Gerry (2002)

Northfork (2004)
Synecdoche New York (2008)

These things always turn out to be less purely AI-generated than it first appears. Is usually either a cynical producer adding AI to songs they wrote (more like early panic around keyboards) or direct plagiarism of stuff pulled into the machine. Will be v funny if it turns out not to be AI though.

“Some of [Carter VI] is at some level bad—how could I say that an album that has Lil Wayne singing along, quite poorly, to “Island in the Sun” by Weezer is not, in some sense, bad? And yet I like that song, so “bad” isn’t the right word. Awful might be better, said with a smile: oh, that’s awful!”

Lots of Golden Beatology this week. Here’s Chicarica’s “Antes del día”

On paper their taste is great…Bob Seger, Misfits, Lou Reed

Metallica has surprisingly good taste and can also make extremely bad music, a very weird one!

Think Joni has impeccable but idiosyncratic taste (otherwise she would have been on the Counting Crows “Big Yellow Taxi herself)

Thank you!

There were fewer people with taste chaos than I expected when I started to think about it. Lots of people with idiosyncratic or iconoclastic taste aren’t truly chaotic, and “bad taste” isn’t the same either

Depends on if I cop out and nominate Shirley & Co's "Shame Shame Shame" after just listing it as my #1 single of 1974 (was released in mid-December)

What Favorite Song does is make a rigorous defense of the expansive discovery that streaming offers and the value of genre mapping as a social and archival project.

You Have Not Yet Heard Your Favorite Song is v interesting re the Spotify genre model that the company basically abandoned. (Think Mood also imagines a landscape that didn’t exist in the aughts and I don’t think you could get back with even the most enlightened online distro models)
