@Brian_Mahoney I started thinking about older punk bands like #CRASS because I swear there were a couple of songs with #NumbersStations recordings under them, can't confirm though.

@blogmywiki I love this so much. #NumbersStations are one of my favorite things ever. So creepy, but so critical at the same time!

The conversation between @brewsterkahle and @ftrain tonight about audio in the @internetarchive (i.e., https://tilde.zone/@ftrain/109334575222319445) has had me thinking about some of my own favorite bits there:

* Audio from the #Great78 project (some of the best: https://archive.org/details/georgeblood) but especially early blues recordings (https://archive.org/details/georgeblood?&and[]=subject%3A%22Blues%22)

* #NumbersStations (https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22numbers+stations%22) are a minor obsession going back to a childhood spent listening to my grandma's secret short wave radio.

@vortex_egg Arthur C. Clarke suggested something much like this in a sci-fi short story in the 1960s or 1970s. A search for extraterrestrial life found a set of systems in which there was a constant, uniform, random stream of radio communications. The interpretation was that these were in a state of conflict, and that in order to thwart traffic analysis, the worlds would transmit all the time, with messages determinable only to the recipient(s) with the decryption key(s). (The story predated PKI, so presumably symmetric encryption.)
