Found this on Radio Garden as well. Sitting in Ohio looking at random isolated places. Did not expect this from Dali China, so on so forth, here I am. And I'll stick to this cuz it is nice.

It so nice to hear you. from Latvia

Wanna say hello and thx for being here - you're some kind of astral dimension of music.

e io l'ho scoperta solo adesso...(!) Da quando mi sono connesso la prima volta non mi stacco più.

Queste playlist come un profumo: aumentano la qualità dell'aria - 谢谢你

In addition to advancing awareness amongst aurally adventurous acquaintances, I've converted a significant number of local walking addicts, pushing sonic debris across their path as I dig out my backyard. Folks either quicken their pace to earn bonus exercise points, or stop by to discuss the weather. Great way to meet cool neighbors.

Hello remote operator,

Thanks a lot for your nightly work!

Your sounds exploration is a real pleasure to appreciate... Day and night! ;)

...It's impossible to predict what genre the oddball outfit - broadcasting from deepest China - will serve up next...

Shirley and Spinoza keeps my coffee warm.

The random injection of sound sometimes I let play through a very efficient microphone. It’s that good.

Pretty soon, we won’t even be able to look you guys up on the Internet!

I've been a huge fan and long time listener

(I'd say about 10 years now)

and would just like to thank you so very much for always inspiring and introducing me to an insane amount of music and amazing noises!

If there is ever anything I can do to help (besides donating) Let me know!

Greetings from the wild wheres of else! I've been listening every day for two years and this is the first it's occurring to me that this may actually be live! I always figured I was listening to the archives on shuffle. Anyways, really appreciate what you guys do! I use S&S to keep my pallet fresh while I compose my own music. It always inspires me to reach out into the weird and defy genres.

So many of my happiest moments in life coincide with S&S episodes that viewing the archive is like reviewing happiness.

I am currently reviewing the 17 year cicada episode and waiting for them to come back. Be well DJ.

Hi

just discovered your wonderful radio

you rock

I’ve been a listener for a couple of years. This is the best streaming radio I’ve ever heard. No, make that the best music mix I’ve ever heard, period!

Keep doing what you do (Woo woo woo wooo!)

I love this station! I found you many years ago on Winamp Shoutcast and have listened ever since. Thanks for introducing me to CARDIACS, Haniwa All Stars, Porest, Solex, BCO, and all kinds of other weird wonderful sounds.

I love listening to your radio shows - especially when they have some sort idea thread / theme / sense of story that I can imaginate further in my head. Tonight's show had that magic equation of really getting you to think of time and space ; then and now; distopia/ utopia... & you weave it all so well... your sense of timing, balance, texture and mood is really nicely developed.. makes me so happy to have stumbled across this Remote Operator human at the bottom of the world.

“...To get out of that rut, you need to turn to Shirley & Spinoza Radio..."

MusicRadar interview

PLeeease remote operator, continue for another magical hour! I'm having a great time in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Thanks!!!

I absolutely love what you are doing! Walking around the hills of Oakland listening to S&S makes me happy!!!

As always all i can say is you are not of this time. Radio straight from 3000-something as 3000-something should be like.

hei & hello from Norway,

Traveling through radio.garden almost every Wednesday and Thursday, when Watching the radio in our project space “antipodes café Stue” by the harbor downtown Oslo

and S&S is our absolute favorite. Can’t thank you enough!

So random.

I love this

It’s like mad magazine, but on the radio.

Chris from Easton Maryland

In a year of awful weirdness, thanks for some WONDERFUL weirdness.

Gratitude, from

The last couple years, I do feel as though we've stumbled into some sort of alternate universe. Facing a constant stream of such absurd happenings, what could 2022 possibly have in store for us? Perhaps the Lost Continent will resurface? The time travelers among us will be revealed? Or maybe just a major eruption of the Yellowstone Caldera?

Stay safe and well where you are, Fausto and thank you for the delight you bring into our daily lives.

Been a fan since 2008 - I am that guy who wont stop telling people about "that weird radio station" despite best efforts.

