Here's a bit of symphonic rock!

Here's a bit of symphonic rock!

This is good! Which is mostly to say, I feel like I'd really enjoy a folk cover of this, but I do quite like it in and of itself

I have a lot of nostalgia for Leonard Cohen's Live in London recordings with the jazzy backing stuff: I think it sets off his vocals much better than some of the stuff with thinner arrangements, and also it was what I was listening to a ton in like 2010-12, so it brings back a lot of memories of trying to put together badly made Green Stuff models or paint Warhammer after school in my mid teens.

Much more metal-y than my usual, but this has a very fun core tune and has really badly earwormed me today.

This is quite interesting. Steve Wilson (from porcupine tree, blackfield & various solo projects) was challenged by a friend to come up with a Christmas song. He said it was not something he could be happy doing. So they got chat GPT to write a seasonal song in the style of himself. He wrote and performed some music for it

So This is a collab between Steve Wilson and AI, pretending to be him

Hm, that's interesting Though I'd need to know more of his work to see how good a job GPT did.

This is the Christmas earworm at my end:

Nice! Here is some very nice & skillful guitar

I may have posted this before sometime, but it's a track I really love. Hammered dulcimers are great, and I think it's a very pretty tune - I could see it being a really good game character or incarnation of the Doctor type theme.

On a bit of a Judy Collins & Joni Mitchell listening run recently. The clarity of Judy Collins' voice is really quite something (her "Albatross" is another of my favourite ever songs, though I like this one a lot too).

Been listening to some Pete Atkin today:
