Sometimes, the algorithms get it right. The computer overlords can feed me vibes like this any day.

Had a nice morning walk in the 50s today, but I didn’t realize it was the 1950s.
BETTER AMATEURS
I’ve heard the song a million times, but hearing guitarist Joe Gore talk about it just gives it so much depth. Like, I can’t even imagine standing in the same room with Tom Waits, let alone making music with the man, and hearing Joe talk like that – even with all his knowledge and skill – it’s just so heavy.
Love the concept of turning the artists into amateurs… using “inferior” equipment, no time to really come up with parts, everything in two takes, and Tom needs to be done by 5 so he can be home with his kids. Man. This is a great interview.
WORKING MEN’S CLUB, VIELS, OM UNIT & JAMES BANGURA
Three artists I found via Bandcamp’s ‘Selling Right Now’ scroller. Please enjoy.

We talk a lot about not letting algorithms and AI take creative jobs – yet somehow we let robots curate “best of” lists and become tastemakers of music and media and art.
We subscribe to cool / smart / interesting people, right?
