All I have is a lot of tunes and a little bit of time.
I know I talked up doing a BREAK-UP TAPES show during last week's Young-Punx-a-Palooza on Phoole & the Gang, but this week has sure been a busy month, so that isn't happening.
I must whine about my real life for a moment
It snowed here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, you see? So this conundrum manifests when it snows in Milwaukee, wherein a certain portion of the populace, people who still use phones as phones, simultaneously experience these oppositional states:
They have never encountered snow before, ever, in their entire lives, which you can deduce from their apoplexy at being found near snow.
But also, at the exact same time: they have lived in Milwaukee for 100 years, during which their street has never, ever even seen the shadow of a snow plow, despite their street being buried beneath a whole entire glacier every winter.
Due to the nature of my Day-Job, this has made my week be a year long, with lots of 12-hour work days.
US Phooligans, I know you are hearing a lot in the news about how civil servants do nothing, and we are very lazy, and we just sit around making billions of dollars, eating bon-bons, drinking human blood, and accelerating apocalypse.
It's a funny thing about the people who hurl these accusations at civil servants.
Every accusation is a confession.
Including the human-blood-drinking.
Especially the human-blood-drinking, metaphorically and literally.
I've said enough. I'VE SAID TOO MUCH, perhaps.
Back to folly
Here's the real Phoole & the Gang point: I just didn't have time to do anything but grab tunes I've been accumulating for the past few months, sticking them to myself like a decorator crab sticks shiny objects and other creatures to its shell, fling them in a playlist, and then season them with tunes I know Anna in Kokomo, Indiana loves. Friday, 14 February 2025 isn't just Valentine's Day - it's Anna's birthday, which is arguably more popular than the holiday, and justifiably so.
So if you tune in, and I hope you will, that is what you'll get down to!
