"Death Letter" opening theme from True Detective TV series Season three. Cassanda and the whole band are great on this.

The music directors of the HBO series were the best. Every episode starts with the theme here, but they all had brilliant choices of different closing credit music, from blues to rock to opera.

We go to a restaurant that's part of a hotel. The entire hotel has piano music playing. The music could easily be done by any AI tool and with a pro Steinway patch, no one would be able to tell. In fact, the piano stuff they play is so lame that it may well be generated! Commissions still ok.

I know and I get it. (Keeping this public as there are things others can learn.) I did get sales on BC but I had a serious conflict I won't retell. Spotify worked better before the 1,000 stream thing, obviously. But sync offers may start to suffer significantly from AI injection. Hope not!

I see it now, it's the one search found. It's also down on thelist, I expected it to be high up, featured even. I think I didn't hit "show all" cause I was in a hurry. But that is the track on the lists. You should see a few hundred more hits on that... per year. 🀣

Like me you have a lot of releases and I didn't see it, but what matters is I found it.

It doesn't appear on your artist page, but a search found it. It's on several of my lists now.

Great piece, Mr Smith!
If only the big tech "thought leaders" (and CEOs) would do what is right, it would change the country in a good way.

But one thing is standing in their way: Shareholders.

Is this going to be on Spotify? I have sevral playlists there. Or have you given up on Spotify, just the agency posts there?

Robin Lee Field is a soulful singer, an excellent guitarist and songwriter. I am very proud to be a part of this release.

Four You (feat. Art Resnick & Pete Effamy)
YouTube video by Randy Resnick - Topic Four You (feat. Art Resnick & Pete Effamy)

Two people had a big musical influence on me in the past years. My pianist brother Art, who died two years ago, and saxophonist Pete Effamy. They both play on my track "Four You". Pete's clarinet work is nothing short of stellar.

Bluesky Feed Creator

Good morning! If you want to make your Bluesky experience even better, take a look at this feed creator. You can put all your interests in keywords and see a feed of posts using the words and names you give it and not seeing things or people you specify. You can do the latter with filters.

07.08.2025 03:58 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I find it useful as long as you know the caveats, but another more worrying factor is what you about resource waste. Water, electricity and let's face it, time, yours and mine!

Welp, you can see I am not an AI as my quotient of typos is at least one in every post! Some of this is my 13 year-old keyboard, but the rest is on me.

Follow this feed for the original music of the best BlueSky creators. And if you make original music, post one track per day with the hashtag #SkyOriginalMusicTracks and get in the feed. Hashtags are limited to three total. Link to a playable track (not PR) and you're in!

I actually jumped through some major hoops to get back on Twitter, and I'm posting about this support thing now. I alm following 0 accounts but have almost 900 followers. Mostly bots, probably, but I see a few friends names, too. Maybe DK will reach out.
No way the emails I get are from humans.

I'm not bothered by #AI in any other capacity than support; IT CAN'T DO IT. Hire hupman beings to do the support and give them agency to act.
#DistroKid it's shocking how it went from good to unusable. The other are no better, they are all competeing for the lost useless support service.

06.08.2025 19:12 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

DK used to be the best support. Now, of the five distributors I've use (DK, LANDR and CDBaby), only two are decent and that's because I haven't needed any support!
#AI can do music and graphics, but it's horrible at support!
Get some desperate humans to do support, it'll be better than what's now.

I will ask about something, they do the "see our FAQ" links, etc, but even when I break through to what is supposed to be human agents, they are either just more #AI or people who have no brain at all. I can't believe the support wenr from good to useless for any other reason than reduced staff.

06.08.2025 19:08 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The worst think #AI has done is to make support worthless on sites that use it. Two recent issues on DistroKid, which used to be excellent support, are absurd surreal discussions where th ereplies from them, which are either AI or people who do not understand English at all.

IRONIC!

I needed to make a change to my (unused) Twitter account. I couldn't get in. I went through support and it worked better than almost every support I have needed in the past two weeks!

DISTROKID SUPPORT went from excellent to worthless in the past year or two.

Great music doesn't have to be complicated. No matter how simple, this works. Mr. Lanois is a genius producer, too.

Listen to Toots solo in the beautiful composition. Solo is about 2 minutes in, but do not skip there! The solo is exemplary, it's simple, yet couldn't be any better IMO.