———

If I could pay back a penny for every minute of S&S content that I have enjoyed I would owe y'all a king's ransom.

Rally Bros. enthusiastically endorses S&S radio.

A pleasing melange of original programming (concepts?).

At least: I think it’s original.

God, how i love you, and I only found you 2 minutes ago so I don’t know the half of it!

At last, radio that somewhat resembles the contents of my mind, and music as varied and daft as my LP collection! It was metawirt on last.fm who told me about s&S, I’ll pass it on to all the other nutters I know.

Deep joy

Loving your work my friend. May you keep beaming them waves for years to come, may you keep radiating the strange, the funny, the tortured and the happy, the angry and the calm, through the lead curtains, the borders, the walls and their barb wires.

Hi Fausto,

Happy new year to you! So great to hear from you again. I missed your shows/programmes.

Best of luck for 2021 in New Zealand or where ever time will bring you on this planet. Wow, 15 years in China!

Well, may we all get our normal healthy life back soon. Such a drag.

Stay healthy and here is to many more great music and beautiful noises you will make into art again. You are the best. Thanks for your great work.

Thank you again and always for the unending new and old bizarre, yet normal to me hits. Without your show I am but a husk of mediocrity. Funny story, as I am writing this I am hearing a clip of Draculoid which is making me more verklempt for what you do. Hugs from Lincoln.

Don't want to stop. Ever. Have been listening to your station for 2 days, but the inspiration flow feels so much bigger than that.

de France, merci pour l'ensemble des productions que vous proposez à l'écoute ce jour 16 aout 2018 à 16h 30 (heures françaises). c'est un régal d'inventivité et les souvenirs de jeunesse reviennent à la surface, puissance et sérénité, Musical Révolution side one

It’s just the best radio I’ve ever heard! Absolutely amazing musical humour!

Thank you guys for producing such wonderful top-graded stuff!!!

The cool spunk radio that millennials don’t know of! keep it bitchin

May I just start by saying how much shirley and spinoza is a constant source of both inspiration and a musical breath of fresh air in a world that seems to encourage stale and generic music. Your curated musical streams of consciousness always excites and encourages us. so thank you so much for creating this little piece of heaven. I'm forever trying to turn people on to it, and i honestly don't think they understand what they are missing out on.

Hi, tuning in from Sydney, Australia. I found your station from spinning around a world map and seeing what was up in China. Bizarre. No idea what your story is, but great music anyway. What planet am I on, btw?

i have to repeat myself, thanks so much. this is an incredible collection of music and what awesome mood-switches.

cheers from that place where all the villains ave their bank accounts ... :D

Greetings from local mother ship 9. out in the atmosphere above your planet, searching through the little green dots that accumulate a great cluster of radio stations, we come across your transmissions. We like the sounds you play very much. People tend to think that most extraterrestrials are stoic and unemotional. Our ship is alive with dancing and laughter. Thank you for what you do. Keep it up, Shirley & Spinoza.

I have been enlightened !!!

I was recently introduced to the stream and have heard music I know as well as sound bites I recognize !!!

Glad I am not the only one that “Gets it”

True artists pursue their vision, no matter whether resulting in personal success or acceptance by the wider culture. You are true to your vision and that is what makes this great art!

Times sure have changed. Used to be we’d do a show by getting together in the same little KCIA radio booth with shopping carts loaded up with records. Now, the whole operation’s moved overseas and we’re typing into these little text boxes to make our requests. Well, here’s my request: more independently produced radio dramas. Where’s the commander and LIMN these days?

Shirley & Spinoza is World Cultural Heritage!

Never ever stop polluting air with waves so magnificent!!!!

This is the most wonderful thing I have ever encountered anywhere, better than sex, coffee, peace, love, and understanding.

What a wonder! This beautiful concoction floating in the ether, hailing from the remote outpost, the other side of the planet, a different desert, from here it all seems a dream, no mailing address, just a dream. Thank you for keeping the venerable s&S afloat.

