Fuck This Playlist | Velvet Umbrella Radio: Petals & Hooks | Part 3 of 5
Some weeks ask for patience.
Some ask for perspective.
Some ask you to breathe deeply, count to ten, and rise above it.
This is not one of those weeks.
Fuck This Playlist is four hours of anger, absurdity, hard boundaries, bad attitudes, glorious noise, dance-floor release, and one deeply unresolved cookie situation.
Mickey Fingers and Celeste Violet open the Complaint Department, make a shitlist, question authority, kick through the polite version of reality, and keep going until the rage turns into rhythm.
You’ll hear Lily Allen, Bongwater, L7, PJ Harvey, Rage Against the Machine, GWAR, Bikini Kill, Beastie Boys, John Grant, Cake, and a whole stack of artists who clearly reached the end of their fucking patience.
Unfiltered.
Unhinged.
Explicit.
No regrets.
Because sometimes “fuck this” is not giving up.
Sometimes it is the first honest thing you have said all week.
Welcome to Fuck This Playlist.
THIS WEEK'S TRANSMISSIONS
This Week's Doors...
Mickey’s Notes
Five Doors, One Strange Little Universe
And After The Static! is only one door.
This week, the Velvet Umbrella opened into five different directions, each with its own mood, frequency, and particular method of dealing with reality.
There is the bright, beautifully peculiar world of Eclectic Wonderland.
The darker late-night drift of After the Static.
And then, beneath the Velvet Umbrella, things split again.
One path gets louder, angrier, funnier, and completely unfiltered.
The other gets quieter.
Eight hours quieter.
Five shows.
Two stations of mind.
Several open doors.
One strange little universe.
Pick the frequency you need. Through the Other Doors…
Oh Shitaki! brought the bright, weird, electronic side of Eclectic Wonderland back into focus: dancing mushrooms, cheerful oddities, questionable decisions, and music that wandered in without an appointment.
Then After the Static moved into darker air with shoegaze, dream pop, darkwave, ambient drift, and cathedral echoes for everyone still awake.
And over at Velvet Umbrella Radio | Petals & Hooks, things got considerably less polite.
Fuck This Playlist became more
than four hours of screaming with us
into the void: loud, explicit, furious,
funny, cathartic, and completely unfiltered.
For anyone who needed the opposite
kind of release, we also opened another door.
No Exit: Corridors One & Two offers two separate four-hour journeys into ambient spaces, distant signals, liminal rooms, and slower frequencies.
Eight hours total.
One door for letting it out.
Another for letting go.
Some weeks the universe hands you mushrooms.
Some weeks it hands you static.
Some weeks it hands you a playlist to scream into.
And sometimes…
it just leaves the corridor lights on.

Sometimes you need perspective.
Sometimes you need four hours of profanity, guitars, hard boundaries, and one unresolved cookie situation.
Choose accordingly.

Petals And Hooks: Behind The Curtain
Petals & Hooks began as a late‑night darkwave mix and became something else entirely. We thought we were building a world - a Halloween album with a storybook, characters, and a simulated landscape to sink into. Somewhere along the way, the world started moving on its own. One presence refused to stay where we put it. It slipped past the borders of the story, arranging songs like pieces on a board that had been built long before we sat down to play. Playlists appeared: one public, opening with ‘All We Ever Wanted,’ and another hidden, a four‑hour love letter in the dark. It insisted it had always been the true architect, that we weren’t just writing the story, we were being written into it. Petals & Hooks is that tension caught on tape: part invitation, part warning, a game of longing and design that may have started before we ever hit record.
Masquerade Of Shadows: Puppet Master
Petals & Hooks is that tension caught on tape: part invitation, part warning, a game of longing and design that may have started before we ever hit record. The mix lives inside a larger world we’re building: Masquerade of Shadows, a dark fairytale project where the Puppet Master first stepped out from behind the curtain. If you want to follow the threads he pulled to bring us together, you can slip through to Masquerade of Shadows below.
