agreed.

Seriously. Top 10 motivational shit, right there.

That's pretty amazing, like Chrome, but cheesier and trashier. In a good way. Had to look 'em up. I'm guessing the rest of it isn't much like this.

the album is pretty nuts, but that is the best song. mutant sounds posted it a while back.

Um,

After all these years still the awesomelypumpingdrivingforwardest song ever:

Suzanne Somers presents Wire in 1987:

"Really love this track and version and thought it would be nice to do some looping over it.."

we're not worthy! (even better: the whole show's on here!)

(that's Mick Harvey on drums, Barry Adamson on bass and Blixa on guitar, of course)

Jesus fucking christ, I was just thinking of them mere minutes ago, was gonna put on a song from Boatman's Call mere minutes ago, and here you have to go and post this. Oh my fucking god, I'm going to You Tube right now.

See, now, I've never been a big fan of The Cramps (even if I respect what they tried to do, and I enjoy hearing them from time to time) but I'd love to know what Cramps fanatics might think of that clip.

Long xpost: still no "Stupid Kids" but "Big Plans" is there. Neat:

someone posted this in I Love Games, but it has been played repeatedly at my house
the sunflower has such a pretty voice. i keep expecting to hear "go flower, sunflower"

Christmas - "Stupid Kids"

Great video from the near-forgotten Boston band...

OK never in my life did I expect to hear a steel drum band doing "Transmission". I can't decide if that's amazing or the worse idea in the entire world. Either way, I'm pretty glad that happened.

SEARCH on YouTube: Pan Sonic Plays Kurenniemi, parts 1 -> 6 (60 minute performance, Pan Sonic + the Finnish synth inventor play the original 50's & 60's instruments)

You really need to watch the whole thing if you're interested in early electronics, but check out in part 2: 4:02 onwards (a beat) and 8:00 onwards (touch control!)

does anyone remember that series of videos that guy did where he overdubbed bad guitar playing over "guitar god" videos? I'm looking for it.

If Google agrees with Universal that AI-generated music is an impermissible derivative work based on the unauthorized copying of training data, and that YouTube should pull down songs that labels flag for sounding like their artists, it undercuts its own fair use argument for Bard and every other generative AI product it makes — it undercuts the future of the company itself.

If Google disagrees with Universal and says AI-generated music should stay up because merely training an AI with existing works is fair use, it protects its own AI efforts and the future of the company, but probably triggers a bunch of future lawsuits from Universal and potentially other labels, and certainly risks losing access to Universal’s music on YouTube, which puts YouTube at risk.
