Goooood Morning Periwinkle! I'm your guest host, Lolz Robredo Funni, coming at you with some tangy beats to celebrate Chroma's birthday!
First is a request by /u/TheAllStarrBand for some "groovy tunes dude, and make it tangy". I'd be happy to oblige!
#Here's Whodini with Magic's Wand!
Wow! What great music! Hey, you there, Mr. Technician? Yeah? You know that graph in the corner? The one with seems to be plunging?
Oh? That's the listener count?
Ah, well. And now, a request by /u/a_flock_of_goats, for some "really sick beats man". I can do that, matey!
#Here's Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer with Straight outta surrey!
Wow, that's a lot of sparks. I hope this equipment isn't expensive.
Anyway, the Empress /u/sahdee herself has requested this very tune. Wow!
#Here are some goats screaming like humans!
Now, we don't have much contact with our absent friend /u/5t3v0esque, but I have just recieved a transmission from him laying out a new direction for GMP. Every single post from now on will contain this very song:
Hey all you free Winkles. In case you were wondering what my favorite band was, it's Thrice. Now, here is an acoustic version of my favorite song of theirs.
Here's Stare at the Sun Acoustic by Thrice. Enjoy free winkles.
Good <insert time of day here> to all you gentle-peris and lady-winkles, Z here bringing you the latest updates and news. Same thing but whatever.
Alright, so last night we had a few battles going boom, so here are the results of such.
- | New Faction | PW Score | OR Score |
---|---|---|---|
Terra | PW | 1 | 0 |
O'Shaughnessy | OR | 1 | 3 |
Reddo | PW | 5 | 0 |
Not liking the look of Owotever being in the hands of the Orangies. No matter, The Periwinkle force has re-invaded and will be on their way to victory sooner than you can learn to pronounce O'Shaughnessy.
Speaking of invading, one more battle are on the schedule, which is Cinnabar Cape! I even heard one guy was planning on opening a cinnamon roll shop in celebration. First roll's on me, guys.
In other news, the GEC has formed and are on their way to becoming a great rebellion community. They're searching for a new flag, and the contest for such is hosted over on the GEC sub. https://redd.it/40oxsc
Up in Anglona, Almond AFB has started it's construction. Heard it was gonna be huge! We'll just have to see.
That's it for today's news everyone!
This is Zwoosh the giraffe signing off, wishing all you folk a good day/night.
Greeting out there to all the people listening to this right now. Yes, I do mean you. And you. You in the back? Yeah, you too.
As I speak, battles for O'ShaughnessySaysGhtuy, Reddoran, wage on. There's one is Terra too, but no one cares about that. Things are getting intense out there. My heart goes out to all the soldiers on the front lines.
All this fighting is making me hungry. Anyone else? I'll probably make some Mac 'n Cheese, or at least some Pizza Rolls. Enjoy.
This is Zwoosh the Elf signing off, wishing all those out there a good night and/or morning.

Ninja edit: I actually am hungry though, wouldn't hurt my feelings if someone sent me a coupon for Wendy's
What's up you fine ladies and gentlemen of Chroma!
It's been too long since I've been here but I'm back and- oh. What's this? This place has certainly seen better days. There's dust on the shelves, and mics coughs
No matter. We'll get this place back on track.
Speaking of tracks, here's one that you can move your behind to.
Now I certainly have to get to cleaning.
This is Zwoosh signing off, and wishing everyone a good day from here at GMP.
Evening all you beautiful Winkles out there. Got a request from a very special person here at GMP. It's our very own /u/5t3v0esque who is out exploring! Here's to hoping your mission is going well my friend!
Hey there all you 'Winkles. Foggy here coming to you live aboard the Vigilance with a bit of a report from the front lines. We've solidified our hold on the Gray area as our troops currently fight to hold onto Plateau de Sol. We also took Reddoran Bay from the Reds.
Hope you all are having a fine night, here's what everyone aboard the Vigilance is listening to right now. From punk legends Anti-Flag, comes the song Sodom, Gomorrah, Washington DC(Sheep in Shepherd's Clothing).
Stay safe out there everyone.
Hey there all you beautiful 'Winkles, I realized I haven't been giving you your daily dose of music, I apologize. So, with that, I give you a song I just heard tonight and fell in love with. Here's the Swellers with The Best I Ever Had.
Stay safe and tangy out there my fellow 'Winkles.
The periwinkle forces tried their hardest and the end result was a repeat of the last battle, the ORs being forced out of every sector of the archipelago!
Sectors 5 and 7 seemed to get the most action, with multiple raging battles going on in both sectors. We are currently anticipating news on where the next action will take place. While you're waiting, here's Black Widow by Cage the Elephant!
After the Orangereds were crushingly defeated at the Archipelago, they've launched a counter-attack. The battle will take place at 4:23 tonight EST. Click the link to convert that to your time zone.
If you haven't already, you can use this link to send your troops to Terra so they can fight tonight.
Now here's one of my favorite battle tunes, Parting of the Sensory by Modest Mouse. Good luck tonight everyone o7
One of our senior members here at Good Morning Periwinkle has recently announced his leave and I felt it was appropriate to leave a few words on the radio. Redis's influence is clear by just looking on the sub. You can see the sidebar picture including his name and his place on the modboard.
Redis was an essential part of our team and will be greatly missed. We at GMP wish him the best of luck in the future.
With that news, I bring you a short one: Bye by Elliott Smith.
Good evening Periwinkle! This is Rockdale checking in on y'all once again.
Got a request from /u/AberrantWhovian so here's Undertale OST - Dummy! Extended Version
In Chroma related news the Council of Karma has voted to void the recent battle at O'shitidontknowhowtospellthis meaning we'll be fighting that one again soon. No news on when however.
