 The best part is the guest programmers; a band or artist of whatever comes in and play whatever videos they want for a few hours on Saturday nights. Then they schedule a bunch of their videos after. Used to love taping them as a teen, hoping the three-hour limit would catch everything good.

 ===== Memories =====
-  * Seeing the video for //Loverman// with the vague memory that [[Nick Cave]] was Australian, and being surprised about it and how wild it was.

   * A live version of a [[Bee Gees]] song that was sung so badly by Barry it had an amazing sweaty punk atmosphere. In my memory it was at a festival with a big screen behind, but I've found a 1976 TV special with the same white outfits I remember and sweaty, straining falsetto that is probably it. Might be conflating it with the [[yt>SxPb6KDS9K4|1988 Nelson Mandela concert]]. Might be [[yt>cAJIsAo9qJ4|this '99 one]] too---
   * Seeing, and instantly falling in love with, //[[Like an Eagle]]// by [[Dennis Parker]] in 2012(?)
-  * Plus all those ant-memories: videos I saw once, was fascinated by, and never saw again.

-It's not perfect, but close enough for me. I still need to learn what font Rage actually uses, Nimbus Sans Narrow is just a sans-serif font I had to-hand. If I don't find it I could use the .ass subtitle format, which would allow me to distort the font a bit so it looks more accurate.
+It's not perfect, but close enough for me. Wish I could get the line spacing closer :(\\ I was trying to avoid that dopey .ass file extension, but I needed to use it to mess with the font dimensions a bit. I should've used a better base resolution, but oh well.

+With Kodi you'll need to install any fonts you want to use. In my case I had to put them in ''/usr/share/fonts''. And make sure you're not overriding ssa/ass subtitle fonts in Settings>Player Settings/Language/Override ASS / SSA subtitles fonts\\
+In newer versions of Kodi you can put the fonts in the ''~/.kodi/media/Fonts'' directory, I believe. Current Kodi versions support other font types, but I had to use TTF.

It is from Rage on ABC in Australia.]]. Info I got from the ABC is just that it's a custom font.
+  * I also asked about the font used for the captions, and was told that it's Eurostile. <del>I've ended up using Eurostile round, bolded it, and narrowed it a little. The rounded versions adds a little softness that fits better with my analogue-tinged memories.</del>actually in Kodi it's way too bold, so switch back to the not-round version. Regular Eurostile seems to be used in the credits though, without any condensing.
