If it gets down to it, Alex should do an Extra Life stream of just long distance trucking.

In the beginning it was Retro.fm (retrofm.ru), but somewhere around the news Alex accidentally switched stations, I believe. Or the feed was some kind of syndicated radio station that alternates between broadcasting Retro.fm and another feed, because the broadcast ID changed to something I couldn't hear (sounded like "Russkij Business" or something?) and the music stopped matching the playlist they have on their website after that.

Anyway, just wanna say that one of the songs they played has a music video that's pretty much literally synthetic life in an amazing way. For some reason video embeds seem to be broken right now, but it's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Xy2R8e-xw

It's a German band, and the age of consent there is 14 (16 if the other person is over 21). It's between 14 and 16 in most of Europe.

I'm not sure if this has been said before, but one of these days I'd love to see Alex do some space trucking in Elite Dangerous.

I am never again going to be able to hear even a snippet of that song and not associate it with that stream

Pretty sure Alex was bopping along to Little Mix at one point. I hope it was them at least, seems like a band would normally hate.

@mrmckrinkledink: Hearing him say "When we're out of this lockdown", knowing he's now left the site, hit extra hard.
