...and now generative AI with which you can create your own music tracks,

You ever check out the Axl ones on YouTube?

Some, obviously horrendous.  I would put the vast majority as good, not great.


But the ones that are great are EXCELLENT.  I have a few of him doing Roxette tunes and Adele tunes.  Not artists that typically populate my iPod.  But they are fucking incredibly well done.

yes, "AiXL ROSE" is a very well trained AI for example, my favorite

I guess it's a convenience thing. Streaming doesn't take up any shelf space.

Up to 31 plants.  I told Donna if I came back to turn the hose on me.  But I did go back and picked out 5 more for Scott's area.  Left them there for him to plant.  In the meantime, I'm clearing out the areas I'm planting all this stuff in.

So the rain just put out the flames.  Sondra eode her lawnmower over and we burned for  a few more hours.  Coals still hot this afternoon and I got the pile close to half gone.  The coals are so hot they are black so I'll burn some more tonight.  Kind of need to empty the fire pit.  It's getting full.

I can't count or maybe I took a few more than I thought.    Came home with 21 plants, some are for other garden leads.  Sunday is a stormy day too so they are hanging with me until Wednesday when we can put them in.

I got to Garden of Hope, the garden my ladies' gardening club maintains.  It was supposed to be a work session to clean up the garden.  The wood chips had arrived early and were sitting on the parking lot.  It was me and the lady in charge who showed up and she can't do much physical work.  Says they don't have many people who can do that kind of work moving wood chips.  Fuck.  And she wants to lay down cardboard all over the garden and then the wood chips but first we have to put a berm of them along the one side.  Two hours later and 7 carts, done with the berm.  I joined this club so I didn't have to do physical labor.    I did like the dump cart, so much easier than pushing the wheelbarrow.  I have to get one of those.  Garden looked good though.  They had already done a few work sessions to clean it up.  It's going to take forever if I'm the only one moving the wood chips.  Decent size garden.

Beautiful night, rain coming in but may not actually rain.  Decided to burn my brush pile.  It was a beautiful night until the thunder started and then sheet lightening.     Ran for the house and left the fire burning.  Almost didn't rain but then a brief downpour put my fire out.  Will try again tomorrow.  That brush pile needs to go.

There's all kinds of fans at shows. Some, as you pointed out, still like to buy CDs and/or LPs. But I'm sure there are people there who like to listen to the artist on streaming only, and they will still go see the artist every single time. And not just young people.



The first show I saw was GN'R in 1991. I think my ticket was about $20.

Haha, I can guarantee it's not just young people. I'm getting up there in age now and try to see my favorite artists every time. But, like I noted earlier, I sold or gave away most of my CDs once I got a car that didn't have a player and went to Spotify. I'm like you, however, in regards to (uber) favorite artists: I will still buy hardcopy editions of new music, although, admittedly, some of it is more for display.

I saw them about the same year as you and my ticket also was about $20. 

I only came home with one and left the rest at the garden.  But it looks like we are getting hail tomorrow so what I left there to plant on Saturday is going to hide out in the trunk of my car.  I'm running back up there in the morning.  I'm only taking about ten:  Pink Veronica, Blue Sage, Ohio Horsemint and some Asiatic Lilies.  Most are pollinator plants.  Two are in the mint family.  I'll probably regret that.  Never let a mint out of the pot.   

3 of the top 10 I never knew existed.  Interesting to see Songs in the Key of Life in there.  I thought that was long forgotten.  Great album.

Whenever anyone posts an old concert ticket stub, I am immediately drawn to the price, like...damn.

I got some that say $5 and I was right up front.     Last few posts are bringing back a lot of memories.  Lots of regrets I missed a lot of bands because at the time the money wasn't there.  Albums I didn't get to own.  But music sure had it's place in my life at one time and it was good.

I have no more plants to get in the ground.  No plants in my garage!

I'm going to a gardening meeting tonight.  We'll see if that status changes.