Another beer,

another choice,

another tune,

another voice,

Shirley & Spinoza and us.

[received voice message]

I found you an hour ago by cruising around radio garden. So happy to hear your sounds, wondering, again, where-have-I-been.

Hey mate,

Just a quick, friendly note. I play your station while I'm doing my writing work, wherever I am in the world. And I've discovered so many new and amazing artists among the noises and tunes you so kindly put together and share with us.

Keep it going, man. We need you.

Love and peace.

Once again I want to give you my appreciation for S&S! It's such a

resource of inspiration for me, with a healing quality to it. I heard

you saying that S&S is played in some crises zones on the planet. So

maybe that's why. Your collection and selection of sounds and music

gives a really broad, beautiful, weird, diverse, absurd and funny

reflection of our existence. I find it fascinating how you and your

collaborators dug up all these things. Thank you!!!

I just want to say that I love this station and I’m so glad that I walked into Subrosa in Santa Cruz at just the right time to hear them playing this in the cafe.

Happily Exposed!

No increase in productivity

I would like to complain about the service that I have received from Shirley and Spinoza. Since implementing a compulsory listening mandate across all sectors we have found absolutely no increase in productivity. There has, in fact, been a noticeable decline in productivity from all employees and sub-contractors. As you can no doubt imagine, this is not at all what we were hoping for or expected.

Furthermore if you do- as you seem to claim- have 'the ear of the world's youth' I would suggest that it is beholden on you to prioritise scheduling of more morally instructive material such as the ever popular 'Sparky is thinking too much about trains'.

I discovered your station on Radio Garden yesterday. I was just spinning the globe and found it by chance. Feeling lucky I found you just in time! hope you get back on there. Keep up the great work.

Anon8774: i'm glad, sooo glad that this exists…. uhuuuu!!! thank you

————————

melek: when i switch on your radio station, i always need to jump five times..

————————

SonattaMorales: hmmm i’m loving this ….

————————

VonRoth: I wish I was able to turn this station off. It is just so addicting and amazing!

Greatest auditive experience since birth!

..from your friends in the black hole of culture, the place where great music is as rare as a Saturday night without a sheep-dipping. If it weren't for the inter-tubes and your fabulous radio station we'd give up all hope and just move somewhere where we could raise a good crop of dental floss.

My ancient boyfriend says, "This is the best radio I've heard since the Wolfman prowled the airwaves of Northern Mexico, selling baby chicks."

krin: we are French listeners. We wish you courage with all these technical problems ... we love you. We listen to you all day. You are the best radio in the world.

————-

anon2142: S&S will never retire! And even if, we will always have the selected shows on archive.org (that is, as long as the french gouvernment doesn't tag it as terrorism) to listen to ghosts of the past mumbling by.

————-

slowtiger: I'm sick, lying in my chair with fever, dozing on and off, and have this wonderful sounds invade my dreams. There's nothing better for this

...Once you’re used to the strangeness of the sounds, it is well suited for listening to for very long stretches. I have been tuning in to this station since at least 2003;...

link to mention in The Guardian

in the last sentence of an interview, synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani describes the 'sounds she currently lives in' including... "I listen to Shirley & Spinoza Radio. I love eclectic music."...

I’m your fan, I’ve been listening to s&S since 2013, you, guys, play the craziest music ever. I can’t believe that’s possible, you are totally unique.

With Love from Ukraine.

que maravilla. estoy absorto escuchando sus collages y sus exquisitas selecciones.

muchas gracias y saludos desde cuernavaca, méxico.

My favorite discovery is Shirley & Spinoza Radio out of Dali, China. It's weird stream of consciousness radio possibly (so not sure) from a guy who went to China to make folk recordings in Tibet, then COVID happened. - @ElAcordeonachi

--------------------------

After listening to Business radio in Mongolia that featured a fantastic Russian singer, I thought it was time for a “nearby” station in Dali, China and stumbled upon Shirley & Spinoza Radio. Dali, China? Where’s Picasso, China? An excellent Friday is off to a funny start. - @emh2625

--------------------------

I cannot get over how good this station is. There’s some genius at work here - jonathanhargreaves

Great uplifting stuff!!!

