Vale Tito Jackson.

Really sad news about a talented musician who was far too often overlooked in favour of his more famous siblings: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2kddp5x5zno

Here's a performance by Tito from earlier this year, with Austin Brown and BLVK CVSTLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBobSF68Tdk

Roy Orbison had a tough life. It was really nice to see how happy he is in this video. It's great he finally got the appreciation he deserved.

Funky electro house mix, classic Mat Zo

Frank Fairfield really gets an old timey sound.

Champions of Regnum is an oldie RVR open pvp mmo. Quite a few of the players are veterans. This is a fan made song to celebrate the fun of the game. Any feedback? Is it a nice song...

> Travis and Trevor Stuart playing an original G tune "Henry King's Reel". Frequently called at my local jams. Travis is playing a two finger banjo style instead of the usual clawhammer.

I have used Spotify for years, in spite of the fact that they pay artists terribly - the reason for this was that out of all the streaming services, they had the largest and most complete weekly playlist of new releases.

Having a new release playlist like this is quite important for DJs (or people who curate popular playlists... or people who just like music). I searched online and found that people have made posts on reddit stating that their new release playlists have also been severely limited.

After going to the Spotify forums, I came upon the bullshit I have linked, in which a Spotify employee tells everyone complaining that the playlist has always been limited to 30 tracks, and if anyone received more it was a temporary glitch (despite people providing evidence of having 200 tracks for 5+ years), or was caused by external factors (??? lol).

Personally I hate it when companies do things like this. I am not sure whether they are trying to get their power users to quit, or if they truly believe that they can get away with lying so blatantly.

I have decided that I will no longer be supporting them. Figured I would share in case anyone needs to make a decision regarding which service to go with.

> Foster the People has a new album out, pretty good! Torches, their debut, is one of my favs, and I've enjoyed some of their later work too. This one definitely sounds like FtP, though I think there's a little more brass and other jazzy sounds being pulled in. I haven't listened enough to have any album picks yet. > > Have you listened yet? What tracks did you like best? What's your favorite FtP song?

> Some fancy flatfooting from Nic Gareiss!

Probably the funkiest single from Paula Abdul's second studio album, Spellbound. Always gets me in a good mood, I mean in a funky way.

> Alt. link: MACKLEMORE - HIND'S HALL (AUDIO ONLY) [02:48] https://youtu.be/wmg6vbt04TY > > --- > > >“HIND’S HALL” was released by Macklemore through social media on 6 May 2024. > > >The track broadly addresses the State of Israel’s attack on Palestinians in Gaza which began in October 2023. The attack, which has caused tens of thousands of casualties, overwhelmingly civilian, has been widely characterised as genocidal, including as plausibly amounting to genocide by the ruling of the International Court of Justice in South Africa v Israel. > > >More narrowly, the track addresses the 2024 encampment movement which took shape around the world in protest of other states' response, or lack of response, to the Israeli attack. Macklemore, who is based in the United States, particularly criticises US institutions' coercive, brute-force, often militarised response to student protesters using their (nominally) guaranteed rights to free speech. > > >The song is named in reference to Hind’s Hall, a building at Columbia University in Manhattan, more commonly known as Hamilton Hall, prior to its takeover by student protesters. The building was named in reference to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl murdered by Israeli occupation forces. Hind’s fate is known because the civilian car she was riding in was disabled by an Israeli tank, killing most of her family and injuring her, whereupon her cousin placed a call to Palestinian emergency services crying and begging for help before also being killed. Hind subsequently spent three hours on call with Palestinian emergency services, allowing an ambulance to be dispatched and reach her. Upon its arrival, that ambulance was destroyed, and its crew and Hind were murdered, by the same or another Israeli tank. > > >Hind’s call was leaked online and instantly became a focus of widespread notoriety due to the cold, calculated nature of her and her family’s murder — Hind and her cousin’s calls and evidence from the scene consistently indicate Israeli forces were in the immediate vicinity and in visual range at the time of each killing, meaning there is no reasonable chance the Israeli tank crews did not fully realise what they had done. Moreover, the Israeli tank destroyed the ambulance after Israeli forces had provided the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Gaza Health Ministry with a “guarantee” of safe passage and the ambulance had proceeded along a route laid out for that purpose. In addition, after the killing, Israeli spokespeople chose to lie about it and attempt to cover it up. > > >The song also features a sample from “Ana La Habibi”, by legendary Lebanese Arab singer Fairuz, to fit the theme of making a song for Palestine. Fairuz has also been vocal in her support for Palestine over the course of career with the album Jerusalem in my Heart, featuring the single “Zahrat al Madaen”, which became a pan-Arab anthem, releasing only two weeks after the 1967 Six-Day War. > > https://genius.com/Macklemore-hinds-hall-lyrics

> >“One Day” is an anthem promoting world peace and unity, performed by Matisyahu and co-written with The Smeezingtons. Originally released as a single in 2008, the song was later featured on Matisyahu’s third studio album, Light, in 2009. > > >The song received a lot of exposure in the media, including features in television shows, the video game NBA 2K10, and large-scale sporting events like the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Winter Olympics. It is RIAA-certified Gold and peaked at #85 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and #21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs. > > https://genius.com/Matisyahu-one-day-lyrics

Adam Neely makes a really insightful point about the limitations of "generative AIs"/LLMs and music.

LLMs can mimic the output of music, but they can't handle the process of making music.

I think his insight applies to many other creative fields as well. LLMs mimic the output, but not the process:
