Sure, no problem Unseen.

No sweat. It’s a good topic for another post. I’d likely join in. Just find a juicy article with wide appeal and start it up.

@ Reg

I’d really like us to stick with the original focus on the implications for porn. That’s the discussion I’m hoping to have. That article may talk ab0ut more important things, but it’s a bit off-topic here.

The Warning hits the Billboard Top 10 at #8 in their category, Mainstream Rock Airplay, with the song Sick, which isn’t nearly as good as Hell You Call A Dream or Automatic Sun.

FYI, AI created “girls” from various countries:

Would not surprise me if all this fakery results in sophisticated analysis tools to determine what is real vs what is AI-generated. AI will leave certain detectable markers for now at least. May even raise the market demand for genuine media dealing with anything from news, politics and pornography.

I’m not sure why anyone would…[Read more]

BTW, in case the legal issue with AI images of underage “girls” or “boys” engaged in sexual activities is that the legal theory behind what makes child porn illegal is that it documents the actual abuse of an underage person. If there’s no underage person, there’s no abuse.

Now, some psychologists might look at this and say, “Maybe we can use…[Read more]

The Warning – if they can do Enter Sandman, they should give it a go. I think Paulina would get the drum sound right.

Never happen, I suppose, but it’s fun to think about.

And…finally….one I think will remind you of another band that should try to cover it 🙂

I’m stumped. What third  band are you talking about?

How about Jimi Hendrix’ Purple Haze string quartet style?

I think I might have posted this in a previous post but it is one of the best covers (imo).

For many music lovers, the Disturbed version is now the standard version. He takes this classic to a whole new level.

While I put this one up in the thread about The Warning, it didn’t include the original for comparison, so here is The Warning’s version which is not a cover at all. Instead, they deconstructed the song and put it back together differently, including a noticeable tempo change. First, The Warning, then the Metallica…[Read more]

It was recently voted “top electronic single” in a poll, I can’t remember the magazine that ran it.

It’s got an irresistible groove, that’s for sure.

Donna Summer’s biggest hit was probably I Feel Love, which had an early electronic music background supplied by Giorgio Moroder. The Irish band Ham Sandwich used to perform this song live and it was also on one of their albums. I’m showing a live version. It is about as far from Giorgio Moroder as it’s possible to get. The original follows. If you…[Read more]

@ Simon

Nice, but for some people (like me) who don’t know the original, it’s not a cover, it’s an original. So, let’s also include the original it’s a cover of. I’ll do it for you here:

I’m aware it’s a war. What about the rules of war? It’s not a valid excuse to commit genocide that the other side has bad guys in it.

Oh, they travelled to Egypt and Jordan, LOL. Who want nothing to do with “Palestine”.

So what? Is there an argument in there somewhere? That…[Read more]