Rediscovered Shirley & Spinoza after 10 years or so, so happy it still exists, thanks for the fun music and please keep up the good work.

Regards from

Hi, I found out about your site from an article in The Guardian. I just love your music, it is so perfect! Thank you so much!

HEY guys- I found you through Radio Garden. We are in Bristol UK and we love you!!!! literally telling everyone that you may be the best, most quirkiest, eclectic selection in the actual world!!! Thank you for your commitment to music beyond the everyday. You give us the sounds that lift the soul!! No generic shite hoorraahh! Thank you for sharing such unusual music. You are a living breathing archive of sound and we salute you!!!!

BIG LOVE – xxxx

I hear a new world calling me!

Thanks to Moritz Rrr for guiding me your way! I love what you do and I already started to spread the word.

Thank you Radio Garden for bringing me here, I am feeling at home, I finally landed.

Thank you for your amazing work!

I’m one of the “worrying” ones that has been around for a long time.

Thanks for the THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of hours!

Anon3146: mutluyum ooo00ooooooo

Alienfreaknugget: Porest is simply brilliant. Thank you for playing. Just ordered a copy of Mood Noose.

blipvert: Hi there Remoteoperator! Just wanted to say, I discovered this stream about a week ago, and am loving it!

————————

bonggob: hell this is the most awesome webradio ive found

————————

kramerx: always great music…

Dear Shirley & Spinoza!!! If there would be a matter of choice to get just one radio for the entire life, it would certainly be you!!!

Thank you for delight, inspiration and unbelievable vibes!!!!

I can't wait to.......but first with all of the worlds radio accessible (and I didn't have to warm up my grandfather's shortwave radio!) I still found myself flipping stations constantly spending like a good 45 minutes just to find something that would be on for three songs. When I had this station on i considered changing the station but I just had to hear what's coming up next! That is beautiful Talent. AI generated stations amazing true but here's another case where the human touch really is irreplaceable. Thank you and with all that said I can't wait to hit some DMT!

Y'ALL ARE GREAT!

THANKS!

London & 104.4 Resonance-FM and now in remote outback Australia another FAN bloody TASTIC radio station to listen to !!!!!!

Loud and clear and do not fade

love ya’s

Transmission to Remote Operator stop

Have just completed initial round of exposure to latest broadcast stop

Detecting tentacle growth along spine stop

Ocular sensitivity in the infrared increasing stop

Evolutionary mutations expected to continue stop

I’m unable to reverse the effects but have decided to see where this goes stop

HandofDave over and out

So many wonderful gems in this feed; so few other streams on the internet half as unique.

Please never stop!

I live on a mountain top near Bisbee AZ and get your show on radio garden. It’s a swell soundtrack to my life, and fills a musical gap from the days of making b side mix tapes from piles of thrift store vinyl to counter the savage onslaught of pop cultures invasive influences. So yeah, thanks again!

I was listening and I was like ohh I like this and mmm sounds familiar , I even thought did I sample this? and then my voice appeared and oh no thats my song. Made my day, dreams come true. Amazing ! Loved it, so great hearing your sounds again.

I love this station! Where do you find the incredibly wide array of material?

Never stop!!!!

I'm still listening!

After counting the growth rings in one of the blood clots from my ears I've calculated it must have been nigh on over a decade now.

My girlfriend left me recently. Have you ever considered setting up a Shirley and Spinoza dating page?

It's bound to be a winner, I imagine the numbers of your eligible and attractive female listeners must run into single figures.

You do wonders. And yes, I am nodding at you speaking. People on the street seem intrigued.

Greetings from far away

Amazing musical experience! Thank you for sharing this. Keep it up dude. God bless you all…

Love from Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Since I discovered "Shirley and Spinoza Radio", I have become the life and soul of any and every party. Guys look at me anxiously from corners of the room, while fawning bimbettes seek my opinions on the music's inherent and delineated meanings. Life is good!

