One of my favorite holiday songs has alway been “Carol of the Bells.” It has such a different tone than all the others.
It was only today that I learned that a Ukrainian composer wrote the music in 1916, and that the original lyrics had nothing to do with Christmas. The song was titled “Shchedryk” which means ‘bountiful evening’ in Ukrainian. It tells the story of a swallow flying into a family’s home to tell of the bountiful new year to come.
The Ukrainian version is so beautiful. YouTube version attached if you care to listen.

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — 65 years after it was released. This breaks the record for the longest wait from a song's release to its hitting the top spot. Billboard takes a look at how much airplay it's getting, the history of the song, and the 65th anniversary celebrations, including its first video and Lee's new TikTok account.

When I was a wee little child, maybe 10-ish, my parents told me they had a surprise for me. Right now I can't remember if it was for my birthday, or just something they decided to do. They got me to sit down and put some stuff in my ears, and told me to wait a bit...
And then, music came out. But music like I had never heard.
It was the first time I heard a CD player. They bought me the player and a collection of 20 disks of classical music. I was learning to play back then, and wasn't very familiar with it, but it was such an awakening: the clarity of the sound, the way the instruments could all be located in space, the dynamic range, from the smallest brush of a string to the booming brass or heavy tympanis... Not to mention, there was so much complexity: dozens of instruments doing different things, all in harmony, all creating a wholesome, glorious, beautiful whole...
I remember spending entire evenings listening to music, discovering a new composer, or enjoying a recent favourite. As time went on, my tastes developed. I'm not especially fond of most opera, and find large, symphonic works often too much. Counterpoint or chamber works I love, however.
It made such an impression on me, and it was all a combination of what then was new technology, and the choice of the music itself, making for an experience that shaped me to this day.
I thought - since this was just recently finished - I'd upload it and bless you all with yet another cover.
I hope you enjoy this:
Thank you @talon for your mixing, as always.

#Freddie could not sing this with us, but now we have the chance to hear what it could have sounded like. Hats off to Brian May for one of his best songs.

A really nifty deep dive on the current state of #AI #VoiceCloning #music #CoverSongs, via getting the artists #WeirdAlYankovic parodied to ‘cover’ his songs
It mainly shows how distinctive Weird Al’s voice is, though MechaLorde singing ‘Foil’ is pretty good
AI has the potential to disrupt the whole comedy genre of pop-cultural pastiche and parody. Why would you watch comedians doing impressions of celebrities, or riffing on pop-culture texts, when you could just manipulate the celebrity yourself using AI?
Still, what constantly annoys me about the state of AI-driven parody (eg the meme of pop-culture characters as #Balenciaga models) is that the writing underpinning them is so poor
So even if we get to a point where we can completely puppeteer real people’s likenesses and voices, it still fails if there isn’t decent writing
Weird Al’s writing has always been excellent and hilarious. I mean, lines like in ‘Fat’, his parody of ‘Bad’: “When I sit around the house, I really sit around the house”
So far, that kind of stuff can’t be automatically generated – AI-created comedy is of the surreal and absurdist kind that reads as an unintentional, “machine-innocent” artefact of the generation process

Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning - Waxy.org
What would it sound like if the musicians parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic sang *his* parodies instead? I jumped off the deep end into the world of A.I. cover songs to find out, and the results are even worse than you imagine.Andy Baio (Waxy.org)

In 1920, Mamie Smith became the FIRST Black American to record a Blues song. "Crazy Blues” ushered in a new era of "race records.” Previously, white singers copied Black vocal styles in blues recordings, while Black entertainers like Ma Rainey, Ethel Waters, & Bessie Smith were confined to the "Chitlin Circuit." Mamie Smith’s success paved the way for black blues & jazz musicians to thrive.

Anyway here's something I uploaded about half a decade ago where I tried to make 80s/90s Japanese arcade game music even though I no bugger all about making Japanese video game music.
I did it with the Korg M1 plugin to try to get that old sound chip vibe, and didn't use much dynamics processing because those chips didn't, also I'm horrendous at mixing.
Anyway it is what it is, so enjoy, or something.
No visuals even though it's on YouTube. I put it up there because SoundCloud was and probably still is a pain to use with a screen reader, at least on iOS.

Trying To Do Japanese Video Game Music
Just my attempt at retro Japanese video game music.I used Korg's Wabestation VST for all tracks.YouTube
This is Fanta Bourama by Djelimady Tounkara. Considering the above statement, he's mixing in so many styles in this, from #flamenco to jeli ngoni-innspired melodies to #jazzy chromaticism, with immaculate technique and flair, and he makes it all sound effortless. He used to be in the legendary Rail Band before going solo, and is rightfully considered an African #guitar hero. Though not as famous—globally-speaking—as Ali Farka Touré (who occasionally played with the Rail Band’s competition, Les Ambassadeurs), he’s of that same generation of musical pioneers.

Problem. When I joined the Almendros, I joined to play trumpet. I've been a #guitar player for a while, but here, like everywhere, has 1,000,000 guitar players, many substantially better than me, but very few #trumpet players. So, I figured, I could carve a little niche as a brass player. Setting up for practice and gigs was super easy. Showed up with my trumpet case, played, packed up - done!
However, our main lead guitarist has been phasing out, so after I joined, it was, "Kemi, can you learn this guitar part? Kemi, can you play a guitar solo here?" Didn't really like the tone of the guitar I was using, so I went out and bought one (Les Paul copy in the photo).
Then I wanted a new amp. Then I wanted new pickups. Then I thought, "I should get a better mic for my trumpet." Then I got another trumpet mute. Now I want ANOTHER new amp. And another guitar, why not. And a sax.
So now I got G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) real, REAL bad. Why was I never warned? I blame you all

First performance of O Canada at the Congrès national des Canadiens-Français. The song would later become the national anthem of Canada #OTD in 1880.
The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Governor of Quebec Théodore Robitaille for the 1880 Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day ceremony; Calixa Lavallée composed the music, after which words were written by the poet and judge Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The original French lyrics were translated to English in 1906. via @Wikipedia