Thanks for listening my little peris! Until next time this has been Rockdale with Good Morning Periwinkle!
Good morning/evening, Periwinkle!
Interesting note... On this day in Periwinkle history in 1992, Marshals /u/tiercel and /u/meshugganah (retired) were both drunk and passed out in pools of vomit at their respective universities. Can't confirm, but it's quite possible that /u/l_rufus_californicus was as well.
And, also, this catchy tune might have been playing on the radio. One of my favorite videos:
Enjoy!
Suzanne Vega- Blood Makes Noise
P.S. - Congratulations to the Periwinkle armed forces for their FERTastic victory earlier today in (insert new territory here)! Well done! (:
Make sure to send your troops here! To check what time the battle starts go here. Unfortunately, I will most likely not be attending. I might stop in on mobile if I can. I'll be rooting for you all elsewhere, though! And with that, here's some music that's completely inappropriate for the occasion. Animal Collective - Banshee Beat.
Haven't posted in awhile and just wanted to check in. Sincerely hope you all are doing well and will continue to do well. In other news, a potential plug.dj replacement is supposed to launch tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. With that, here is This Modern Love by Bloc Party. One of my current favorite songs, truly beautiful.
Yesterday, plug.dj went down for good. For those who don't know, plug.dj was a site that let users play music in a community. At GMP, we used this to play music since the start. While it wasn't always active, it was a staple for battle banter and will thoroughly be missed by me, and many others.
The good news, however, is that there are alternatives to plug.dj. Right now I'm kinda experimenting with one called dubtrack.fm. This link to our community should work. There are a lot of things I don't like about this one compared to plug but it works for now. Turn.fm is a site being created for the purpose of replacing plug but that's not up yet. I'll definitely be looking into that one in the future so be ready for more news on this front.
Hey all you Winkles out there! Hope your day or night is going by wonderfully. Time for a bit of music to brighten up your day if not! Here's a personal favorite of mine, with Minus the Bear's Cold Company.
Enjoy and keep up the good fight!
After some final preparation, the Chroma Olympics VI finally started this Friday and will continue for this week. Make sure to take part in the wonderful events over at /r/Chroma_Olympics, it's a lot of fun! With that wonderful news, I bring you all a great celebratory tune; The Nights of Wine and Roses by Japandroids! (and yes I know I've already posted a song from this album not too long ago. I swear I'm not running out of material, I just really like this album.)
Been a while since I have done a GMP post, so, I give to you one of my favorite remix/unauthorized collabs. Today's listening for all you good Peri's out there is a song originally by Frank Ocean, with a feature by Intuition.
Here's Swim Good by Intuition.
After 4 riveting sets, /u/tehbrony5 pulled periwinkle through in the last battle to win the tournament.
Game 1: /u/TheAllStarrBand vs /u/Uber_Ober
The Orangereds were short two players, so Uber had 4 stocks and Starr had 2. Starr knocked off Uber's first two stocks before being taken down.
Game 2: /u/KRAy_Z_n1nja vs /u/Uber_Ober
Using his two remaining stocks, Uber put up a good fight but Kray took him down with one stock remaining.
Game 3: /u/a_flock_of_goats vs /u/C2ke
Cake volunteered to fight for the Orangereds, a valiant decision. Foggy had 3 stocks, using Kray's last stock because Kray had to leave. After a nail-biting match, Cake won with 2 stocks remaining.
Game 4: /u/tehbrony5 vs /u/C2ke
Cake took our savior to his last stock in a riveting Villager ditto but our savior took him out, winning the battle for the periwinkles.
You can find the commentated chatlog here.
With that glorious news, I present to you Dimed Out by Titus Andronicus. A true anthem of a song.
/u/SirGuyFawkes's face right now.
The Orangered vs Periwinkle Crew Battle for Smash Bros 3DS starts tomorrow at 10 PM EDT, if the ORs cooperate. Team leader for PW, /u/TheAllStarrBand, a Toon Link main from Pervinca has been reported saying that he will single-handedly 2-stock OR team leader /u/SirGuyFawkes.
GMP radio DJ, /u/a_flock_of_goats, will also be playing to represent the Viridian-Vermillion Union.
With that news, I bring you Monster by Kanye West.
Goood mornin' to everybody!
If I ever choose to leave Chroma for good and officially, I think GMP will be the last place I leave behind. There's just something so rewarding and nice in sharing songs I care about to other people. Even if just one person listens, I can say my mission was complete.
That said, here's one of my most recent favorites. I went to this guy's concert a few weeks ago and this really hit me for some reason. It's in Estonian though. Hmm..
I'll see what I can do.
Until then: Vaiko Eplik with Homne Päev
[Edit]: Made a translation. Beware though, translating is more difficult than it looks. Did my best though.
In today's exciting nature walk into Emerald Heights battle, the Periwinkles pulled out a slight victory over the Orangered forces!
With that bit of news, I bring you The House That Heaven Built by two fine young droids from Japan.
I present to all you free Periwinkles, some relaxing music. Remember to keep fighting that good fight Winkles!
The Orangered armies march on the island soon. The weather reporter, /u/Silentkillar, has reported heavy rainfall for today's fight. With that news, I bring you Riders on the Storm by The Doors. Good luck to our heroes fighting today.
I am your station manager! My vision for this station is to do whatever we can to bring the word and news from the battlefield and beyond. And also have wonderful music for our citizens! I hope I am a good manager for you all!
Mornin!
Don't know about you, but where I am, there are summer music festivals everywhere. (Well, I say, everywhere, there is one going on right now and one coming in August, but that's still quite a lot for the small Baltics)
So what better way to celebrate that than to share a chill indie summery song, in contrast to all of the electronic mainstream stuff (generalising , of course) in the air right now.
Show 'em, Tom!
