Thanks SCOTUS, Mitch McConnell, Aileen Cannon and the entire Republican Party for giving this Russian asset a second chance to dismantle this country’s standing in the world. You are all complicit in the crimes and his administration are committing.
Thank you for continuing to post this. It happened, and it was engineered by trump, just like the "assasination" attempt.

This edition of Air-Conditioned shines some love light on Arthur Alexander, an artist who wrote and created music that made fans out of The Beatles (who recorded his song “Anna”), The Rolling Stones, and Elvis Presley.

What a bratty spoiled baby!
This is what happens when you have an electorate that has succumbed to “what’s the point” powerlessness. These midterm elections have a potential to be transformative. Please show up and vote. There are people all over the world who would love to have this right.

Along the way, we’ll hear Steely Dan live at Ellis Auditorium in downtown Memphis and Billy Joel live in the studio in 1972 and … of course … Trapeze, whose album cover for You Are The Music ... We're Just The Band captured an entralled audience at the Overton Park Shell.

He presented a very big vision and the population, who is sick of the same old bullshit, or giving him a chance. He deserves more than a chance. What he is trying to do in this collapsing, oligarchic capitalistic nightmare is potentially a way out. We need to support him. He’s one of the good guys.
Everyone of these criminals needs to be hauled in front of a jury. Nothing will happen until the midterms, so either we need an overwhelming amount of people to make it impossible for Republicans to win, or everyone loses and folks start burning the place down. I sincerely hope that doesn’t happen.
I’ve been saying for a few years now, that this shit will be pounded out for next to nothing as a subscription service to producers and media outlets. If there is any justice, they will end up paying to get their AI shit into shows, because loveless art deserves loveless productions.
Zen, I share your feelings that it is a plummeting nose dive to the bottom. I’m trying to wrap my brain around this, because it clearly robs what diminishing minuscule earnings artist in songwriters get, but I keep hoping there’s a bright side somewhere.
Autotune is such a big part of so much of the sound of pop music - country, gospel, R&B, etc - that it might as well be AI, as far as experiencing anything authentic.
I guess the title “You Never Really Saw Me” underscores the AI creator’s inside “joke.” The thing is, it sounded good enough, not great, that I was genuinely curious. Like I told a friend of mine, this stuff will be all over many TV shows and movies, licensed for next to nothing.
Last night we were at a Hanoi bar, and this early-mid 70s-ish soul music was playing. The voice sounded a little bit like a mash-up of several singers. Shazam didn’t find anything, so I went to the bartender and inquired. Turned out it’s an AI Soul singer.

Besides great music, these bands had fantastic distinctively memorable album cover art. In a time before the internet, cell phones, cable TV, the whole of the album experience of music combined with the jacket art were powerful expressions for communication.

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done - The Atlantic
Excellent article by Anne Applebaum.
As soon as this administration is sent packing, and it can’t be soon enough, the monopolies need to be broken up.

The flow felt great, so I added Ann Peebles, Isaac Hayes, Isley Brothers, Average White Band, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, plus some great live Marvin Gaye, debuting the music from his then-new 1972 album What’s Going On. If you like this music, this Air-Conditioned episode is for you.

I’ve been in the mood for early-mid 70s Soul. The messages and the heart in so much of this music still has immediacy. I started with Donny Hathaway, an amazingly gifted singer, and quickly rounded up The Staple Singers, War, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Sly & The Family Stone, and ...

But they didn’t show the golf hat in the apology.
His golf game is being inconvenienced.
I wouldn’t be surprised that Putin would reveal all they have on Trump to weaken the morale of the military and many in this country.
