Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

When my wife asks why I just took $60 out of the ATM:

I love this song so much that I'm more than willing to admit that if we had a "Song of the year" in the vein of the best-of show, this would be my pick for this year. I'd be curious to know what your own pick from this or any other best of show. infactedrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-fool

This weeks RSA is online! Got hit by the stomach flu truck this weekend, spend most of it in bed feeling miserable. But I had the show completed, just not posted. Sorry for the delay! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

Old, but timely. Death Sentence is basically a forgotten BC Punk band. 2 discs, and unfortunately their singer OD'd in the 90s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHWb...

The sound quality is atrocious, but I still love Raggadeath. The video is a "spot the Toronto location" game. I see a lot of River St. Bridge www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD59...

First comment panel for the year. Got to make it count.

This weeks RSA is online! And we're back with the first show of 2026! For once when I started going through my inbox for material to play this week, there wasn't a huge backlog. Maybe after 28 years(!) of doing this show I've managed to learn a bit. synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

That's discrimination, bud. After I've had a dart and finish this beer we'll have a scrap.

The best of Real Synthetic Audio for 2025 is online! Welcome to the annual best of show! I got some great suggestions from people, and had a few "obvious" ones written down for months. So enjoy this slightly early show as my Christmas gift for you all! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

It's one of the reasons @digitalgeist.com tolerates me.

I'm testing if my notebook battery is on its way out. So I introduced Pickles to CatTube as a way to not waste electricity.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get more involved in fighting creeping Christofascism, clear your schedule on January 10. The last time these ding dongs tried to march at Christie Pits they were outnumbered 10-1. I bet we can do better than that this time. #Toronto #CounterProtest

This weeks RSA is online! Last week of the "normal" year as we present to you the penultimate episode of RSA for 2025. For those keeping track, this is episode #1367! I'm getting excited for the best of 2025 show next week! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

Just an FYI that early in the new year I'll be moving all of my site(s) into a Canadian provider. I'll post here before I start, but it may mean that synthetic.org is unreachable for a day or so as DNS propagates.

We are tough and we are mean, Rimmer's Z shift gets things clean! Get your mind out of the skutter.

This weeks RSA is online! Only 2 more weeks until the best of 2025 show! I've begun ordering prizes for the 2026 membership drive. The theme is going to be "flat" to get around the craziness that is trying to mail anything to the USA. synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

Nothing is changing for you if you don’t want it to, Carol.

This weeks RSA is online! After a week from hell, I did manage to spend most of my Friday night blissed out and listening to music for RSA. But I think I have about half of the annual year end show picked! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

This weeks RSA is online! The homelab is all nice and fixed, but I never did get an offer for a stack of Hard Drives. :) I have begun picking tracks for the best of 2025. Good lord, how is it only 4 weeks until I have to get the show ready! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...

Hopefully I have my backup server fixed. Resting now with my buddies.

I'll let you know when my teeth fall out.

This weeks RSA is online! Playing weekend sysadmin with a failed drive and a questionable one in a server in my homelab. But array rebuilding and copying data leaves me plenty of time to get a great show out for you all! synthetic.org www.youtube.com/@RealSynthet...
