You probably missed last Friday night/Saturday morning's "Alien/Schmalien", but there are plenty of archived Midnight Matinees at this link: www.quality-schnallity.com/midnight.htm

Today on WFMU: On Inflatable Squirrel Carcass w/Rich Hazelton, John Schnall’s Midnight Matinee presents Alien Schmalien, in which the movie Alien meets the music of Allan Sherman for a comic romp through the cosmos. In space no one can hear you kvetch (Fri/Sat midnight ET).

This Friday at midnight (east coast time) on WFMU: Midnight Matinee Presents - Alien, Schmalien! @wfmu.bsky.social

"Operation Inflation" is such a vindication of my Chicken Suit theory of modern information dispersal, which goes, your important, truthful, relevant content will not be reported on unless you are wearing a chicken suit. A frog is no chicken, John Oliver is no chicken, but the same theory applies.

Large Language Model's credibility stems from the credibility of humans spewing out pre-trained responses in much the same way, with not a little credibility. #litotes

Large Language and the Jazz Kissingers remind you that it's a Bandcamp Friday! largelanguage.bandcamp.com thejazzkissingers.bandcamp.com

@ragandboneshop.bsky.social Hey! Are you reestablishing yourself on FBook or is that some bogus account asking for friendship?

My @fantagraphics.bsky.social super sale allowed me to get these supersized early 20th century masterpieces:

A sentiment we can all back. You know what to do! squishfascism.com

@classicshowbiz.bsky.social Did you see the Joan Rivers Auction? www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/...

Some postcards I sent my son in college, years ago.

OK Here's a playlist about this little MIDI control board I made out of balls of Steel Wool and a Playtron. #playtronica #sumu #tomofon www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azm3...

E-ZPass and some ambiguous language.

I'm thinking at all the upcoming weekly - daily? - protest gatherings, we take a good 15 minutes or more laughing.

DOCTOR/ELIZA would never tell you to kill yourself.

Nice try:

I'm seeing pitches for AI bots preparing your legal documents, with claims they will be vetted (by whom exactly?) But if a bot can spit out a lawsuit, say, as a response to a prompt, why not generate a flood of them against the offenses of this government?

🦋's char limit is way too low. Here's the link mentioned in the screenshot (from Mastodon) : jhhl.net/iPhone/TiltS...

It was no Mondo 2000! I wonder if I still have my copies in storage?

`If I wasn't real,' Alice said -- half-laughing though her tears, it all seemed so ridiculous -- `I shouldn't be able to cry.' `I hope you don't suppose those are real tears?' Tweedledum interrupted in a tone of great contempt. -- Large Language Model behavior in a nutshell.

For those curious about Line Hum , here's the Gavinski tutorial! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGTq... For some reason he thinks it should act like a note playing synthesizer instead of just a source of predictable distortion and ring modulation and dronery, but you can see how it runs, sort of.

This has got to be the stupidest AUv3 I've ever released. Because it's the first AUv3 I've ever released. jhhl.net/iPhone/LineHum

More MIDI abuse, this time: low-res. youtu.be/WnPW4ZszPiE

It's pretty clear that there needs to be a presentation to Republicans showing that if they oppose and strip and crush the "BB Bill", any MAGA primarying them will be defeated for the same reasons the bill - and the attitudes behind the bill - should be crushed.

It's easy to forget PolyHarp - an app I occasionally update. Yeah, it's not an AUV3 or VST, but it is IAA, so can be linked in a single instance to outboard effects in a host. There's a new video in my PolyHarp playlist which demonstrates its massive polyphony. studio.youtube.com/playlist/PLw...

More Erae fun with an API based autoharp simulation! Fans of PolyHarp [ polyharp.com ] , and Omnichords take note! #erae2 #autoharp

More Erae 2 fun! youtu.be/GBRCXN2VoGY

I'm testing out #distrokid , so here's the Momus From Mnezhige Thistle. Now on Spotify, Apple Music, You Tube and other streamers. Just search for "Mnezhige"!

It's not Bandcamp Friday, but there's a new radio show from the inimitable Dorothy! "A Month to a Month", the cleaning tips show! largelanguage.bandcamp.com/track/a-month-to-a-month

It's Bandcamp Friday! Buy stuff from your favorite artists and create communities! Meanwhile: There's a new chicken piece, not as good as the first one, but I just love hearing that valley girl voice saying "chicken". Lsten to 'em both. largelanguage.bandcamp.com/track/the-chicken-in-the-future

Tonight: Midnight Matinee Presents: The 5000 Fingers of Dr. John. On @wfmu.bsky.social at midnight during Rich Hazelton's Inflatable Squirrel Carcass. On your radio or internet.

The #erae2 is used here to simulate a Hammered Dulcimer layout! #hammereddulcimer. I suspect there are no other MIDI HD interfaces. PROVE ME WRONG! youtu.be/6nBhQPCCiFo

Do you suppose that the D Senators who voted for the CR think that means the R senators owe them something that they can collect on? That is how the Senate used to work (read your Caro, "Master of the Senate"). They certainly _do_ owe them something, but I doubt they can collect on it.

So, what's the history of the Hatch act applying to all Federal employees except the President and Vice President?

It's time - an hour earlier - for the traditional repost of my Time Zones and Daylight Savings time article: jhhl.net/r/tz

It's Bandcamp Friday® and you can go to Bandcamp and pick and choose you favorite Large Language and Jazz Kissinger tracks for nothing! or whatever you want. largelanguage.bandcamp.com thejazzkissingers.bandcamp.com

I probably have some writing in this issue! Maybe next time, some drawing!

Pulling this old thing out again.

The US is now actually aligned with the Soviet Union.

Here's another #erae2 #eraeii instrument: a bunch of sines playing harmonics. youtu.be/BZ3zwYI7NkM

So - are we going to get 1 or 2 plane crashes a week now?
