Doomsday Smart Phone w/ Frida Berrigan

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock has never been closer to midnight, yet the nuclear panic of the 1960s feels like history. Jackson Lears, who served as a naval officer on a nuclear-armed ship during the Cold War, discusses how we have embraced the myth of technological prowess to detach ourselves from the horrors of war. “War is the most unpredictable, least controllable enterprise that human beings are capable of, and yet it’s the one to which we pay the most technological homage,” he writes.

46:15: Assange, Ellsberg, any hope for whistleblowers?

The Doomsday Machine

Say No, Say No (remastered) © 2023 Nigel Foote

Living in the days of midnight
Well it’s like a science-fiction movie
But hey that’s you and me there on the screen
And you better be quick be quick now
And speak out against the arms race
For we hold tomorrow in our hands you and me

Chorus
For the trees that grow tall
For the birds that fly high
For the fish that swim deep
For all animals wild
For you and for me
For the innocent child
Say no, say no

Your eyes can see the evil
Your voice can carry miles
Your hands can hold a gun or hold a child
Your energy can heal others
Your spirit can free their souls
Your love for one another can conquer all

For the trees that grow tall
For the birds that fly high
For the fish that swim deep
For all animals wild
For you and for me
For the innocent child
Say no, say no

Day after day
One step at a time
We’ll build the power
By linking our minds
The energy’s there
And we can all find
The circle of light

Living in the days of midnight
Well it’s like a science-fiction movie
But hey that’s you and me there on the screen
And you better be quick be quick now
And speak out against the arms race
For we hold tomorrow in our hands you and me

For the trees that grow tall
For the birds that fly high
For the fish that swim deep
For all animals wild
For you and for me
For the innocent child
Say no, say no

Breaking with conventional release strategies, Tobisonics delivers a Doomsday clock inspired call-to-action across web and social platforms.  “90 Seconds to Midnight” fuses music and sound design, with innovative AI-generated video, to encourage both educational engagement and financial support for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Juxtaposing a sample of Putin's nuclear ultimatum against cutting-edge vocal synthesis, and featuring the voice of popular educational content creator, Astrid Lundberg aka OddPride [500k+ followers on TikTok], the 90 seconds in duration single plunges the listener into the devastating reality of The Hiroshima Bomb.

“90 Seconds to Midnight” is made with the blessing of the Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists, the organization responsible for The Doomsday Clock, founded by Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer.  The Bulletin works to prevent Nuclear War and other human-made existential threats by providing access to reliable information for policy makers and the general public alike.

The passive listening experience of playlist-based ecosystems made streaming a bad fit for “90 Seconds to Midnight”.  Understanding that awareness is as valuable as financial support, Tobi set up a dedicated landing page where the single is available exclusively and for free.  The page serves as an introduction to both the Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists and The Doomsday Clock, encouraging deeper engagement with these critical issues.

90 Seconds To Midnight ft. Astrid Lundberg

Recalling the defiant thrill of The Killers' Brandon Flowers and the off-kilter attitude of The Strokes, The Dirty Skirts made a giant splash upon arrival in 2005. Frontman Jeremy de Tolly's voice, combined with the band's gifted musicianship, influenced a generation of young alternative indie musicians. With a sonic palette of catchy, floor-stomping, hand-clapping beats, they continue to inspire fans around the globe. 

SAMA (South African Music Award) winning band The Dirty Skirts release their first new music in over a decade. With time to reflect during the global COVID pandemic The Dirty Skirts decided to collaborate remotely to 'test the waters' and instantly rediscovered their mutual creative chemistry and drive to release new music. 'Doomsday Clock' covers themes of polarisation, social inequity, climate change, and AI from the perspective of our ordinary day-to-day lives.

Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Say your prayers and just hold on tight
It only hurts till you die
Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Pick one thing you'd like to make right
Then kiss your ass goodbye

The meek shall inherit the earth they said
Sounds pretty good till you see what's left
Ah, it's 90 seconds till midnight
It's been said before that all we have is time
Hope you saved room for seconds cos it's 89
I mean 90 seconds till midnight

Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Say your prayers and just hold on tight
It only hurts till you die
Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Pick one thing you'd like to make right
Then kiss your ass goodbye

It isn't gonna matter who is last or first
It won't be worth the trouble when the bubble bursts
Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
If it's AI or the planet or the atom bomb explodes
A minute and a half to say I told you so
Ah it's 90 seconds to midnight

Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Say your prayers and just hold on tight
It only hurts till you die
Ah it's 90 seconds till midnight
Pick one thing you'd like to make right
Then kiss your ass goodbye

90 Seconds Till Midnight (Doomsday Clock Rock)

A syrupy sweet cover of making the bombs by circle jerks

I spend my nights in the factory
Building bombs for the good of the nation
It's my job can't you see?
(Massive) plutonium radiation

They're gonna rock and destroy
Made from the finest of alloys
They're gonna fly under the radar
Six feet over the Russian horizon

Making the bombs! Making the bombs!

I install electronic components
The little chips that know where home is
It's such a thrill going through my section
When I give them my final inspection

I like the kind that save the buildings
Why take it out on pillars of stone?
You gotta kill you gotta maim
The real estate is not to blame

Making the bombs! Making the bombs!
Making the world a nicer place
For us to be
Making the world a saver place
For you and me

Making the bombs!
Making the bombs!

To keep a lid on the population
We'll drop bombs on selected nations
We've got a big one in current production
We'll teach those slime buckets about reproduction
Making the bombs, making the bombs
Dropping the bombs

Making The Bombs

Watchmen er WATCHMEN, og det kan ingen forandre, men der er igennem årene kommet mange forsøg på, at “genskabe” universet.

Kim og jeg gennemgår dem ALLE, så vi kommer vidt omkring. Meget vidt. Eller - det gjorde vi tilbage i 2020. Nu er 2024 jo udnævnt til "The Year of Moore", og så må vi hellere snakke WATCHMEN. Og udover tegneserien, så er der tv-serien. Og andet, ja, men pyt. Tv-serien fra 2020 er et ubetinget mesterværk på linje med tegneserieforlægget. Det er ikke en adaption, men en fortsættelse i samme vidunderlige univers - og det fungerer! Knapt så godt gik det med Doomsday Clock fra samme år. 

Vi genudsender, fordi hey, det er sommerferie. Nyd en podcast i solen, og så høres vi ved om to uger, hvor den står på DEADPOOL VERSUS WOLVERINE!

Sommerspecial: Watchmen tv-serien og Doomsday Clock (G)

Clock (Lyrics)

Tik Tok goes the China Clock
Wake up to the alarm of doom
A face off is crystal 
Contentious as the Noor

Sits on the mantle piece
Far corner of the room
Maos pooh at the bread crust
Underneath at the floor

Strategic ambiguity
Orb weaver groom
New improved spin
On 'Threads' for the poor

Pied piper rat run 
For a negative boom
News paperclip trap
Beats a path to its door

Trying to put some of the thoughts about  2025 worries into a tune.

Eschatologist

Nigel Foote is a singer-songwriter from the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia, who also composes guitar instrumentals. Nigel has recorded two albums and won a number of awards for his work, including two PATER Awards.

“The great marriage of words and music is too often discarded for the lure of making quick money in today's lucrative music market. But if you are willing to explore further beyond the tease of commercialism, there are still artists in this world writing and performing works of a truly exceptional standard, songs that inspire and touch us, melodies which will echo through the years. Nigel Foote is one of these artists. (Paul Jarman, Stix, July 2006)
