Oh look, the 5th Beetle.

The Long and Winding Byte…

Or The Long and Winding Tape…

Abbey Normal.

I’m sqaurely in the corner where Sting resides: music (and the arts in general) are avenues of human expression, and AI-generated music/CGI visuals/etc are simply uninspiring and uninteresting.https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65627089

Totally creepy album.

It’s still a toy.

The schematic album

.

The Wrong and Binding Load ?

The Bong and Blinding Node ?

The Gong and Minding Code ?

An aging but still relevant post:

… if you’re into ELO… I mean, ELE.

Didn’t get it till I saw Abby Road. Yeah I don’t want my art from a Computer Chip.

McC did a duet at Glastonbury with John with what looks like footage from the roof gig at Apple, put together by Peter Jackson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4UsXksoGNg

♪ the byte goes on…

In his 1889 essay, “The Decay of Lying,” Oscar Wilde said, “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.”

And he seems to be correct. We live in an age where reality doesn’t matter, only what we want to believe. If we yell something loud enough and repeat it often enough, that can make it true. Or at least it can persuade a lot of people that it is true and that is all that matters — making people believe what we want. We have fake news, faux facts, fake Congressmen, why not artificial art?

There should be three other figures crossing with the AI robot: two elderly geezers, and a sitar player in a coffin.

“Nothing’s Gonna change my world…”

MD…nice toon! Clever, insightful and timely. Good work.

The Beatles are for the simple minded.

I’ll be impressed if AI attempts to finish Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony in a meaningful way.

can do it all, even write the album liners, too
