It’s gonna take a bit of explaining, so bear with me.
You guys know Al Jazeera, right? The news channel that everyone loves. Well uh… in the 2000s, they had other non news related television networks. A series of sports channels, a documentary channel, and… a children’s channel (we’ll call it JCC for short). Depending on the time period, at night they don’t broadcast programs at all, and instead they aired an animated test card that looped all night long. Before 2009, it looked like the EBU color bars, but they actually made it seem alive. I don’t remember that one very fondly. From 2009 to about 2012-13, it was just the channel logo in a night setting, but with extremely soothing music (a remix of the channel’s theme song) and sound effects that actually genuinely made me fall asleep on multiple occasions.
I actually managed to find recordings of both test cards on this French website, right here.
As a kid in Australia a fan.
As an adult, a fan plus tinnitusI heard there was a website called only fans, you might be eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenterested
Always down for a good blow
Assuming there are no power issues, sleeping with fans is much cooler than not sleeping with fans.
Bugs bunny and Friends sing The Beatles.
As a kid? My drunk dad fucking shit up downstairs. Falling down the stairs. Throwing plates at the tv.
As an adult? “Hey it’s Josh from Lets Game it out! Today we’re checking out Satisfactory! So NEW GAME!”
Haha, I love how Josh finds ways to break games that are still in early access. Like, he’s not actually playing the game, he’s looking for an exploit or a way to break the framerate.
Sorry to hear about the way your house sounded at night growing up.
I had different audio cassette of Airwolf where they told the story from the episodes in audio form and in German. I would listen to them when going to sleep.
Today I fall asleep seconds after I hit the mattress because I’m so exhausted every day, no time to listen to anything :D
Vin Scully(Dodgers), Dick Engberg(Angels, Rams), Chick Hearn (Lakers) and Jiggs McDonald(Kings) on my 9 volt transistor radio well hidden under the covers. So well hidden that it ended up switched off and in the drawer by morning.
Breeze, rustle of leaves, sounds from birds and insects. Fan if no breeze.
Robot chicken. Now, I usually have on some kind of space documentary, creepypasta or some long gameplay videos.
Shitty hair metal like Dio, Dokken, etc. It reminds me I had really, really shitty taste in music as a teenager.
Hundreds of bullfrogs croaking the night away around a nearby pond. Now if I hear a bunch of frogs I get nostalgic.
Reeeeee! Haha
The Star Wars audio cassette. No idea what it would do for me today, but I miss that tape.
Now I just listen to rain or ocean waves on Alexa.
You should try to find it, is it on Youtube if you search it?
Like
Star Wars [name of episode] original sountrack
Lets make this happen for ya 🤠
It’s not the soundtrack. It’s like, the radio play or something. I can still hear the narration.
Vader grips the rebels throat
“We intercepted no transmissions. This is a consular ship. We’re on a… diplomatic mission.”
Almost certainly this:
Which episode or work?
Episode IV? Do you know anyone who voice acted in it?
They produced episodes IV-VI. Mark Hammill and Anthony Daniel’s were among the film cast who reprised their roles.
It’s really good.
I had Episode 4 and maybe 6?
Who voice-acted do you know?
Other than the narrator it was all original audio from the movies I think. No idea who the narrator was.
It’s incomplete, but it’s here: https://youtu.be/72rovnIg85k?si=NZxuz7VqM4GjKaZp
I think it’s this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_Star_Wars
Recording of waves or white noise from a fan.
The never ending story!
I barely remember it.
as a kid, current favorite music or radio
as an adult, science podcasts, movie directors commentaries (ridley scott, francis coppola highly recommend), select rain sounds and currently the watergate senate hearings
The Doctor Demento Show! And they’re all available online!
If there is any discernible pattern to noise it keeps me awake (talking, music FUCKING STUPID MOTHER-FUCKING NIGHT BIRD). I use a noise machine with white noise or fan sounds running. Creates a lovely sound blanket from that mother-fucking night bird.
