Speaking of Rita (though by rule, it will not be added 🙁), much like "Wind-Up" a couple months back, "Out of Air" is a therapist's dream PSA song. One they could blast to all of their clients with mental disorders; maybe even show to my own therapist, if I wasn't stubborn to my curation boundaries.

I know I have "The Great Social Media Soap Opera" meltdown of our times still ongoing, because we can't have nice things in the 2020s, but social media like here & that platform owned by an even worse tech-snake is the only main way to advertise WCAS Mock Radio every week, on top of other projects.

I still don't care about Taylor Swift nowadays. I'd rather be sitting on and thinking about the new Alohaii single, instead. (Also, I have new Rita to be curious about in a couple of days.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFad...

So last week I ran into a radio program that actually plays V-Tuber music (through Iku finding out that she got a spin through them). And last night, I got to tune in for the first time. I wonder if I need to move my V-Tuber / nerdcore suggestions here... lagliferadio.wordpress.com/2025/10/02/e...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Hey, Hip Hop & R&B stations! Adding a Gen A/I "artist" named Xania Monet to your rotation is a bad fucking idea! Stations shown were the ones that added it this week. Screenshots grabbed from All Access, first two from the Urban format / the latter two from Adult R&B.

Oh, and if I were Cover Corp. right now, this would be the desperate shakeup that pop radio needs. They should have enough cultural clout now to at least try to push this. Or am I going to assume that they're pretending to be A-listers that are actually bankrupt in 2025 (like most other agencies)?

Someone in Music Socials a while back made the correct comparison that "Will.I.Am is a bar that the general public (or at least Popular Music, 2025) is not able to clear right now". For those who have followed me over the years, for me, that person is Calliope Mori. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsf_...

*Looks at Electronic Arts* Ugh, dickheads.

I honestly think I'm just going to spend the week working on stuff behind the scenes, in regards to the mock station. Just haven't been feeling anything, and not just because it's my least favorite day of the week.

"Hey Spectrum, why haven't you talked about V-Tubers you enjoy more often or shared other people's fanart of them (despite the smaller pool to work with)" Because my self-abusive ass has been imploding for most of the year, as per usual.

ADDNEDUM: I didn't open up the rankdown thread to see if anyone said anything since...that...Google Doc went up, but if the mods took over, I hope everyone is having fun over there without me. No bitterness directed at anyone (outside of how I handled my own frustrated self).

Tonight sees me with the most amount of time I've spent so far on Discord ever since going M.I.A. three months ago (at least posting & interaction), including the Talk Of the Charts server. It was still only a handful of minutes. I'm not actually back, but at some point I want to return in earnest.

This message is brought to you by the current political moment. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Thank you.

Hey. 👋 (I know, I'm only now getting to her subathon, and I need to pretend that I have a humor quota to try to meet.)

#WCASOfficialAdds - Weekend of September 22, 2025 (MOVING HELL EDITION) As far as my situation goes, same Thundercat. Same. #MusicSky

As someone who is not high on the official release of "Where Is My Husband" (add to the growing disappointment pile after its great debut at Glastonbury, yippee), I await those who will mash this up with Suisei's "BIBBADIBA". Could be a great mashup in the making. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK5T...

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

Thanks to their "Smart Shuffle" feature, Spotify is making me do something that I haven't done in almost 3 years (and it'll be more tiring this time around...yes, this'll take a while), to the point where the currents' one-add streak will likely continue. ☹️ The add report might also come early.

A sliver of me did have my questions even as I went along, but now that the disbandment is official thanks to significant managerial issues...my well wishes continue to be with them all. What a waste of those fun designs, too.

Back on the current / future hardware, with something I've learned recently - To put things into perspective on my CPU, the Intel Core i7-1065G7, a processer released back in 2019, it performs around the equivalent to one of their N-series processors today that replaced their Pentiums and Celerons.

@aimod.social is restored! I’m so sorry for the inconvenience! If Bluesky gives us more information on why the account was suspended, I’ll be sure to share what we learn and communicate how we’ll avoid it happening again. Thanks again for your patience! 🩵

Hey all 👋 we saw that @aimod.social has been suspended. We don’t know why at this point, but we’ve appealed the suspension and requested more information. I’ll update when I know more. Thank you for your patience! 🩵

Today I learned that the person behind the A/I Art Labeler (aimod . social) has been suspended. That was some really useful moderation someone had, you know. Guess this might be the next best thing? bsky.app/profile/did:...

