Buy Nothing Day-Week-Thing

In Phoole & the Gang Show 499, we enjoyed two hours of tunes about consumerism, greed, self-sufficience and Santa Bacon.


A multi-camera moment from Phoole and the Gang Show 499 for Black Friday in 2024. In the upper right corner, a scene of London holiday shoppers has the BUY NOTHING DAY logo superimposed on it. Phoole is in all black, including black hair and lipstick for Black Friday. Santa Bacon is in the PhooleOut Shelter studio, and so is Uncle Fweddy the skeleton, but Angelo the Cat is absent.

A moment from the show is shown above, captured by @Winni4U - thank you Winni!

The Phoole and the Gang fuchsia flag logo floats in front of a collage of brightly-colored signs, cards and stickers advertising discounts and sales.

In contrast to show 498, this show contains very little time with Angelo the Cat, which I'm sorry about, but I fixed my knee, so there's that!

It's a really solid show - the music-only version at hearthis.at/phoole is a kickass mixtape to make Phooligans of a certain age feel the way we did back in the bad-ass olden-times, before we had to buy our counter-culture plaid trousers and chain wallets and combat boots at Hot Topic - when we had to come by them earnestly.
