Definitely fits under "alternative" lol. Where (if anywhere) does A.I. belong in music? Song drafts? Adding depth to your own work? Banned?

Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair
Do you think it's gonna make him change?

And that's a pretty nice haircut...

In honor of my partner's new super cute hair cut. ❀️

Album of the day 🎼: Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop, first Beck album I bought, because the cover looked cool. Was pleasantly surprised.

The intro is fun, Savoy is plain awesome.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beck%27s_Guitar_Shop

PS sounds just slightly better on Tidal 48kHz over Spotify 44.1kHz , but barely

@alternativenation
Do you remember the first album you bought with your own money?
For me it was Even in the Quietest Moment by #Supertramp
I had asked my older sister for advice, and while we didn't really have the same taste in music I wasn't disappointed.

Edit: Uhm, not sure Supertramp counts as alternative though...

@alternativenation a friend of mine introduced me to #Portishead when they were still active, and it was very different to music either of us usually listened to at that time. I still really like them.
https://youtu.be/8T0cRt8efsQ
I still associate the song Wandering Star with the science fiction show Babylon 5 πŸ˜„
My mind just made a connection there somehow and now I'm stuck with it.

I recently found some old cassette tapes I had recorded from tv and radio sometime mid 90ies. The quality was atrocious but I rediscovered a lot of bands that I had completely forgotten about. Eerie memory lane trip.

Deep cut for Femmes fans. That time they re-recorded a very quirky horn-infused version of "Blister In The Sun" for the movie Grosse Pointe Blank for some reason.
