These are probably the greatest things ive ever drawn

Genuinely wondered if it was in fact the finale of a shorter than expected season.

Or Sepultura to Cavalera Conspiracy

Metallica Megadeth even

I would completely agree actually

That’s a tough one. Cheesiness aside the F.E.A.R era wasn’t awful but it’s hard to top the stone roses

I’m not anti-wings at all. Just getting out in front of that particular l. Or.. thought I was at least 😂. Oh. I hadn’t heard of them, should I bother?

Beatles to Wings not withstanding, is there a bigger downgrade in pop music than Jefferson Airplane to Starship.

Fingers crossed that this is a question of “yet”.

Policies of Power EP, by Samantha Urbani 5 track album

At this point in time can we maybe all just agree that Samantha Urbani was the real brain behind that early Blood Orange stuff. Also the Policies of Power EP is somehow 8 years old now which is making me feel geriatric. Anyway, still well worth a listen:

Margaret Boden - Wikipedia

I'm late to hear of the passing of Margaret Boden, the most influential figure in the field of Computational Creativity -- certainly the Grandmother of CC. She was a clear and rigorous thinker capable of hopping interdisciplinary divides like a parkour master. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare...

Strong contender for the top 10 best music tweets.
Nailed both the formula and the main problem with the music perfectly, while being hilarious.

I have met, interviewed, and worked with many "coding geniuses" and after 14 years of professional software across 7 companies that includes desktop, server, and mobile — I assure you none of them are

An odyssey of darkness, resilience & seasonal drift, Galway-based progressive act Veln's self-titled debut unveils epic & lengthy songs with shades of blackened death, romanticism, melancholic acoustic passages & compelling performances.

For the issue's CV special, I wrote about the Cab's influence in 1980s Yugoslavia.

I also penned the Avant Rock column (w/ amazing albums by @giantclaw.bsky.social and Marissa Nadler), reviewed new music by Merzbow and Bruch and revisited albums by Flower Travellin' Band and Phew/Kobayashi/Moebius.

Nice little behind the scenes on one of the best game soundtracks in recent memory. Which, given the quality in that particular niche, is really saying something.

Power Rangers' success in the 90s was because it honed in on the three fundamentals of good storytelling: dinosaurs, robots, and karate.

If you think A.I. will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems.

Oh. I’m so sorry. I imagine you’re exhausted.

Is this more drama amongst the successor sequels?

I feel like that’s been happening for a while now. The slow rise of Beach House kind of suggests something similar.

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

“Sorry, no dogs.”
“That’s alright. I brought my own.”

Sure beat detection and pitch mapping without and sense of overall form but beyond that they just often don’t seem to be saying anything meaningful.

Delighted to see this published; in the time between the writing & publication, it’s become more relevant & urgent (looking at you, Meta)!

‘Cybernetic Resurgences: Machine Music Beyond AI Slop’ shows how an ethically grounded cybernetics of ML can help us resist AI slop & discourse of replacement

I’m still sceptical of touch designer really. I see lots of cool screensavers but haven’t seen much work done with it than goes deeper than that.

There’s a short punchy 3 page essay to be written on mimetic theory, AI art, and fascism but I can’t be bothered to work through the Girard stuff.

I’m loosing the battle to reclaim Machine Learning from the “AI” movement as it comes to music and the creative arts. But regardless, our new piece now seems to be up online today and we do give it another very whole-hearted try!!
Won’t be backing down anytime soon and all that.