Heads up if you're still using #Spotify! Make sure the platform is not force-feeding its recommendations to you while you're listening to your playlists (if you're automix feature is turned off). I noticed that they started doing this to me today, and it is annoying. Let people know about this!

#WCASOfficialAdds - Weekend of September 15, 2025 (APATHY EDITION) (*"Days Of Our Lives" theme starts playing yet again, because the goddamn Social Media Soap Opera doesn't know when to fucking end*) Whatever you do, don't look back. It's nothing but mass-implosion behind you. #MusicSky

Spotify is now transparent about how long their ad breaks are now. Cool, I guess. Now can you stop platforming McDonalds, Target, Capital One, and BetterHelp during them? Maybe have your shitty CEO back out of that A/I military thing, too?

Double checking my records, 2024 actually had 9 dropped same-year currents, so that memory lapse is on me. Still, the fact that I'm even having to say that I'm dealing with this issue again (with a chance where I get close to that by December, and with less added overall), is very concerning.

Hey, so I've already had to drop 3 currents and be forced to power down another this year. And another artist who also has tracks in currents is scaring me a bit. Can the music world just not, right now?

Thinking about doing an emergency background check soon on everybody I play on the mock station, after this (should I have the time and energy). Or maybe I need to start contemplating retirement again.

The only thing I will say for now is that the Jayden Hammer add back in May, for that one song from last year, is proving to be very prophetic right now. That and trying to predict the end of humanity ever since early COVID. Maybe I might finally get my wish here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaTF...

I was working on a review, sticking up for Reine's new song that felt like the answer to, "what if The Go-Go's had more of a pop punk edge to their music". And then listening to it before submitting is making me wonder if this is a "Be Myself" song dowsed in "Novocaine" (The Unlikely Candidates).

BTW, in regard to last repost, that is for KTBG Kansas City. (If you couldn't tell, I'm back on the virtual road today, tuning in to both The Bridge and KKFI...the two unrelated to each other, outside of status. KC's my next stop on there.) bridge909.org/support

We are in the midst of our most important funddrive to date at 90.9 The Bridge. As you know, the petty criminal in the White House has eliminated all funding to public media. I hope you’ll take a minute and pledge your support. Any amount truly helps keep programs like Sonic Spectrum on the air.

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

#WCASOfficialAdds - Weekend of September 8, 2025 (APATHY EDITION) This is just last week, again. Not much comes out of the week, with me rather floating and "existing" instead. Just replace a few AAA stations with...the Billboard Hot 100 general-listening public? Huh. 🤨 #MusicSky

Bringing lyrics over to / Transcribing on Genius as much as I can of the Pug Johnson album from earlier this year (plus some of the AAA impactees and new songs), and I'll give him this. The rich instrumental production is top notch, as is standard with any decent country.

🤫 GUERRILLA LIVE We're back from Day 1 of VeXpo! Let's chat!! (When I say we I mean me and @abyssalhayashi.vtubers.social) www.twitch.tv/amewa_takaha... #VTuber #ENVtuber

“Explain Hollow Knight in iambic pentameter while doing a character impression” I gotchu. (edit by @deltayun.bsky.social !)

In occasional good news today, I wish Mic The Snare the best of luck with Record Pull. On the surface, it might be another music-hosting YouTube channel like all of those that were popping up within the last few years, but I really appreciate him touching on the business side of things.

Big pet peeve of mine in music: Annoying guitar scratches that were always getting picked up on a song's mix. And it never stopped. (You can find many, MANY examples of this on your streaming platform of choice.)

You know, I actually feel really bad that women are making up the vast majority of my mock station's drops this year (related to either conduct or association). And there's still three months to go. I don't care if that means I've weeded out most of the men early on or something, but good lord... 😑

Whenever I do return to editing, y'all need to tell me if you see auto-dubbing turned on with my videos (and I didn't pay attention, unless there's no way to turn it off in which I'll mention then). It's actually very sad to see folks I watch use the feature. Even down to the V-Tuber clippers.

#WCASOfficialAdds - Weekend of September 1, 2025 (APATHY EDITION) Thanks for giving me the motivation, stations that added "Wheel" last week. (*sigh*) #MusicSky

By the way, note what I specifically said...and I should've made this crystal clear earlier. Song request SHOWS AND BLOCKS, not stations as a whole. (Also should've mentioned, texting or anything else that has to run through my personal details is a no-go.) #RadioSky

For any radio fans out there, is there another show active that has a whole block for song requests that don't require me to make an email or phone call (ex.: using Disqus comments for said requests)? Would help if it's from a place (online or airwaves) that has some amount of audience. #RadioSky
