DANNY SAPKO: I am the ONLY person on the Internet to NOT talk with him this week

 

DANNY SAPKO seems to have filled my YouTube feed the last weeks, with his shorts, talk, talk, talk and name calling out more popular Internet Musicians. Then this week he seems to be interviewed by many of those Internet Musicians.

I guess that was his aim. To build his brand and, maybe, be the BEHS playing Rick Beato of YouTube. He is entertaining enough, and THAT seemed something to do a quick MUSIC+COMICS on this morning. 

No doubt I will hear all the things that are a "bit off" in the music later and just have to fix them, but feel it is "okay" after a few non critical listens, and wanted to get this short out 8AM Saturday morning Kyoto time, rather than one of the fake streaming FM station remixes I had actually prepared earlier.

Other Stuff

My Facebook feed now has so many AI generated posts. An AI generated illustration, then a long rambling ChatGPT generated essay about something designed to not get to any point, or generate anger for "engagement" which is what the algorithms are after.  Nothing from anyone I know anymore. 

I was happy to find CAR STYLING New Era #2 at the bookstore yesterday.

I have a small collection of the originals, including the last issue in 2010 where publishing has to shut down and can't continue. Also an issue of an earlier restart attempt that had a slightly different format. 

A significant publication in the world of product design for decades, that seems have gone back to specifically focus on transportation again. I maybe retired but still follow this stuff.  Will probably do some comics about some aspects of it.

I didn't expect to, but found this chat with Penn Jillette really interesting, as it has the unexpected interest in music and Bob Dylan.  Dylan's music was on the radio when I as a kid a lot, but it never engaged with me, even though I knew he was a master story teller in song. 

Not sure if just old age, but I am far more interested these days in a documentary about something that actually happened than watching fiction.   Am watching Season 2 of FALLOUT though, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere much in the 5 episodes have seen. A third player? A Virus from that 3rd player?  First season seemed to have gotten to the point faster, and this filling in the backstory..

Just got a call on my phone and remember I have used this as my ring tone for 8 years or so now... edited to take away the slow start.
