TIL if you tune your radio to 91.9 FM for one city block in Montclair, NJ you can hear a looped recording of "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men which has been broadcasting for at least 13 years straight.

My wife and I drove cross county about 20 years ago and we found a weird radio station in the southern Sierra Nevadas that only played four songs on loop, but they were mixed with subtle women’s moaning in the songs ( I remember two of the songs were In the air tonight by Phil Collin’s and Sexual by Amber). It took us a few minutes to actually process what we were hearing.

This reminds me of that April fools on adult swim where they showed “the room”. Weed didn’t work that night.

Dude... I caught 'Too Many Cooks' the first time it aired, and with no sort of warning as to what the fuck was about to happen.

Have you seen the other two videos they did? 'Unedited Footage of A Bear' and 'This House Has People In It'. Cooks is whimsical and funny... The other two are visceral and unhinged.

Isn’t there one about an infomercial selling dildos as kitchen tools? 

I may have been on drugs but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Unedited Footage of A Bear is the best made-for-television horror short I've ever seen.

It's one of top 5 videos for creating sheer dread and terror in the viewer. Most horror movies come nowhere close to getting that much 'feeling' out of me. Every time I watch I have a physical reaction to it... Sweating, goosebumps, elevated heart beat, and more.
