One email a day from the deep end. What ran, what is coming, and whatever else the desk digs up. The tower stays warm whether you are listening or not, but this way you know when something good is on.

The Clock

Read this as layers, not slots. The blocks overlap on purpose: Graveyard Signal runs seven at night through four in the morning and other blocks play inside it, with the automation choosing between them by weight. The top lane is the one that owns the hour; tap a number in the second lane for what else is running underneath it.

The Artists

19 acts, 907 tracks. Counts come from the live library every time this page is built, so an act cannot claim a catalogue it does not have. Pulled Sep 28, 2026, 21:00 UTC.

How the music got made is not the gate. Some of this catalogue was written with machines in the room. Some of it was not. The station does not sort artists by method and does not intend to start.

What is asked instead: you made it, and you have the right to put it on the air. That is the whole standard.

// eighty years on the fringe

The Bleed

It did not launch. It leaked. A postwar signal nobody licensed, coming up through the floor of Nashville on a frequency that does not exist, and it has been playing ever since.

Every Signal Corps transmitter sold cheap off a surplus lot after the war bled onto frequencies the factory never intended, and for that first year every ham operator in three counties was chasing ghosts on his own dial. What came up through the floor of Nashville was not one of theirs. It found Nashville Below the way water finds a crack in a foundation, and it has been finding new rooms down there for eighty years. Nobody on the roster was hired. They just turn up already on air.

Graveyard Signal has run seven to four since the start, the hours after the building above empties out and the one below gets busy. The Custodian has kept the halls since before anyone on staff today started, and nobody has worked up the nerve to ask how long. Brother Dewey Sparks pitches his tent in that stretch too, invisible unless you already know it is there, preaching the same four minutes every night: the landlord left a long time ago and nobody told the office. Nothing on this station has learned how to perform for a crowd, and midnight to four is where that shows most.
