With bad news and hotcakes now neck and neck for global sales, Jon Manness provides the world pop ditties that chronicle the euphoria of hysteria.
Where’s your sense of overwhelming panic coming from this week? If you have an internet connection, cable television, or even just a friend relating the news over a pot of morning coffee, you’re bound to be scared. In fact, you’ve probably been programmed to be scared for so long that getting no bad news is bound to really terrify you.
Let’s work with what we have. The latest panic, one that, dear reader, has certainly affected me, involves AI and its potential to replace jobs. Would you like to read a joke written by AI for this review? Here’s what it came up with: “
“Why did Jon Manness write a song about AI stealing his job?
Because he realized he couldn’t compete with a lyrically gifted bot, but he knew he could still make a “decent” AI-mpression!”
I know. It stinks!
Jon Manness’ “The AI Wave (I lost my job)” is wholly human. It’s a human voice cracking in exhilaration while singing about pandemics and the state of the economy. It just makes you want to go out and hug a tree. “The AI Wave (I lost my job)” is humorous surf rock and the one story about modern tech that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face today.
Candamius- Patient Friend
Similar artists: TOOL, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Metallica, Pantera
Genre: Progressive Metal, Djent, Alternative Rock
Candamius condense their collective anger as well as their 90s hard-rock discography into one angry, furious song, a great substitute for breaking furniture or attacking your next-door neighbour.
The therapeutic effects of “heavy music” have long been studied. In fact, contrary to how the media has portrayed metalheads, they might just be the nicest, most well-adjusted people you’re likely to meet.
But what’s their secret, I hear you say? Well, dear reader, they, too, get frustrated with the state of the world and with their own lives. But rather than lashing out at strangers, screaming at their mother-in-law, or posting nasty comments on Alt77, they pour theirs into music.
Candamius’ “Patient Friend” is an example of the results that angry hard-rock music can have on your health. This has not only helped this Peruvian group to better process reality. It’s also made them more creative. But beyond the sludgy riffs and the theatrical vocals, there is a sense of humour too. Just take a deep look at the artwork.
So, the next time you find yourself considering throwing your laptop out the window, consider a dose of Candamius instead.
