Local Forecast Playback - Apr 1996

All of them.

[@BBAERSTANCE1]

Whats vaporwave?

[@CatoMinemcrideisepic]

@@BBAERSTANCE1 music genre

[@AdhamOhm]

@@BBAERSTANCE1 Vaporwave is electronic music made to sound like it is from the 1980's or 90's. Sometimes the musicians will record it on reel-to-reel tapes or cassettes instead of digital recorders to make it sound even more authentic. For an example, listen to the song "Super Triangle" by The Go Team. It was made in the 2010's but it sounds like it is from the 1980's.

[@AnalyticalMenace]

There's something oddly soothing about these melodies. A sense that everything was gonna be okay, at a time when things were simpler and wholesome. Wholesome like a spring breeze blowing across your face as you're standing at the pond catching frogs in the morning. Man, I sure do miss the 90s!😭

[@michael57511]

Me, I miss the weather channel being 24/7 weather i miss them playing Jazz Music and now the weather channel plays too many dumb shows at night and weekends so i don't watch the weather channel that much anymore, I now watch Accuweather on Spectrum WeatherNation on Fire Stick TV and fox weather on Tubi and 3 of them are what the weather channel used to be before they started dumb shows and WeatherNation plays Jazz music kind of like TWC used to play and i hope WeatherNation plays Jazz music that TWC used to play.

[@chicagoeconomist1643]

In five years there will be weather reality shows like: Climate swap, and oops I married a hurricane.

[@vixey_riot]

I used to fall asleep to Twc back then. so relaxing. good memories of wishing a storm would blow in on the radar.

[@nightman333]

And sometimes, I used to stay up late at night. And rarely, they would play the rest of the song. It would throw me off, but a good treat nonetheless. Great music!

[@maverickg233]

For the date of this, I was 6yrs old at the time but this type of music grew on me really early to the point my grandma pointed out to me that im always on the weather channel just to catch the local forecast for the music. And its has stuck with me every since. But 2009 to me was the last good time I heard music from the channel I stayed on that channel alot especially when they had weather stories. Memories man I swear.

[@cc17926]

You're welcome! By the way the artist is Trammell Starks. . the music was written specially for local forecast and he sells the music to fans of his music :)

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

The '90s. What a decade! Watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, and flipping to The Weather Channel for tomorrow's forecast. Firing up the Sega Genesis to play Sonic the Hedgehog when there's nothing good to watch. Drinking a few cans of Surge and eating Cool Ranch Doritos.

[@Raichu862000]

The 90's were a fantastic time to be a kid. The Disney Renaissance, the Console Wars, the trend of everything being "X-Treme" from cartoons to food flavors... the overall aesthetic was so extra, but it just made it that much more awesome.

[@CorporalPig22]

The 90s were the good old days, especially for technology. With the arrival of 3D consoles such as the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, gaming was put on a whole nother level. The Internet revolution brought some of the greatest browsers whose legacies continue to live on today, like Netscape, Mosaic, and, of course, Internet Explorer. Another great leap forward in technology was Microsoft Windows 95 (which actually came with Internet Explorer). And let's not forget Mac OS 8 in its full-fledged 32-bit color, and the iMac with its colorful flavors like Grape, Strawberry, Tangerine, Lime, Indigo, Graphite, Ruby, and, of course, the famous Bondi Blue. Finally, adding to the Internet revolution was America Online and its Instant Messenger with the iconic running man, and everyone's Internet co-pilot, Mac OS 9. All in all, these technological advancements helped define the 90s as one of the greatest decades of all time.

Sitting on lunch break at my job listening to this brings back so many memories. I was 13 at the time this was recorded. Right about the time I fell in love with the weather. I can remember those nights of watching the local forecasts seeing if a big storm was coming. I miss the 90's weather channel music so much!

[@majalcarie7091]

I have this super vivid memory of vacationing in Sanibel Island when I was 12, and that first night in our condo, the weather channel playing with tide charts. It’s one of my favorite memories- the excitement to come when we went to the beach the next morning, and the smell of sun lotion and snacks, and the weather channel music playing as I fell asleep.

[@ashtonv3915]

This may sound really dumb but when I was in Florida as a kid around this time I was at a hotel with my parent and my little brothers, we went Disney world later that day. But I remember this particular song coming on. (7:25)I literally couldn’t get it out of my head, As I grew up, I still remember that addicting song. Idk why but I’ve been searching for it for years! Now I finally found it!! Thank you so much.

[@DannyBoy-nz2mi]

My brother and I would come home from our Sunday morning paper routes before sunup. We would watch the weather Channel and see how chilly it was! Great relaxing music, like everything is great and you're almost guaranteed to have a relaxing day thanks to the weather Channel! My brother has since passed and memories are golden... RIP to Jeanetta Jones and Dave Schwartz.

The 90's kicked ass. What great times.

[@AztecCamera2]

11:06 is definitely a Trammell track. As the uploaders description confirms. One from his three disc Music For The Weather Channel collection. I don't think it has a title. It's my understanding that Starks didn't actually name the tracks. TWC named several of them, but only the ones that saw frequent airplay. To this day the majority of his songs remain untitled and are often referred to by their corresponding track numbers as they appear on Music For TWC.

[@BroadStBully194]

Man oh man. This hits me right in the feels. Particularly because I grew up in South Jersey and this is the exact same forecast I would see.

[@TheRabbitMonk]

I remember when they use to play christmas music around mid december. I remember on the nights of a possible snow day and school being closed keeping an eye for that weird white asterisk symbol and white area on the radar coming over my area. I remember this channel being something my grandma and grandpa use to check frequently. I remember it all. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing but I can't help but to smile and feel happy when I think about old local on the 8s. Thanks for the memories, glad I at least got to experience it.

[@madlaker1]

I miss these songs from TWC, that first song, I still find myself humming in the shower sometimes out of nowhere, like this morning and I always mean to check KZbin to see if someone uploaded it. Sure enough here it is. Thanks uploader for the nostolgic gratification. Good times, not necessarily better for me at least.

[@davisbowe8668]

Reminds me of spending the night with my grandparents in the early 90's. My parents didn't have cable at the time but my grandparents did, but Cartoon Network wasn't a thing so as a kid I usually just left the TV on The Weather Channel when I was going to sleep. This brings back so many feels.

I probably came to this channel in April 1996 to try and sleep for School, or during April 'Spring Vacation'. I was always up late at nights. I remember Summer of '96 I was obsessed with the movie Independence Day (ID4). I saw it 4 times in theaters. I would turn to The Weather Channel at night those Summer nights to fall asleep to the relaxing music. Which is why VAPORWAVE is so nostalgic. Almost all the sounds from every Vaporwave song I feel like I've heard at one point during my Childhood.

I was 10 in 1996, and during those few months I went through a phase where I was absolutely terrified of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes (thanks a lot, "Night of the Twisters" and "Twister"!). I was obsessively watching the Weather Channel day in and day out any time the I thought the weather looked like it was about to turn bad. I eventually snapped out of that phase, but almost all these songs by Trammell Starks still remind me of that time.

[@janejane2010]

The Weather Channel used to calm me down when I was a little kid. I’d have nightmares as a kid and my grandpa (bless it he usually heard me screaming from these nightmares) would rock me and hold me and turn on the weather channel and I’d go back to sleep. Not sure if it was because my grandpa would be holding me or if the weather channel was mesmerizing but I’d usually go back to sleep
