🎈165/366 🎵 Memories Moving To The Future
A Musical Box - no, not 🔗 🎵 that one - though in itself well worth a watch - Gabriel at his theatrical finest in 1974.
I happened to drift around some music videos on YouTube last night - and well - some of them just needed to be shared …
Starting with a couple from Robert Plant with the Shape Shifters
🔗 🎵 1 - Robert Plant at Austin City Limits
🔗 🎵 2 - Robert Plant at Austin City Limits
And Then …
Moving on to why Music has a problem. 9 minutes from Rick Beato - listen.
🔗 🎵 Rick Beato on Music created by AI - All AI generated tracks come from 🔗 Udio
Lets see how long it takes AI to do this …
All is not lost - except it might be because we have seen time and time again how the extraordinary is not always understood and often ignored.
🔗 🎵 Guthrie playing .. in The Hans Zimmer Show … just watch Zimmer’s face during this 2 minute solo …
Who the hell is Guthrie (apart from the finest living exponent of the guitar you will ever hear.)
😂 I was rolling in the aisles when they first came out. They just reappeared today and I’m rolling in the aisles all over again. …

That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
While we are on the topic of that election things coming up in the UK …. Excellent reminder from ‘Led By Donkeys’

Great dive into ‘M’ …
🔗📼 But mostly this a short video demonstrating how a repeating rhythm increasingly speeded up just eventually ‘hums’. Quite lovely.

Have you heard of Fillout? Marvelous stuff.

Q: We’ve been getting a lot of questions about an alleged Winston Churchill quotation and I’m trying to verify if it’s genuine. The story is that when Churchill was asked to cut funding to the arts in order to support the war effort in World War II, he responded “Then what would we be fighting for?” Have you ever seen this quote? I’ve seen a lot of sources saying that it’s fake but I would love to get your opinion.
💬 Dan Evon, Snopes.com
The quote came to mind about 80% through Ken Burns Brandeis address.

We all get that broken link message from time to time don’t we? What is particularly interesting on this post is to find EIGHT blocks - I wonder if it is the writers insisting on the block - I don’t think there I any other constant.

🔗 📼 😂 Stewart Lee on Social Media (Content Provider)
Don’t worry, it’s not my usual rant. Just a very funny piece of standup that needs to be watched more than it has.
Whatever you are doing … stop … and 🔗 📼 😂 spend 5 minutes watching this.
The Furor and How One Creative Thinker Changed Everything
To catch you up, you might have missed 🔗 📼 this video .. you can see it at the bottom of the page.
When I first saw it, I liked the visual effect - but really - not the message. As I wrote over on 🔗 John’s blog
I saw that vid .. kinda like it .. BUT .. I dunno … destroy everything physical, crush it to nothing ?
Unbeknownst to this bear - a lot of people were of the same opinion. A ‘furor’ indeed.
Anyway, in the comments thread on John’s blog he highlighted 🔗this ’twitter post’ from Reza Sixo Safai. This is the 🔗 tweet
Now on occasions I do pop out from under my rock and have noticed that these days Twitter isn’t a very nice place to go anymore. So - on behalf of you dear reader, I donned my protective suit, sprayed myself from top to bottom, grabbed the video and behold …. With all and every credit to Reza. ’Twitter’ is the only reason I pulled it to be here - because Twitter, so now all can view it - and those with protective clothing can pop over and see for themselves.
My comment cannot be better than this one …
This is unironically one of the cleverest creative feats I have ever seen. To take a widely-publicized, universally panned ad and then turning it into the exact ad that it should have been, communicating the desired message 10000x better.
