Fucking AI in music...
AI music is infecting the world, and it is getting well and truly scary how good it is. Here's a player demonstrating how to "write" a song with AI, and how terrifying this is for flesh and blood musicians.

Music: Shine on you Crazy Diamond - Atom Pink Floyd
A killer cover of a Floyd classic, this band nails the feel and the intent of the original. It is great to see the music being kept alive!

A bad day at work, and some uplifting music to counter. Here's Rush, playing a medley of their most recognizable riffs.

Surf music, played by an all women group? And they slay? SIGN me up!

Music: Mediterranean Sundance with elan
Al Di Meola, doing what he does with his inimitable style and flair. Joined by stellar musicians from the Valencia campus of Berklee, this was a magical performance.

Music: Evil Chicken
Evil Chicken is a killer groove, reminds me of CoC with some The Toyes vocals. Stoner rock at its finest.

Great Restraint: Martin 0-18
A trip to a great music store, and some fantasizing about taking a beautiful piece of wood and steel home. Le sigh.
