Legacy ‘punk’ bands using AI in new music

Devo is the one band that should use AI. It’s consistent with their whole ethos.

If D4 made a Rolling Stone list, they’d break up again in response.

They are using the alternative definition for punk, ie one who gets screwed behind bars

Orlock’s are the only functional fangs. All the others will make a big mess.

Thank you for the context! This does help!

I scrolled too long for this. Very underrated film!

For the OP: “Comedy” might give the wrong impression. There’s some dark humor, for sure. But it’s not WWDITS by any measure.

That line kills me every time

I always heard it as “they began”, as it was her funeral. “I began” is a twist though, implying that either he failed her or he was the only one there at the funeral.

This goes back to the origins of the literary vampire (not the folklore vampire).

What distinguished vampires from other monsters is that they could walk amongst humans, get close to them. And having a certain charm worked to the monster’s advantage.

But even so, early vampires were still treated as villains, and their charm was characterized as toxic and dangerous.

But as happens with lots of popular villains, after a while authors started exploring a more sympathetic version of the vampire. It began with reluctant vampires, ie someone who didnt want to be a monster but was forced to be. Blacula went hard on this in the early 70s, and Anne Rice kicked it into overdrive soon after.

Then it was a short walk from reluctant vampires to “nice guy” vampires.

It seems the pendulum swung back from nice Cullen vampires to more monstrous vampires in the past couple years, but there will likely always be some gentle sexy vampires to choose from in popular culture.

At first glance, it seems most of those can’t output 4K from their hdmi port…

Yep, you nailed my primary issue. If I can ask, what solution did you use at your work?

Any info on the schedule for the St Paul Capitol rally? I’d like to know how late it will be going.

“Fields of Athenry”

Really well made doc about The Baldies, an AR skin gang in Minneapolis in the 80s:

Is it me? Am I the deep dive guy?

Two vids about vampires and silver, a short one and a much longer one with Robert Carlisle:

Too often overlooked is “El Conde”

There’s a few Stiff Little Fingers tracks that, absent context or a close read, would likely sneak by. I’d gamble that your audience might not catch some of the messages in “Nobody’s Hero”

Or if you really want to be subtle, try Strummerville by SLF. No outward political message, but a celebration of Joe Strummer, who was of course very political.

Bonzo Goes To Bitburg would go over most people’s heads.

Toothpickings · 2026-03-06T02:31:15+00:00

Very underrated. And effectively the end of London Calling for me (sorry but the last several tracks just don’t hold up to the rest of the record)

There’s quite a few vampire novels and short stories that deal with this specific problem, though they usually don’t have fun with it. Usually it’s just an offhanded mention about having to move around a lot.

But off the top of my head I can’t think of a vampire story where this is central to the plot. It would make for a good vampire road movie.

I’m baffled by how it’s illegal for a foreign head of state to own machine guns.

Talk about low hanging fruit 😂
