tell me about ur ocs! if they had car radios in their boats/carriages/horses/assorted transportation what would their preset radio stations be....

well there's an approximate boatload of these people from my head (current estimate from my files says there's 34 of them...) so I shall answer this for the fellows that that I really have answers for!

Joe and Spike are both around for the age of recorded music, but they have quite different taste -- this is difficult given that Spike is the one who can actually interact with things that play music. (Joe's ectoplasmic form can exert force on objects, but he's not so good at the kind of precision needed for small buttons, he can't use touchscreens, and he's more likely to just drip slime on something or inadvertently melt it than actually use it correctly.)

so in the end it's usually Spike's choice of music between the two of them, which is lucky because it's their preferred music that actually gets played on the radio more often. shipwreck steel is a story about the Bay Area at the heart of it, and since it's set in the middle 2010s, KFOG is still on the air, since its regrettable downfall in 2019 hasn't yet come about.

most of the time these two spend together is in the RAD room, and that's what Spike will play when they've got a chance to do so -- cheerful alt-rock all the way down, or maybe the local college radio station for some variety! on their own, they prefer more blues and country-influenced rock, while Joe likes most anything you can dance to...

[also they have a playlist, though it's a story-vibes mix rather than entirely what they'd actually be listening to]
