89.3 The Current, the radio station that started the nationwide stream of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" the other day, has compiled a list of 893 essential albums, as chosen by the listeners. They're not releasing it all at once, so over the next week, they are playing one song from each album, in order from 893rd to 1st, I will update this thread daily as the albums are revealed.

edit: if you'd like to see the list update live, or even listen to the live stream, click these links:

As you may know, an increasing number of TBA users have been playing tf2 together recently, and we don't have our own private server to play on.  If I took the steps towards setting up a whitelisted server JUST FOR US, would you play?

please vote on this

also, if you are not a part of the tba group on steam, you can join here

if you have any ideas for mods/etc for the server, post them in this thread for discussion

cmon guys i haven't heard anything at ALL

[THE $13]

89.3 The Current is brought to you by MPR (Minnesota Public Radio)


OK so this is probably the first serious thread I have ever made, so bear with me.

89.3 The Current is the best public radio music station in the United States, probably the best in the world.  I've been listening to The Current exclusively for all of my adult life, and even longer. The Current is the only music source I listen to, and man, does it help me get through my long days at work (I worked 18 hours the tuesday before this thread was made), not to mention it is the main reason I haven't broken my foot off inside my boss' ass.

The Current has live DJ's 24/7, who put songs on in real time, not just the top 40, like most music stations do. There is no algorithm, there is no agenda, there is no commercials, and it is supported 50% by the listeners that support it financially, myself included. I pledge $15/mo. My father pledges $45/mo, and has talked about bumping it up to $50/mo sometime soon. 50%. That's more than they get from government grants.

The station has all kinds of special features, such as Random Vinyl, where they put an actual vinyl record on the turntable at 6:30 am every weekday, time-machine Tuesday every tuesday night, where they choose a random year and play an entire hour of music from that year, or like this weekend, Block-Rockin' weekend. Blocks of favorite artists, 3 songs each, all weekend long.

There is an MPR app on android and iphone market, free of charge, you can stream The Current, MPR News, MPR Classical, Radio Heartland, or Local Current, all of these streams are 24/7 and commercial free

The Current has a live internet stream, which is a mirror of the actual radio stream, you can listen to it here: http://thecurrent.org/listen
or, if you're still skeptical, check the playlist here: http://thecurrent.org/playlist

did I mention it was COMMERCIAL FREE?

Here's my guarantee: If you don't fall in love with this radio station in 60 minutes or less, I will give you THE $13*

not really

There are two kinds of people in this world..

where do you put the ketchup? me and my girlfriend are on opposing sides of this argument, what is your take?

this image is dynamic and will change every hour

Perhaps you remember the ircstats rtil used to do approximately once per year (or less)

the supreme and eternal leader is far too busy with his leadership duties that he has no time to do such plebian tasks, so I have done so myself

presenting, fully automated irc stats, updated HOURLY by our dear and beloved weedle

Stats here

first off, who has this game? i'd like to challenge anyone that does

are you drunk?

are you high? (medicated) i care not, i've been there, my friends

then post here and have no fear

i'll be posting here every time i'm drunk, (seeing as i've moved past my drug experimentation phase)

(don't be surprised if this thread gets moved to the funhouse)

so what's your poison, i'd really like to hear about it, no joke (im experienced enough in this field to know a thing or two) also it was a bad day today and i went from 0-drunk in about 4 minutes (seriously im drunk as fuck)
