Over the past few years, a lot of music has been created in the name of the PLA. So today, I created this page to showcase these songs. My hope is that listening to this music will inspire even more people to write songs about the PLA, so our “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” will be more than just 7 tracks long. Because really, who’s going to purchase our CD for $17.99 plus tax when there’s only 7 tracks on it??
Track 01: Guilty Deter This is the first official song ever recorded for the PLA, if you don’t include our old 90’s dance mixes. RBCP wrote the lyrics to this song in January 2005 and included them in UPL issue #29. Shortly after the issue of UPL was released, Rob T. Firefly released this version of the song.
The song is about a 17-year-old character named Deter who wants to be a phone phreak but his conscience keeps interfering with his ideas. (You might remember a guy named Deter from a few of the old PLA issues.) This song is a parody of Guilty Conscience by Eminem and Dr. Dre.
Track02: What’s The Difference? This song was included in PLA Radio Episode #3, which was released on February 25th, 2006. The episode revolved around all the fun you could have with Deaf Relay Operators. The lyrics were written by RBCP and the song was performed by a deaf relay operator. It’s a parody of the song called What’s The Difference by Dr. Dre.
Track 04: linear This song was written by both linear and RBCP, each writing most of their own parts of the song. It was written in the early 2000’s, then finished up by RBCP and published in UPL issue #29 in January 2005. RBCP recorded the song in July 2006, playing both the part of linear and RBCP. It was featured in PLA Radio Episode #10 on July 22nd, 2006.
Track 05: PLA Radio Cactus Intro This song is usually played at the beginning of episodes of PLA Radio and was originally played in the May 14th, 2006 episode. The original song is called Squeeze 1st Jay-Z. The various people saying “Cactus” are professional voice artists that RBCP tricked into sending sample work to him.
Track 06: Mildred Monday This song was written by RBCP in 1997 and performed by RBCP on episode #16 of PLA Radio on March 15th, 2008. It features some classic old-school PLA characters, such as Dino Allsman, Jim Bayless and Mildred Monday. It’s a parody of a 1980’s song called Manic Monday by The Bangles.
There are a few more, such as the 2 dance mixes that were done in the 1990’s by Calimar and some other guy. I’ll have to add those to our new song page soon too. Maybe there’s some songs that I’m forgetting about too. You can remind me of anything I’ve forgotten by contacting me.
And if you’d like your own PLA song to appear on the song page, follow these simple steps…
In return, you’ll feel really cool for being on our song page. If the song goes beyond awesome, RBCP will probably send you a PLA stickers or some buttons or maybe even a PLA t-shirt. Your song might even be featured on PLA Radio, which is listened to by thousands of people. And having a song on our song page will constantly expose new people to your music. And that’s what really matters, right?
A couple weeks ago we randomly choose another winner for the Myspace Tshirt contest, but were too lazy to post about him. Today we chose the latest winner. The winners are…

Congratulations, both of you! You’ve won a shirt, some stickers, and a PLA DVD. RBCP will be showing up at your door very soon with a film crew to hand you all of this great PLA stuff personally, just like Ed McMahon does!
If you haven’t won the contest yet, you’ve still got the next 15 days to curse RBCP for rigging the votes and yell at him because you think his random number generator script favors everyone but YOU! If you haven’t entered the contest yet, then you should. You still have as much chance to win as anyone else does.
Altalp drew this PLA comic today. You can view more comics by other people at phonelosers.org/comics/ and you can discuss comics (and see a few more) in our forums on this page.
Frappr.com has a neat little mapping tool that lets you pinpoint various locations. I’ve set up a Frappr map for PLA so all of you visitors can introduce yourselves to each other. All you have to do is enter your name and zip code - setting up an account with Frappr is not required.
Our very own Rob T. Firefly has released RBCP’s parody version of Guilty Conscience into mp3 format. The new song, called Guilty Deter, can be listened to by clicking here. After you’re done listening to it, be sure to check out some of RTF’s other audio exploits as well as the rest of his site at robvincent.net! You can discuss RTF’s hit single and his bright future as today’s hottest new talent in our forums.
We have just figured out that Spessa is actually a BNF SPY and that she’s been working on getting our personal info and giving it to the cybersluthes on the BNF forum who post it all over the place. DO NOT trust her anymore and don’t let her into #bigbeefbueno because she’s just keeping a big file on each one of us. Spessa (aka: Terri) will NOT win this thing. We shall prevail. Be very careful about who we trust from now on. Click here for more information on this Spessa ordeal.
Yesterday evening murd0c sent me to a link which told me that phoneloser.org’s original webhost, Micah McCrary, had died during the summer of 2004. You might remember Micah as the owner of kracked.com. Before we had phonelosers.org, we had pla.kracked.com. In 1997, just as I was ready to completely abandon the PLA web site forever, Micah decided to register phonelosers.org. Micah McCrary is the reason that this website still exists.
Micah hosted phonelosers.org for years, dealing with a steady stream of complaints and legal threats and still having the time to help me out with my perl codes. He was equally helpful to Heywood of messedup.net with hosting and support. He was a helpful friend, fun to talk to and had a hilarious way of dealing with the complaints against phonelosers.org. If you’d like to pay your respects to Micah, I’ve set up a memorial for him here. In fact, I’ve also set up memorials for the other Phone Losers that we’ve lost over the years - SUT and Spee.
Thanks for everything, Micah! You will be greatly missed by many people.

Remember the good old days of the PLA Email List? Well, we’ve decided to try and bring it back. It’s been inactive for a year or so, ever since Yahoo killed it. This is our attempt to make it active again. So click here and join the email list immediately.
Some weirdo named Nide made a PLA image to stick on your desktop. Then some other weirdo named sabrebutt made a few PLA/phone icons for Windows. So I’ve stuck all this stuff into a directory called /themes/ for other people to download. Next thing you know someone is going to make a bunch of crazy PLA mouse pointers, startup screens and shutdown screens. Right? Right?? If you do, we’ll add them to the themes directory.
