Dire Straits (signal improving, now fair to good)
0034 Wolverine ID into "Walk Like an Egyptian" The Bangles
0037 next song (not feeling like using Shazam tonight)
0041 that "Walking on the Sun" song by that 90s band.
0044 Wolverine ID into song I don't know.
0049 I remember this song...

What are the odds that we'll hear Pantera's "Walk"?

0053 Wolverine ID into "Walk Away" Tom Waits
0056 "Walking Spanish" Tom Waits (two Tom Waits songs? My cup runneth over!)
0101 echoey Wolverine ID into SSTV


Thanks for the show!

 bout equal to those of your President's Cup winners, the Florida Panthers, also being the 2022 Stanley Cup champions.

Separate station adjacent to Mix Radio, very good SIO 444 signal here. Electronic music.
0005 hearing station ID done in slow and fast voices, but I can't understand them. Music still playing

Okay S3 with the Fort Collins, Colorado KiwiSDR. S3 with the Canary Islands KiwiSDR.

^ That's pretty wide coverage for a pirate.

0016 updating station ID based on BBA's report
0021 sound effects like a siren
0022 QRT, or a pause in the broadcast. Not back as of 0023.

But very puerile and sophomoric compared to class acts like Ball Smacker.

None of the hams who behave badly (and they're all licensed hams) have any class whatsoever. Just entitled children in the bodies of middle aged to elderly men.
