Hello, yes, I totally am the original Weekly Album Stream streamer. Today, we listen to Foyer des Arts - Die Unfähigkeit zu Frühstücken.
Good album.
The album was released in 1986, a few years after the Neue Deutsche Welle fell out of fashion. It was finished earlier thouch, but Foyer des Arts couldn't release it, because their label said it was too experimental or something, but their contract said they couldn't release it anywhere else, so as soon as their contract expired, they released it on some indie label. But it was way too late, since the NDW movement by then was long dead, buried by a flood of low quality imitators - lots of them way more popular today than Foyer des Arts. If I was in their shoes, I'd be really butthurt about this.
Album starts at 17:00UTC, pre-stream starts now-ish.

The Dad Horse Experience - Too Close to Heaven (2008)

A "Dark Cabaret" band.
Wikipedia says the following:
"Dark Cabaret, also called Cabaret Noir, is a collective term for bands that blend the aesthetics of decadence from the Weimar Republic era, as well as elements of cabaret, burlesque, and vaudeville theater, with the attitude and style of punk, indie rock, folk, metal, gothic, and death rock."
In any case, we're not dealing with rock, metal, or punk here.
Good album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcYQC589DSQThe Louvin Brothers - Weapon Of Prayer (1962)
Good ol' country and bluegrass music about god and patriotism.
Wikipedia:
"Their songs were heavily influenced by their Baptist faith and warned against sin. Nevertheless, Ira Louvin was notorious for his drinking, womanizing, and volcanic temper. He was married four times; his third wife, Faye, shot him four times in the chest and twice in the hand after he allegedly tried to strangle her with a telephone cord."
Good album.

On Friday at 17:00UTC ErnstTV will make a comeback. This is possible thanks to the discovery that with OBS you can stream content at low bitrates, which are barely higher than your usual audio stream. The unconfirmed assumption is that multiple listeners/viewers at low bitrates will have fewer problems than a few viewers at high bitrates, although the overall load would be roughly the same. It is possible that individual connections are throttled under high load. This would explain why 10 radio listeners with around 200kbps each never have any significant hiccups, but a single viewer in a video stream with 2000kbps in some cases has so many problems that it is basically impossible to watch.
The stream will probably last nearly an hour, there will be games, and a little demonstration of OBS' capabilities. The bitrate will be so ridiculously low that I would have said a week ago that it could never work. I recorded all the stuff locally during my experiments, it all looks relatively good, and in theory what you record is identical to what you stream. In theory. Ernst is interested in comments, especially with regard to hiccups and general video quality. Remember that you need a player that can handle mpegts format and xspf files, for example VLC. Browsers usually do not support this.
Of course, it could be that the cause was something completely different and the whole thing will go horribly wrong. But then you'd want to watch it all the more, wouldn't you?

After the Weekly Album Stream, there will be another ErnstTV test. Thanks to the switch from mpegts to matroska/mkv, video streams can now also be watched directly in the browser. The following will happen today: Ernst will be streaming Slay the Spire for a while, commenting and playing music. The audio settings will hopefully be more fitting than last time. The bitrate will be kept to a minimum again, because we want to test whether low bitrate streaming works without interruptions. So, stream quality won't be great, the aim is to stream at a level that is still acceptable. If you're watching, please provide feedback:
- Can you watch the stream in the browser (control elements available, full screen possible)?
- Can you watch the stream properly in VLC or whatever?
- Was the audio/video quality too poor to watch, or was it tolerable?
- Any stream blackouts?
Some of the links in Icecast (direct link, m3u8) may not work. The front page integration on EC has also not yet been adjusted. For now, it is important that browser and VLC work. The video stream should be displayed directly on the radio home page, pics related:
