No show from me again this week, and the way things are shaping up, I'm likely to be off air next week as well. Once I'm on the other side of weather calamities (which make my dayjob crazy) and elections (which make everyone crazy) I'll be in a better place to get back online! phoole.com/rewind

WELP. I really wanted to do a show this week, with it being Friday the 13th and the Ides of March coming up, but I just can't. Too exhausted, nothing in the tank, studio isn't ready. Just can't. Very sorry! Please love past shows at phoole.com/rewind and I'll get back on sometime soon!

AI slop is AI slop even if it looks like a CG Realdoll. It cannot release music, it has no actual thoughts, it is not an artist. If you’re perpetuating the snake oil grift on socials you’re part of the problem. If you’re actually impressed by the slop, I suggest you go fuck a Tamagotchi

Yesterday's Gardens & Gears event at the Mitchell Park Domes was the escape I needed with a lively and kind crowd! Rewind nearly 7 hours of vintage music delights as played on the day: hearthis.at/phoole/garde...

New music video! Watch the whole thing on YouTube: youtu.be/3XyCT6q35GI?...

Since our government looks bent on starting the apocalypse early, I’m putting out the next big version of my illustrated survival guide. It’s almost 200 pages now. I’m also putting it under a creative commons license. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/an-illustrat...

Reading a Scope of Work for a tech RFP draft and I see the phrase, "...during the active phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021)..." Bitch, line go UP. Our current valleys between waves are higher than most pre-Omicron transmission. www.pmc19.com/data/index.php @michael-hoerger.bsky.social

No show this week or next! I will be back on air for THE IDES OF MARCH EXTRA-DOOMY FRIDAY THE 13TH SPECIAL, and then we will have our REVENGE on several weeks of no-show-nonsense! Meanwhile: phoole.com/rewind

SAD TO SAY I cannot be on air tonight! Very sorry! In fact I will be offline all evening, which distresses me greatly. Please catch The Urban Love Ulcer's Rock'n'Roll show for me at (maybe) slipmat.io/urbanloveulc.... 🧵 1/2

I just love this. It's Czech country music, which is an interesting slavic take on the genre. This is "Memphis" by Marpo. @ecksteinish.bsky.social @jaypaul.fyi @phoole.com @winni4u.bsky.social #Memphis #music youtu.be/XCk1rww2swU?...

💀 🖤 PHOOLE & THE GOTH! 👻 🕷️ It’s Friday the 13th, right before Valentine’s Day, so let’s have a Gothentine's playlist of doomed eternal love from the late 1970s through modern darkwave, industrial and EBM. 🧵 1/3

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

It’s 2026. Could somebody please pull their finger out and produce a proper documentary focussing on Wendy Carlos

Ours too! ‘Mon Ken Campbell’s eyebrows!

Guess I'll post this again

The thing I need so badly is Bardcore that uses a countertenor. Does it exist? I want it to exist

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I have had the most hectic work week, my country is collapsing, and we've killed our home planet. So forgive me for indulging in being delighted that my favorite damn band in the universe, The Young Punx, now INCLUDE ME on their next album, out in 2026! soundcloud.com/theyoungpunx...

I don’t want to spoil anything, but something on Page 149 of @theauthorguy.bsky.social’s ANIMA RISING made me bark with laughter in a way that I did not think that particular thing would ever, ever make me laugh again, especially given this ridiculous fucking world we live in today.

Have patience with someone who doesn't look like they're actively resisting. They might, for example, be shielding someone who, in a concentration camp, would die, painfully, in one to two days, without their vast regimen of medications and food on demand. Covert resistance also exists.
