For the first (and possibly last) time, I've got a bit of a (U.S.) Memorial Day special here.  Back in 2016, a viewer who was stationed in Germany in the early 2000's sent me a tape of material he'd recorded off the Armed Forces Network...it's only taken me seven years to flesh it out into an OA episode.

Anyway, I've posted as much of the ephemera from that tape to Archive Annex--some had to be cut out due to songs from major artists (including The Eagles and Aerosmith).

As far as the ongoing Quasar Great Time Machine project goes, it looks like I'm gonna have to push it back by a week--I'm still working on it.  So, I'm kicking around the idea of doing a livestream next week as a stopgap of sorts.  Lemme know if that sounds interesting and if there's anything of particular interest to go over.

Back on the Quasar stuff, there will still be two videos.  As it's working out, my little pseudo-documentary has unintentionally bloated to feature-length, so, be ready for the first-ever hour-plus OA episode.  As it stands, the standard OA episode on it will be a little closer to what everyone's used to.

I actually love the idea of the livestream next week. As a subscriber of just a few months shy of a year, I didn’t get to watch/see your previous livestreams at the time they premiered. I am also very excited to see the new video you just posted here, as I am a AVN nut (more specifically, AFVN). It will be cool to see this one.

A bit of a different (and, for some reason, very funny) episode. An interesting glimpse at something very few of us get to see. Thanks to your dad for his service. A livestream is always a great idea- especially if you play the guitar again. Switching gears entirely, today I learned that Cherry Amaretto Cordial ice cream exists (or at least did)- and now I want some.

This. Ben RARELY does Livestreams, I would LOVE to see him open to the idea of trying them out.
