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 dear...

2:17:36 – I recently added a new “surf” feature to The Onsug Random Radio Button, which plays a new random clip from the archive every 2 minutes and 9 seconds. I figured I’d record a sessions with this feature, and it came out great!

[Verse]
A horde of screaming Luddites
Come streaming up the hill
Their torches shine like floodlights
Their pitchforks aim to kill
With torches and with pitchforks
Their ranks go marching by
They’re coming for the rich folks
Developing A.I.
[Chorus]
These friends of Ludd
Are out for blood
And blood is in their eyes
This sabot squad
Will sabotage

[Verse]
Picked this girl up in an Uber
And she thought I was a goober
She said “Sir, would you turn off the A/C please?”
Well, I thought I’s gonna pass out
And I shoulda throwed her ass out
Cause she’s freezin’ when it’s eighty-five degrees

There’s some switches in the back, girl
With which you can turn...

Tape Land 209 (Video 17) – Video Feedback FX (11/14/89) [released 10/24/26]

On Tuesday, November 14, 1989, in my parents’ basement in Martinsville, NJ, I connected my VHS camcorder to the TV set, and pointed the camera at the screen.

This is a new audio version of my book New Whychock Revival. I recently wanted to put together a short version of the book the same length as A Wine of Wizardry by George Sterling. I eventually decided on an excerpt, which ran about 13 minutes. I chose a new computer voice to read it – “Azure Grant MAI-Voice-2.1”. I liked how this voice approached the material, so I decided to have it read the whole thing. In...

[Verse]
It seems that all my kinfolk
Have long since turned to dust
Both womenfolk and menfolk
The weak and the robust
And all my friends and rivals
Have moved on from this realm
The lack of their survival
At times can overwhelm
[Pre-chorus]
But other people may have t...

2:04:40 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

This is quite the re-discovery. It’s a computer voice reading a bunch of dreams I had written down from 1989 to 1994. It was originally released as my entry for Overnightscape Central – Writes (2/23/22). At that time, the computer voice I used was less sophisticated and talking very fast. It also seemed to be incomplete. Here, I use the computer voice “Azure Harper MAI-Voice-2”, which is a much better voice, talking at a more normal pace. And the full...

This was quite an interesting find. The tape is simply labeled “11/28/01”, for some reason, but the short recording on it is from 12/19/01. It turned out to be notes for my failed science fiction novel Severe Repair, especially interesting because here on Tape Land I’m in the middle of an audiobook version of Severe Repair using a computer voice. Though short, there are some very interesting notes, including some ideas for future editions of Severe Repa...
