This brought back some memories. It’s kind of amazing how shows like this made reading feel fun instead of something you had to do. Just stories, imagination and a bit of magic, sometimes that’s all it takes to get a kid hooked on books.
My mom read books during the day when my dad was at work. She'd tell my dad how hard she worked all day :-)
I'd look over her shoulder and wonder how she made any sense out of the page full of text, as there were no pictures. I was fascinated by that, and was well motivated to learn to read.
I was not allowed to watch TV beyond Daktari and Saturday morning cartoons. I hated that restriction, but in hindsight my parents made the right call. My dad would watch the news, but it was just gibberish to me.
Later, I was not allowed to watch Green Acres. My parents said it was "rubbish". I did not see an episode of it till I went to college, and eagerly watched to see what I had been missing. I lasted 10 minutes - it was indeed rubbish.
They should, but they're young, naive and rich, a new generation of "move fast and break things", except this time they've been inserted into the government by a regime who doesn't care and/or who may have the intent to just leak the public's information.
Really intriguing use of Suno.ai, generating AI-backed demo tracks to accompany your album feels like a reverse collaboration.
What stands out is how this method reframes demos—not just rough pre-production but fully formed creative statements in themselves.
Curious: for anyone working with AI in music, does this shift in workflow change how you iterate creatively? And how do you balance AI-generated backbone with your own unique touches?
This is actually subtle, funny, and insightful commentary. To me it says, "just as AI-written text is characteristic, annoying, and hard to miss, so too is AI-generated music." Not sure I necessarily agree, but I get it.
