Looking at that one artist who “remixed” the “I’m Blue” song and made something completely unlistenable and forgettable out of it.
Fucking hell this comes up on the radio every time I drive and I’ve had to borrow my mom’s spare car while my bike is fucked. I don’t mess the radio because I’ll forget to turn it back, not that there is anything better on anyway.
David Guetta and Bebe Rexha
I’m all for covers, it’s interesting to hear someone else’s take on a particular song, but remixes where all they change is just the pitch and/or tempo are just lazy and unappealing.
Or they add a bunch of trap/dubstep nonsense and lazy stuttered and repeated vocals. It’s been done to death.
In a word, Yes.
The music industry, like the movie industry and video game industry, wants guaranteed hits. What better way to guarantee a hit than to rehash some old thing that is now more than 7 years old. (And falling!)
If you don’t recognize him, you need to watch One Foot In The Grave. It’s on BritBox, maybe elsewhere as well.
I imagine more yanks will know him from the gas mask kid episode of Dr Who
Laughs in “what is that nice bit of Bach doing mangled in that pop song?”
We’re at the point of monkeys typing keyboards and waiting for entertaining things to come out of it.
It’s not that the process changed or got better … we just kept adding millions of monkeys to the system
AI is the equivalent of adding billions of monkeys and while they produce a lot of stupid senseless stuff, every once in a while it makes sense.
War… war never changes
