And Parson's always deserving of a clean amp, good speakers and devoted time for a listen. "Turn of a Friendly Card" strikes my chords.

This is scary:
The AI music generation tool Suno scraped millions of songs and lyricsfrom YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius, as well as from the stock music libraries Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, the International Music Score Library Project, and podcasts via RSS feeds, according to a hacker who breached the company and shared data about Suno’s training libraries with 404 Media. The hacker was also able to access user information for hundreds of thousands of Suno’s customers, as well as Stripe payment information, they said. The hacked data is a rare look at exactly how AI models and tools are

Hear the sound of music drifting in the aisles
Elevator Prozac stretching on for miles
The music of the future will not entertain
It's only meant to repress and neutralize your brain
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down, I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no one cares
No one cares enough
Now the sound of music comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you building cheaper thrills
The music of rebellion makes you want to rage
But it's made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt

While it is true, my music belongs almost entirely in the 90's, I have found that some of these old farts have really become inspired to produce excellent work in the past 5-6 years.not a new question, or so i’ve found.
a little background (okay, maybe more than a little). sort of a confluence of recent events / disturbances. mostly around ‘optimizing’. AI in particular - ‘have you run that through GPT CHAT? you know, tell it you want what you said to be ‘more compelling’. no. and fuck you.
so how does this relate to music? been exploring. at first, finding interesting shit. so i listen more. until it gets to the point that there’s a monotonous and predictable sameness to it all. like it’s been run through that ‘more compelling’ filter more than one too many times. what the hell? why? per one musician ‘i know my demographic’. excuse me? does ‘demographic’ = ‘customer’? is your focus music or marketing? of course is does, and of course it is.
had a friend over recently, playlist going on the speakers as per usual, and they asked ‘don’t you listen to anything from this decade?’ was gonna say ‘no’. but on second thought, lemme run that by GPT CHAT, and ask for that to be reworded into a more compelling answer.
The most underappreciated hero in all of music history, Raymond Watts, in particular seems to have found his muse again at 60 after years of silence and meh releases.
Gary Numan on tour with newer killer tracks, KMFDM, doing it again, I went to a bloody Front 242 show a few years back and those old farts were killing it, although they were playing old stuff from the 80's.
It seems new music is still available. Uncle Al has been cranking out new Ministry tracks as the current president has given him enough fury to stay his typical course and rumors abound that the once and future King himself, Trent Reznor, may have finally been delivered enough angst by having a pack of teenagers to raise to produce a killer new album after dropping a surprise monster hit on last years TRON soundtrack.
Of course all this new music is from old fogeys. The scene is largely dead in America other than the rare bat who occasionally flutters out of L.A. or New York to briefly spook around.
Ben from Ludovico Technique is clearly a genius, and pretty modern (2014 I think?), but really for actually more modern bands, I have to go to the heart of the rivets, in Germany. The scene is alive and thriving in Deutschland and modern corpses all spin their their finest webs in the shadows of the Brandenburg Gate.

I had a gent do a song for me out of the blue after watching our trailer.
I have another dude who has done some amazing Ai songs specific to our film.
Not quite ready to share (although Butch and Brona saw it yesterday). Some sound adjustments still need to be done.
It is amazing stuff I think.
This was pretty good and appreciated!

We just bought tickets to “The English Beat” in Monterey. I often wonder if we should buy four and invite other BARFers…

I think one of the very best “new” artists is Samite. He’s a refugee from Uganda and now runs a children’s charity with his wife from his horse ranch in upstate New York. He’s an amazing multi instrumentalist.

He seems cool, but I fail to see how darkness, dancing corpses, or spiderwebs spun into ancient rites play a part in his music?

Rosebud...
Orson Welles volunteered to do the voiceover...TEN years after the album was first released.
George Lucas wanted Orson to voice Darth Vader initially...Amazing
Instead he got some stuttering black guy from Alabama...edit...Mississippi...James Earle Jones
James' brother was Redford's partner in The Sting...in the beginning...He got killed...remember, Luther
Loved James in Field of Dreams...which is Costner's best work, as well...And the end of Sneakers...speaking of Redford...
Kevin Costner and I share the same small town we went to high school in...Ventura...

The second part of Turn is brilliant...
Basically EVERYTHING Alan Parsons had a hand on IS state of the art...
Too bad Eric (His creative alter ego) died so young...He was the real architect behind The Alan Parsons Project
You know Parsons ENGINEERED Darkside of the Moon...right?
Had a hand in Ambrosia, The Beatles, Al Stewart, and so many others...
Plus...He's a really cool guy...Spent lots of afternoons with him in Santa Barbara...A lifetime ago.
Lenny Zakatek...Eric...
So many different singers in APP...
