Above is my reviews passed through GPT-3 with the instruction to rewrite them in the style of early 20th century French literary criticism. Here are the reviews that actually came out of my brain: Berkeley Social Scene Nice and full sound, could use more definition on the acoustic guitar. Not sure w...

Filled with an atmosphere of its own making, Berkeley Social Scene's 'The Last Good Year' is a stirring song that captures the heart and soul of a moment in time. The acoustic guitar brings forth a pleasant melody, albeit one that can benefit from an increased precision to stand out beneath the powe...

Logic does have a feature where you can add some time BEFORE the 1 of your song, and you can on occasion accidentally make that happen and I think that will f-up your stems accordingly because the space before the 1 is to accommodate like, a pickup note or somesuch. I've had to drag that timeline th...

If you try to get everything right you won’t get anything out. You should be able to send him an MP3 to record to. His DAW will automatically convert on import— I don’t know of a DAW that doesn’t. Then he can send you the drum tracks as separate tracks, WAV files, via Dropbox. You can even give him ...

Yaks: 1. We are all in a Slack channel together 2. We make a Google Doc for lyrics and everybody takes stabs at editing it if they are inspired to, mostly Ken starts a draft 3. To a Google Drive, or Dropbox folder, somebody uploads a sketch of a song and takes a casual poll of who might be up for cr...

Oh there’s that time when all the sparks flew out of their chimney and burned all the crops Or when they got snowed in the whole way up to the ROOF and don’t get me started on the little asshole Nellie or that simpering limp noodle Albert. I watched it and haaaated every minute. But it was either th...

I mean, Little House went from 74-83, according to IMDB, so I was 2-11. Star Wars was in 77, basically marking the start of my remembering things. I’m sure on airdate or in reruns I watched most of the 204 episodes of Little House. I have a visceral memory of the scene where Mary comes out of her ro...

NeurodivergentEveryOne I assume this is exactly the way you want it to be. It’s not aggravating, but it’s not super interesting. Best listened to while: loading and unloading a dishwasher The Gross Tones Kinda muffled. The vocals have a little bit of Blind Melon sound in the doubling, crossed with ...

Face Down Yaks of the Industry We survived isolation for this A brand new start, a first kiss I start to think and reminisce Finally more hit than miss Do you want to touch the sky You and me together getting high I wanna get down, get down with you I wanna go down, face down for you It's like I’ve...

A couple lines hint at it; is this from the POV of solar radiation? Or was that not an intended implication? I like that take! That's the POV it's from now! But seriously, originally it was from the POV of Skynet, from the famous "Terminator" series of films. The specific clues are: Termi...

those are ridiculous

What a great song!

Paco of the Stinkopolous (I hope I get better at these) That ride tho. Does that say the first cheese is the sharpest? I like that. Ha. Nice little guitar solo. I do not understand how the first bullseye could miss the target. Wouldn't mind a dynamic change, though I kinda do like the new vibe near...

I mean, yes if it's intentional, but I also might not like it so I guess I assume you're ok with that. Why wouldn't you be? Unless you hoped I would be, in which case, uh, sorry? I think something that bothers me more is being too slavish to a melodic rhythm at the expense of natural-sounding prosod...

What’s your pizza method?

I like the “brown the bottom on the stovetop then add sauce and toppings then broil the top to brown it and melt the cheese” method.

The First Million is the Hardest , by The John Benjamin Band lyrics by JB + Ken The ugly suit I sent you in Is 100% real human skin This is how we’re going to set things right How we burn them all, set them alight The first million is the hardest They’re only human, they’re gonna die regardless The...
