Wonder what the catch is? Watch out for those little stones, adventurer.

Broadcast throughout the country from a network of 90 FM transmitters (99.9 MHz is the channel's main frequency in Reykjavík), via satellite, and also streamed on the Internet, it is a radio station for a wider audience. It broadcasts news, music (mainly pop and rock), and sports programs.

## Channel description

Icelandic music is at the heart of Radio 2. The channel’s main function is to follow and cover new Icelandic music, play it, present it and talk about it. But it takes more than just the heart to keep us pumped. Our goal is to inform, educate and entertain. Radio 2 has from day one served as a significant voice in the daily discussion of all things Icelandic, keeping tabs on current affairs, culture and the daily public debate.

## History

Rás 2 was created in 1983, when the country's radio landscape was still dominated by the station that later became Rás 1 (the state radio monopoly only ended in 1986).

On March 31, 2011, Ríkisútvarpið introduced a major image change through a new logo , thus unifying all the channels belonging to the corporation.

## Availability

   Rás 2 broadcasts all over Iceland on ultra-shortwave on 92 frequencies , via satellite, on the Rás 2 website and on longwave on 189 kHz from Hellissandur and 207 kHz from Eidar.

## Programming

Rás 2 has a schedule composed chiefly of news, current affairs, and pop and rock music. Every weekdays, the broadcasts begin each day at 6 a.m. with a detailed 45-minute *Fréttir* (news), followed by the morning program *Morgunútvarpið*, presented by Ingvar Þór Björnsson, Snærós Sindradóttir and Hulda G. Geirsdóttir. Designed to wake up listeners, this program alternates information, practical services (weather, road traffic conditions), chronicles and music. At the end of the morning, the antenna is occupied by the *Poppland* musical program, one of the oldest and most admired music programs in the country (from 12:42 to 14:00, on weekdays).

* Morgunverkin (The morning chores) - Morning music session
* Fréttir (News) - hourly news and news summary (Fréttayfirlit), with morning news (Morgunfréttir), midday news (Hádegisfréttir), afternoon news (Síðdegisfréttir). Also sync with 19:00 Sjónvarpsfréttir (Television news)

Blame It On The Troubadour

**Producer(s)** | Unknown

**Blame It On The Troubadour** is an unreleased song by Stephen Sanchez from his *Angel Face* era.

## Background

Although played acoustically in early 2023, it did not end up on the standard *Angel Face* album.

### Connection to Album Storyline

*For context and more information, please read: The Story of Angel Face*.

"Blame It On The Troubadour" plays a part in the album's larger love story arc, as the album tells the love stories of many different characters between two distinct years. Here, it's about *Troubadour Sanchez*.

## Meaning

This song is about the protagonist seeing someone at the famous music venue in West Hollywood, USA, "The Troubadour", and falling in love with them. However, they leave and the protagonist is left imagining a life of what could have been.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You were the morning time

Warming colours all below

Laid gently on my heart

Has a hand made to hold

Your voice floats with ease

Like a favourite song I've heard

I could talk of the thought of you

Just to drown in all the words

[Pre-Chorus]

Still, I look for you

And everywhere I know

Still, I long for you

And, every day, I'm sure

[Chorus]

That loving you is breathing in, it's breathing out

It's waking up and it's lying down

Now, when I look, I can see it

Now, when I touch, I can feel it

Oh, Lord, blame it on the troubadour

[Post-Chorus]

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah

Blame it on the troubadour

[Verse 2]

I saw my whole life in a minute

And I saw all of you in it

Every step that I takе

Is just time that I waste

When I could bе spending it with you

If life's a currency

Then I'm poor as a fool

[Pre-Chorus]

Still, I look for you

And everywhere I know

Still, I long for you

And, every day, I'm sure

[Chorus]

That loving you is breathing in, it's breathing out

It's waking up and it's lying down

Now, when I look, I can see it

Now, when I touch, I can feel it

Oh, Lord, blame it on the troubadour

[Post-Chorus]

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah

Blame it on the troubadour

[Outro]

Blame it on the troubadour

## Trivia

* "Blame It On The Troubadour" was first performed acoustically on 31 March 2023 for *The Current*.

* Interestingly, a similarly named song did make it onto the album, "Death Of The Troubadour".

Terapedia Wiki/TV2 (Norway)

TV2 Direkte (or just TV2) is a Norwegian Over-the-air television channel, with headquarters in the Norwegian city of

Bergen. The first test transmissions of the network took place on September the 5th, 1992 with regular broadcasts starting the following day, breaking almost 58 years of NRK's monopoly as a result, and becoming the first-ever commercial TV broadcaster in Norway.

### The government's involvement:

2 years before the first broadcast, in 1990, the parliament of Norway allowed commercially financed competitors to NRK, with the first license being announced on 31st of January 1991, which was won by TV2 in the same year.

### Interesting fact:

The first ever programme to be shown on TV2 was the show For første gang (*For the First time*), which was also simulcasted on NRK, and as a result, the programme was seen by 1.7 million people.

S1E41: BUGGA. helpeven.org

## Description

Time is ticking, as the poison blooms.
Dr. Ze has abandoned his Honey Boy shell, and is racing across the castle on the neck of the chemist. Herry is holding off the entire brute force of the castle army- and Clan Zarg is in disarray as the call for Trevor goes out.
It's a mad race to salvage life and limb, and as long as Herodotus can hold 'em off, there's hope for Dr. Ze to get the antidote in time.
Or is there? It appears the poison and the ambush weren't the only bones the universe had to cast.
