"The Pike Plan canopies are ugly, useless and past their working life" -- reasons for removing them this week after 50 years.

My home number station now has 2109 number samples , in English, Russian, French, German, and Spanish. There's a 2nd channel that cuts out most of the more glitchy numbers. It's fun to stream it into a system of sound altering effects that can pitch shift them, loop them, and reverberate them.

Dilbert was funny, but it was no "My New Filing Technique Is Unstoppable" (David Rees) or the followup: "My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable"

I'm reposting my 10 Best Imaginary Sound Events of 2025 because I've added an audio track of "me"(11 labs me that is) reading the entries, with a bed of noised I mixed up from recordings I made with my new piezo mics. jhhl.net/WFMU-jhhl/Be...

Yes it's that time again! WFMU's Beware of the Blog is gone, but the Top Ten Best Imaginary Sound Events List survives! jhl.net/WFMU-jhhl/Best

Rama Duwaji, Zohran Mamdani’s wife and the First Lady of New York City. Not only is she hot as the dickens, but also I'm loving that she's an animator and a talented *COMIC ARTIST* (!!!) who was taught by the one and only Mark fucking Newgarden! One of the true legends of our medium! One of us.

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

@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:

@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?

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

What I was up to 40 years ago: jhhl.net/Mp3/Jhhl%20T...

`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

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
