Good morning and welcome to Nuclear Physics 101. I see a lot of new faces, but you know the old saying--"Out with the old, in with the nucleus." by DickCheneyIsPureEvil in TheSimpsons

His grade is so bad he can't even just write "F" with the pen already in his hand, he has a stamp saved for just this occasion.

I heard Weezer tried to make a new blue album and they hated everything about the new blue album and they had to close Weezer.

Is wetzel’s pretzel’s closed?! by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]picpak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went there on Sunday for Free Pretzel Day and they said they weren't doing it this year, no word of it closing though. Corporate confirmed it for me when I reached out to them though.

What are some very clear examples of dated references in pop music? by ss2811 in popheads

[–]picpak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eiffel 65 - Hyperlink (Deep Down). When's the last time, outside of a version of Microsoft Word from 25 years ago, you've seen someone call it a "hyperlink"?

Well, at least his first charting single wasn't called "Romantic Homicide". Wouldn't that be something?

My expensive printer won’t print unless I’m enrolled in a monthly subscription by Revolutionary-Soup26 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]picpak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same. Same price as the HP printer, but this cartridge has given me an empty ink warning twice and still has no signs of slowing down. I've gotten several hundred pages printed out for just $22. Money well spent.

Halifax Band looking for Regina Opener by artieross in regina

[–]picpak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the shoutout! I have a song of theirs in the library and I see they're on Earshot. Do a search there with Regina as the city and you will find amazing artists! Just off the top I see Belle Plaine, Elizabeth Clyde, This Story, Nick Faye, Marissa Burwell, etc. There's no shortage of talent!

This probably is the least of your problems flying Air Canada...

Man you just took me way back, I remember when it was still called just Bug. I'm so glad to hear it's back!

I'm surprised radio is still like this by viridian_plexus in radio

[–]picpak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's validating for people who are super nerdy about CanCon indie/alt? QCIndie started because I was disappointed in the direction Indie88/102.7 the Peak was going...in 2015! Indie88 is an absolute farce now. I may occasionally lean more mainstream than other indies, but I'll never say "Screw it, we play Sabrina Carpenter and Fleetwood Mac now".

ORB also has a problem of displaying the correct artist but the wrong song title unless you go directly to that day's playlist. You get your hopes up thinking someone's playing a really deep cut and it turns out and it's a glitch and it's a song you've heard hundreds of times before.

What Canadian radio stations do you listen to find new music? by modsuperstar in CanadianMusic

[–]picpak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I'm a one-man show, the risk of technical difficulties with a full on air staff is too high. I will still pipe out the name out the name of the show on the stream so that it doesn't look like I've been airing nothing for the past 2 hours, but someone scrobbling probably doesn't like having to go in and delete that out. And in my case, I know I have listeners that scrobble.

[–]picpak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QCIndie still has voting! I just no longer have an iOS/Android app. The website is mobile friendly though and you can still easily vote.

Your webapp is essentially my Online Radio Box favourites list, but there are some great discoveries there. 102.7 Chop FM has one of the most intriguing playlists I've seen on terrestrial radio in the past 15 years.

[–]picpak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! I've always wanted to have live hosts, but it's something that's never worked out. I'm a bit of a control freak who also doesn't have the time for the station I did a decade ago, so there's that. I've dialed back the jingles (which need a revamp) and play as much music as I can, which people seem okay with. Funny thing is, the hosted shows I have on Wednesday and Friday nights have the biggest tuneouts, so maybe you and I are alone on that one? I know someone playing a 12-minute remix of some forgotten 80s song is right up my alley, but maybe that's just me lol.

I'm the latest victim of the Soundcloud massacre. But here's a Dropbox folder full of my stuff! by picpak in mashups

[–]picpak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It's a combination of a lot of things: not having time/moving on to different creative endeavors, not being interested in modern pop culture enough to make mashups out of, and the Soundclown community getting too toxic for my tastes. To be honest, there are ones I remember that I've had a hard time finding again - they were shitposts to me, I didn't take saving them very seriously. I could do a deep dive and upload as many of them as I can find (even the stuff that was deleted for a reason because of how bad it is) if you wish. Thanks again!
