This is ghoulish on a level I can’t fully comprehend. An AI-generated children’s book about watching the beautiful glow of bombs falling on innocent civilians, framed as an act of courage in order to convince a child that murder is good. The mind boggles.
This is a children’s book that was written because the author was trying to explain what’s going on in Israel to his five-year-old daughter and he couldn’t find a resource with which to do it so he wrote one himself. Under the Rockets' Glow: Shira's Journey to Courage by Roman…

Worst musical score of the decade. Maybe of my lifetime. It’s a white guy who’s never listened to jazz before trying to recreate a Trombone Shorty album from 2011 based on the free samples he can find on iTunes and saying “music sounded like this in the 20s, right?”

One of the artistic hills I’m dying on is that genre is a fundamentally social phenomenon and that artists shouldn’t concern themselves with it.
The problem with the Marsalis definition of jazz as having 1) swing, 2) blues, and 3) improvisation...
...is that bluegrass music fits that definition perfectly, and Bossa Nova has none of it, but jazz school students study Jobim, not Earl Scruggs.
Genre is a weird thing.
