5:14 – A prog-rock song about the ultimate fate of the Onsug and its contributors, with words by Dave in Kentucky, music by Suno V6-mini, and show art by GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst via aiFreeForever.com.

[Verse]
They listen in the future
To what we say today
The aliens and A.I.’s
Both learn from what we say
And maybe even humans
If our sad race can last
Will listen to the Onsug
To learn about their past
[Chorus]
The Onsug is an archive
Of humans in their prime
An audio time capsule
To be dug up any time
By digital explorers
In futures, or the nows
We gladly give our voices
We sadly take no bows
[Verse]
I’m not sure why we do it
We get no kudos now
No kudos in our lifetimes
No kudos are allowed
We’re underestimated
We’re undervalued, too
We’re unappreciated
For what we try to do
[Chorus]
The Onsug is an archive
Of humans in their prime
An audio time capsule
To be dug up any time
By digital explorers
In futures, or the nows
We gladly give our voices
We sadly take no bows
[Bridge]
The gods from up above
Perhaps will show some love
When they return from galaxies afar
But by then we’ll all be gone
And they’ll have some newer spawn
So maybe we’ll be close, but no cigar
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
I guess we could be bitter
I guess we could be mad
We could decide we ramplers
Have nothing more to add
But no, we shall continue
We’ll rample till we die
We’ll understand it better
In the sweet bye and bye
[Chorus]
The Onsug is an archive
Of humans in their prime
An audio time capsule
To be dug up any time
By digital explorers
In futures, or the nows
We gladly give our voices
We sadly take no bows

1:53:02 — While I’m in-between producing shows or whatever, enjoy one of the random recordings I’ve been posting on my Spotify feed since the last episode of my podcast, The Midnight Citizen, back in November 2025.

On this episode, join me for Part 2 of my great Minnesota work trip, where I tour America’s largest indoor shopping complex (according to Google’s AI overview): the Mall of America. Wander with me through its seemingly endless corridors, taking in the attractions, shops and restaurants, exploring the absurd and obscure. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, of course, I get stopped for a security interview by a Mall Cop.

2:17:22 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.

Continuing the audiobook version of my “failed science fiction novel” Severe Repair. This time: CUPLINE 21: ORANGE UNIVERSE, CUPLINE 22: I LOVE BAILEY CONG, and CUPLINE 23: PILN OF SCREW RIDGE, read by computer voice “Azure Harper MAI-Voice-2.1”.

Wow… just wow. Revisiting Severe Repair, 30 years after I wrote most of it, has been a real roller coaster ride. This section was awesome, and once again, my memories of it have faded so much that it was like reading it anew. I had totally forgotten that Lemon, Granticaine, and Zoipin wound up in Gnoboslast. I really enjoyed that part. And the computer chat featuring Fake Cerquaine’s sister Hester was quite interesting as well. And Piln of Screw Ridge, after the brief scene with Piln, was a story I must have written when I was much younger… great stuff. Once again, I wish my younger self would have kept at it, because there’s so much great stuff in Severe Repair. But I do plan on continuing it in Weird Little Highway, already in progress… it’s funny that a character, Sleap Drassy, was trying to pierce Gnoboslast to see what’s outside of her reality… which she knew could destroy the universe… and then… the universe was effectively destroyed, when I stopped writing it. So I think Sleap will return in the next Weird Little Highway… to see what’s outside of the Severe Repair universe…

3:19 – A country ballad about the Mandela Effect, with lyrics by Dave in Kentucky, music by Suno V6-mini, and show art by GPT Image 2.5 Flare via aiFreeForever.com.

[Verse]
Well, whatever happened to Nelson?
I thought that he had died in some jail
But then people greet him with bells on
I guess that he finally made bail
[Chorus]
The Mandela Effect
Will make you reflect
On things that you recall most clearly
Within and without
It’s making you doubt
The memories you hold most dearly
[Verse]
Well, whatever happened to Sinbad?
Remember that old movie, “Shazaam”?
Its IMDb score was a ten, dad
If you doubt me I don’t give a damn
[Chorus]
The Mandela Effect
Will make you reflect
On things that you recall most clearly
Within and without
It’s making you doubt
The memories you hold most dearly
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The Monopoly guy
Had a glass in his eye
Or could that have been Colonel Mustard?
Or the guy on the peanuts?
Or might I just be nuts?
Is that why I’m getting so flustered?
[Verse]
Well, whatever happened to Dolly?
The girl in “Moonraker” with Jaws
With braces removed by the folly
Of airbrushing out all her flaws
[Chorus]
The Mandela Effect
Will make you reflect
On things that you recall most clearly
Within and without
It’s making you doubt
The memories you hold most dearly
[Outro | Ritardando]
Well, whatever happened to Nelson?
I thought he had died in some jail…
