Some doofus on threads saying comparing using AI to make music for you is comparable to photographer’s using photoshop and musicians using Bandcamp. I hate him.

A screen shot review of Josaleigh Pollett’s “Like a River” from BrooklynVegan reading: Salt Lake City-based singer-songwriter Josaleigh Pollett will release their fourth album, If I Let It Quiet, on July 24 via Audio Antihero. Here’s the first single. “Like a River is about an attempt at quieting the noise of my own thoughts and of a chaotic world around me in order to try to be more resilient,’ says Josaleigh. “A too-late-coffee-fueled yellow-light-lit silent moment – having arrived at myself just in time to feel my pulse speed up and the news of the day sweep me away into frothing rapids. Hoping for the peace of a quiet river bank, only to remember that a river is swift, chaotic, and ever-changing the earth beneath it. Inspired by Paul Simon’s Peace Like a River- a song I’ve always held in my heart as a beautiful protest song.”

Not the Hefner pictures. Me now, old and fat. The Shine weekender bands can pull that crap but not me. It's misleading people on the shows too.”

Text from a Musicngear interview with Darren Hayman. Musicngear: You recorded your album 'The Shit Piano' all in one day using Casios. Could you talk us through this day and process? (Note: this was a re-recording of the album 'The Ship's Piano') Darren Hayman: “Oh boy, it's just a blur, really. I'm not sure what I could tell you other than what you've just told me. Sometimes, in retrospect, I find some of these ideas of mine to be showing off. I didn't have to make a shit version of an album on Casios. It was a bit of a flex.”
Screenshot displays the following text from Darren Hayman's "Making of the Violence" essay for Atwood Magazine: With ‘The Violence,’ Hayman did something he rarely does; by setting an album in the 17th century, he gave up his natural lexicon and the urban landscape he’d typically tied himself to, while rejecting any impulse to imitate his own favourite artists from the United States. However, his songs here are as relevant and crushing as ever, as queer non-binary music critic Bee Delores recently observed: “It’s eerie that Darren Hayman would reissue his double album, The Violence, at this point in time. Thematically, it speaks to the othering of marginalized communities, as seen through the 17th-century English Civil Wars and the East Anglian Witch Trials. In rooting it within a historical concept, Hayman demonstrates that history will always repeat itself.” We look at the horrors of the witch trials, and we ask how: “How?” Today, we look at Palestine, Lebanon, ICE, and the erosion of trans rights, and we say, “One day, everyone will always have been against this.”

Text reads: "A collection of a few improvised pedal steel instrumental misfits made over the years. I don't really make, or particularly like, the ambient tag, but many of these were originally made for British Airways, Aer Lingus and Malaysian Airlines as calming in-flight 'entertainment'/Muzak; hence the aeronautical theme of the titles.BA sensibly decided not to use 'O Daedalus'! Others were made to go with my late friend Alan ('Stan') Day's wonderful videography, and Hatterjax is a remix by the great and ubiquitous Oliver Cherer... from a steel lick in one of my songs called "Smoking A Consulate way back in 2002. I hate the word 'wellness'. Just call this quiet music for the ill, sleepless and naked." - Jack Hayter (he/him)
