In the 90s bands made these cringe, grandiose statements about synths, eg these two from Cannibal Corpse and Rage Against The Machine. It seems so quaint and silly in hindsight, like "lmao why were you so upset about keyboards??" It'll be exactly the same with AI.
Whenever I see this in YouTube videos, I cringe a little. Mostly because the editing tools these creators use DEFINITELY employ AI processing and were likely developed using agentic systems... But also because this is such reductive virtue signaling we'll laugh at in 10 years.

I NEED to find a way into one of the final Scissorfight shows in New Hampshire in September! Get at me if you can help!

Children of Bodom are firmly in "classic metal" territory now. Very obvious "I'm old" take here, but... man, Hatebreeder is now 26 years old!! Fuck.

The house lighting truss at the rock venue in Helsinki is a heartagram. Because of course it is.

Anyone who’s worked full time in music media knows well what Finn meant. When it’s a career you’re forced to cover artists you don’t care about instead of the ones you love, and regardless of who you’re covering, writing/talking about it becomes very tiresome and draining. 1/4

Three years after signing the deal with Sony I’m STILL burnt out. Surely Finn doesn’t actually hate music… he’s just exhausted from talking into a camera every damn day for hours on end about it. 3/4

Knowing when to end a creative pursuit that’s also a job that’s become unfun is difficult. Respect to anyone who gets that moment right (wish I’d done it way sooner) while also walking away with some money in the bank. 4/4

No shade on Chappell Roan, who I dig, but the verse riff of “HOT TO GO!” is just the theme music from the BMX event in the classic NES game California Games. youtu.be/PggsHuJdvgE?si=Hlzg…

Great excerpt from the latest Garbage Day newsletter about what the blogosphere was like in the late ‘00s / early ‘10s. Hard to convey what it was like if you weren’t there, but we really had a lot of fun!

Referring to Born of Osiris as "Ice Cream Truck Metal" is one of the funniest things @axl_rosenberg ever wrote. No shade, I like the band. But it's funny. Both things can be true.

A lot of “Alexa, play dark side of the moon” right now.

Mets RF Starling Marte chatting up an umpire between innings, seeking clarification on the Lindor obstruction call yesterday. Umpire demonstrated positioning around the base with his body. Chat lasted about a minute.

OK is it just me, or is this new Alien Ant Farm song pretty good? I back it! Solid view numbers too. Good to see them having some success. youtube.com/watch?v=QBJc5FNZ…

This headline is SO good on so many levels! Absolute wizard-level. Great job, @BLABBERMOUTHNET.
