I usually think of Crystal Light as more of a summertime beverage, but maybe I’m missing out.
Is it just me, or does the lady on the cover bear a strong resemblance to Amber Ruffin?
Explanation included; and now, on to the real music!
The album is choppy and I’m pretty sure the original had more songs on it. Having only to listen to LZ because it was playing didn’t make me a fan. But I’m a fan of this … AI? generated fun stuff!!
they do pink floyd too. and kate bush. i think this is the beginning of a fad. yay!
camiidae released a new album today:
This is one of my favorite artists for music to work to, and music to short-circuit dread spirals in my brain. It’s comforting and cozy, without being boring. My dog really likes their albums, too.
AI, I’m guessing? Because those singing voices only “sound” like the big stars of the time (I swear, though, on “Waiting For My Man” it’s a Billie Holiday; ironic, maybe?). Like, “in the style of” cover artists of people covering popular hits of the time (1970s), but not the performers who did 'me originally.
Yeah, probably. Which sucks. It’s pretty close to real-sounding at first, but yeah, a closer listen reveals its inhumane inhumanity. Ugh, kinda scary really.
Also, even if it were human, it’s just absolute shit. Shows you that the big band interpretation of Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights doesn’t work with the words of the song. Kate Bush’s vocals and the melody are other worldly.
It’s not like they took Fred Astaire’s image and made a Dirt Devil commercial from it, long after he died:
I think it’s fun. (not the Astaire thing - ick!). It’s paying homage without actually duplicating the exact voice/s of the originals; it makes Led Zeppelin music more accessible to those who otherwise despise the group; and, as a singer myself, singing along to it is fun. I was forced to listen to their music on the radio and to watch guys try to be Jimmy Page (before they discovered Eric Clapton, and they’re both blighters) throughout my adolescence (oh when
Bonham vomited himself to death the band was s’posed to be playing near Detroit; I heard more lamenting about that than maybe his family, y’know?) and I am despiser now, lol.
BUT…also as a singer, how the fuck do I compete, not that I’m really exerting myself in the first place? How do others who are exerting themselves compete?
the only solution, IMNSHO, lol, is for a breakdown of electronic communications, and we’ll all have to interact with each other IRL before the WWW. i could be wrong, but i can dream, can’t i?
When he’s 84.

Joni Mitchell, You Turn Me On Like a Radio
Trying to keep my brain distracted while I prostitute my body on the assembly line for 10 hours
Yesterday, this song from the 1970s came up on my playlist: “Proclamation” by Gentle Giant. Seems appropriate for the times.
Frightening.