Awesome eclectic station. I have no idea what to expect next with each new song/segment. It’s an adventure!

Kudos,

Since mars 2020 i spend my life with you !!

There has to be a point where I have to stop thanking you and just accept that SS is and will always be a friend to mine ear clods. So one last final thank you. There. done.

I love you played Nurse with Wound.

It's our NYE tradition to tune in to Shirley and Spinoza radio in Dali, China. It's a very unique auditory journey - perfect for recapping the weirdness that was 2020.

Hey man! Love your station. I'm listening to it in my sewing studio in phoenix Arizona. I'm sewing up a bunch of giant curtains.

Last week u playing some mash up of insurance and lottery stuff. It was so funny... Love what u do man. Ur like an audio anthropologist.

This place feels like home to me.

I'm a fan for years and years.

Thank you for your fine work.

SS Radio is the best!

Sometimes when I am stressed out I turn on Shirley & Spinoza Radio and imagine I am somewhere else... anywhere else.

Thank you for this free therapy

Hi Shirley and Spinoza, I'm really enjoying your creations, and I explore alot with your new-level imagination in sense of inter-musical storytelling.

ola, love your show! only music radio I ever listen to! keep up the good work.

cheers

Been a fan since… maybe ’99? Started listening on my old bondi blue Yosemite G3. You have got to be one of the oldest radio stations on the tubes at this point.

Keep it up. If you die, please make sure the feed is set to repeat first!

I enjoy zipping around the planet on Radio Garden. I hang out from time to time with SS Radio -- thanks -- !

Dinner made to your sounds make dinner taste better.

hi i just heard your shout out for contact or feedback, i am from the uk. i only found your show a week or two ago and i am 100% hooked! i was beginning to give up on radio until i heard shirley & spinoza. i can honestly say that i have not heard a bad moment and i listen every day. keep up the great work.

I stumbled upon your station on my radio garden app.

I love the random sounds and snippets. It’s so different and interesting.

Keep up the good vibes!

I hope you’re having a good day.

I found your station while flying in Microsoft Flight SDimulator 2020, virtually around the world, I flew over Dali, China... and found this station on Radio.Garden.. Love it.. Im in NYC, would love a shout out.. Keep doing what you are doing..

Das ist ja wohl das Ungewöhnlichste, was mir zu Ohren gekommen ist. Die Adresse ist schon als Lesezeichen gesetzt, wenn andere Sender nur dudeln, dann seid Ihr dran. Die Auswahl ist gut, um Nachbarn im Garten zu ärgern.

"...Eclectic is an understatement! Fausto Caceres is the genius behind the beautifully-curated music collages and immersive soundscapes. He has a magpie eye…(or should that be ear?) and his picks will take you right around the universe of sound. You could find yourself listening to white noise, or ambient or some trippy-hippy stuff or an old standard. Whatever…it’s all extraordinary...."

-West Country ByLines

TOTALLY LOVED

STUMBLED INTO THIS VIA RADIO GARDEN

NEVER STUMBLING OUT

Hi friends. I have been absorbing the show now for close to a year at my work place and little do they know in my little cubicle, I am in bliss.

Fausto! How’s it hanging?

Just to let you know, your presence in our virtual wonderland ‘Curious Inc.’ in SecondLife has not gone unmarked! People often ask me ‘What is this strange nonsense on the airwaves??’

‘IT’S THE MEDICINE!’ I tell them, ‘YOUR ESSENCE IS BEING CLEANSED. ASHANTE IS WITH YOU!’

Good times. I’m thinking of putting up some promotional posters. Keep on keepin’ on!

sen sa cio na les ! ! !

Btw, I’m your fan, I’ve been listening to s&S since 2013. You guys play the craziest music ever. I can’t believe that’s possible!

You are totally unique

Preparing to go to the land that would rather never have spawned chomsky and folks of your ilk, so S&s will be my mind medicine innoculating me against going mental below the mason-dixon line.

Thanks ya’ll!! Yeehaw…
