this is especially rough for ed sheeran because everyone really wants to hate him but until now it’s been hard to justify

if ai included the wordart features of Microsoft word 2001 its posters would be so much better
i'd like to see a daw that explicitly doesn't support plugins or samples. a daw that says 'this is exactly all you need to make music'. the electronic equivalent of guitar drums bass vocals, or a philharmonic orchestra. these are the tools, figure it out.
just ripped a track for a french guy that has been looking for it since 1992. hell yeah discogs.
not to be dramatic but there’s some novel stuff happening with arrangement repetition and consciousness here lol nousklaer.bandcamp.com/album/mindbo...

at this rate my top 5 aoty is gonna have a field recording and an experimental live performance of Louie Louie on it. becoming insufferable.
as far as i can tell there is no dj on earth capable of this at the moment. the break looping is so nuts.

incredible, essential. especially if you know the song's legend and its relationship to durational music.

i can't bear to watch the chatgpt promo in full but the application of llms that makes the most sense to me is as an interface for computer control. obviously a computer can control a computer better than i can. i just have to be able to trust it (big) and it has to understand me (we are close)
strongly dislike the trend where 'website.com' is an advertisement for the website and 'app.website.com' is where the actual website is.
charming and somewhat underreported that thousands of people wait for bandcamp friday to buy tons of music not because its discounted but because more of the money goes to the artists. deeply sweet.
i cant think too much about what the incredibly well funded org with extensive well documented research on mind control, social manipulation, cultural manipulation has been doing for the last ~20 years with the internet.
I'm sure Bluesky hacked off most of that headline on mobile, so:
lincoln carpenter@lincolnhello.bsky.social · 2w ago"'Where'd EA go? It's been purchased. So we didn't have a wall there,' Adams said. 'Could have had a wall. Didn't have a wall. Many such cases.'"
whats the deal with the ai gen fonts? there are a few, you see the rough white on black paintbrush looking extreme one a lot on the awful food / event posters. i assume they are somewhat hard coded in as a reaction to ai gen imagery's trouble with text.
the quality of music writing for major outlets can be easily explained by the adage 'you'd have to be an idiot to work in publishing today' (substack etc notwithstanding)
i dont hear tom leykis come up enough in context of manosphere incel stuff. my dad listened to him all the time in the car in the 90s and he had an identical schtick to the current gen of hucksters.
i cynically enjoy the current cycle of making every single product recall national news because of the handful of serious and significant ones caused by deregulation. fuck it.
Any way to disable the pop up quiz questions Google Maps serves you while you’re driving a thousand pounds of metal at 60 mph?
feeling like something of an idiot for just now connecting that fidget house was just speed garage basslines over house drums
incredibly jealous of whoever is seeing objekt in the coming months based on the recent bandcamp purchases.
there isn't anyone doing it better at the moment

much is made of the — but what really gets me about ai speak these days is the bolding. it’s so condescending and infantilizing.
despite everything, and somewhat surprisingly i find myself very excited about gta. love those games. you can drive all around.
still baffled why pop stars don't have to have hits anymore. taylor, beyonce, lorde, dua lipa, even lady gaga. no hits in years.
i haven't cracked the right way to talk about it yet but the thing where a style of art/music/etc will drift between being loved only by weirdos, embraced by cool kids, embraced by the mainstream, and the unique effects each of these phases have on the art itself is fascinating. see dance music
with all the burning man hate you might expect more rainbow gathering love. they should do a documentary recreation of the dispossessed about burning man and the rainbow gathering.
