I guess for every party there’s at least one Buzz Killington

Tool are hitting on tour in 2024 which sucks their not coming to my hometown

AI killed the musical star

AI killed the musical star

I used to work at RadioShack

A simpler time when opinions weren’t fact

Gone are the days of the 18 track

Didn’t know we’d wronged until we couldn’t go back

@Holofan4life
AI is not gonna kill music.

@TheHappySpaceman
I don’t think they’re being serious, they’re just making a parody

@TheHappySpaceman
I’ve been experimenting extensively with AI drawing, and I agree.

One of the things I noticed is that coming up with good prompts is a skill unto itself. Not the same skill as drawing, mind you. It’s more like being a director and a key grip. I’ve been using it for something a bit more ambitious. I’ll find a base image, then tweak the prompts to make a series of images that look like they’re from the same “set”, and that tell a story. Assembling a series like this is more like film editing. A big thing I noticed is that it’s basically impossible to prevent continuity errors.

I think AI drawing gets as far as it does because a single static image is way less complicated; a song is a highly technical thing with a lot of moving parts. The other thing is that basic art literacy is fairly accessible, and it’s relatively easy to translate that literacy to a prompt. In fact, you don’t even need art literacy; a working understanding of a booru’s tagging system is more than enough. Most people do not have basic music literacy. I’ve taught myself composition and music theory, and I feel like by the time a person has the knowledge to generate good prompts, they would have an easier time just firing up a DAW and applying their knowledge directly.

Another big thing is efficiency. I can look at a generated image and instantly know if the quality is acceptable. With a song, you have to listen to the entire song. I imagine trying to create a bug-free AI song is exponentially more frustrating than creating a single image.

Even then, I doubt it’s going to have an effect Kevin MacLeod hasn’t already had.

Okay I never expected that the next Trainwreckords would be on Nickelback of all bands. It’s for their 8th album “No Fixed Address”, aka the album that has my least favorite song from them “Edge Of A Revolution”

Apparently, Snoop Dogg has “quitted” smoking joints now.

New Judas Priest song dropped today on Spotify

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Guess we’ll have to see if that lasts

@Dashie41 YT
That’s awesome!
Though after hearing their previous song off the album, I think I’ll pass on the spoilers ’til the album comes out

@Mr.Myoozik
Okay, I did not wanted to hear friggin Nickelback make a groovy, funk song with some Neon Hitch-esque female singer.

Still love this performance of “Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper” with both he and James LaBrie sharing lead vocals, and former keyboardist Derek Sherinian sharing keys with Jordan Rudess.

Welp, add P Diddy to the list of disgraced artists

Three artists died

Charlie Dominic of Dream Theater
George Brown of Kool & The Gang
Heath of X Japan

@LeoNero
Geez, Biggie would be shaking his head from heaven. I feel bad for Cassie.

@Mr.Myoozik
I got about nine minutes into this episode before I had to turn it off. God, this is depressing. Maybe later I’ll be in a better mood for hearing Todd reiterate how rock is dead over and over.

@Mr.Myoozik
And two of the three, Dominic and Brown, both on the same day.
Ouch

Not gonna lie, Todd in the Shadows’ latest Trainwreckords may be the first of his videos that I couldn’t sit all the way through. It leaves me feeling like I just spent my entire life learning to use a typewriter.

@Mr.Myoozik
No way Heath passed away thanks for telling

In Flames may had a great comeback album it ended up being Sadus who takes the crown of comeback of 2023 what a brilliant 17 year wait album from one of Thrash Metal’s Underrated
