I routinely turn down work for people who want me to fix their playing/vocals with Autotune. I fucking hate Autotune. Never occurred to me that someone would WANT to sound like AI.

Gonna need to be careful about that for the future.

As part of the work for an upcomming project I was asked to make a mix sound like it was done by AI. That's a first for me. I figured out a way to do it, but there's that after-effect noise that is common to AI work and I'm not a fan.

But this is a gig for hire. I wrote the song for them, and produced the album, but ultimately it will be their name on the album.

But the songwriting credit is MINE. I'm taking all the fucking royalties for writing the music.

It's pretty rude, although not full of swears. Show more

For those of you who do this, has YouTube notifications been getting screwy over the past few days? I'm getting no notices of new content on some channels, and multiple notices on others.

Was just ordering from North Beach Pizza, but my fingers were one space wrong on my keyboard for a moment there.

Nearly ordered Birth Beach Pizza.

Stay through the credits. Trust me.

I'm seriously hoping that one week from today I can be focusing on stuff I've been missing instead of all this election stuff.

Such as, the Vatican now has an anime mascot.

“I am extremely grateful to the Dicastery for Evangelization for opening its doors to pop culture as well,” said Luce's creator.Simone Legno. Google him if you're brave - he's done some very non-religious stuff too.

You may have heard by now that The Governator has endorsed Harris/Walz. But you should read the full statement. It harkens back to a day when Republicans were Republicans.

He's full of shit about his accomplishments, but the tone is there.

Never vote for anyone who's entire argument is "I know you are but what am I?"

There is a reason that 12 year-olds aren't given the vote.

He keeps saying that his rallies are "Lovefests" and "Days of Love" and so on.

I think that maybe his definition of Love might just be really fucked up. I recommend therapy.

Lots and lots of therapy. Like find a bed at Bellevue.

Our entire environment can be traced to one moment. November 4, 1995. Pres. Clinton is flying to Isreal for the funeral of Yitzhak Rabin, and Bob Dole & Newt Gingrich hitched a ride on Air Force One. They were sent into the back of the plane for the 25 hour flight, and never invited forward.

Gingrich saw this as a snub and from that moment on fought everything Clinton did to the point of irrationality.

Dole didn't feel snubbed (military vet; he'd flown worse), but he backed Newt up.

As a trans woman, this week is one of the most stressful weeks of my life. I'll either be somewhat safe in America, or hated and hunted in America 😑 If this sounds like I'm being dramatic, I promise you I'm not!

Aaaah, the Star Trek spinoff that never was. Even though the role would have been recast as she nearly left the role over blatant sexism on set, absolutely slays in the role - one of the better Star Trek Original Series episodes and referenced back in multiple episodes of the other series.

She was a superb talent.

Once again, Randy Rainbow knocks it out of the park. Be sure to note the song within a song towards the end.

"Magadu" - a Randy Rainbow parody set the the tune of "Xanadu" by Olivia Newton-John and ELO, with another song buried inside. You'll notice it - especially if you're about my age. 😂

You see, when you refer to us/them as "The Democrat Party" I immediately know that you're an asshole.

I mean, I never refer to you as "The Republic*nt Party" no matter how tempted I get.

As usual, here is the blog version of Radio Free California Episode 2444, which includes the same playlist but also programming notes about various shows on my internet radio station, my own opinions in very unclean language (TDLR: Nazi = bad), cheap shots at the day's news and more. Enjoy!
