Robert Ridley-Shackleton – "Stone Cold Crazy" (Crow Versus Crow – CVC010) 2018

I noticed recently, that there is no such thing as a group anymore.All the charts are full up of so-called 'Solo artists'(like RRS), who are there strictly for their aesthetically pleasing presence (unlike RRS)....not that I don't find them utterly repulsive (sort of like RRS,but...). The vast divisions of Musicians and technical experts behind these Avatars are largely ignored;only to appear in the background for these stadium tours,as their 'Group'.
Now we've got "AI" algorithm versions of the pop we are supposed to want to hear.So the days are definitely numbered for us Biological Units.Soon there will be no work,just leisure time but with NOTHING to do,it's all done for us.Nietzschen Artificial Intelligence has it all covered Boy's and Boys,ex-Girls ex-girls,and all those beautiful souls in transition.All part of the techno-fascist agenda, to remove anything human from the analogue planet.No sexually compatible partners ultimately leads to No Humanity.Duh! 
Basically Humans will accept absolutely ANYTHING they are told to. If they are told they are a woman trapped in a Boy's body,or that Harry Styles 1.2 is good stuff,then I guess we should all accept it?!
Liam Gallagher ,after hearing the "AI" version of Oasis was heard to exclaim ,allegedly, that (he) Sounded "Mega"!?.....add the AI media suggestion that he was serious and not joking and you have the start of the replacement of biological Art...if you rate Oasis as "Art" or not?.....its cheaper and less troublesome than having the real Liam Gallagher on a contract to your global corporation.
It will get to the stage when Avatars of Avatars will be purchasing the new Oasis album from each other, leaving what room, or what use for Humans? Vulnerable biological machines that were so dumb as to design their own replacements,and then moan about it,but do precisely Nuffink.....yes another Oasis album,with Robo-Bonehead on guitar. Noel was rich and wise enough to buy his own avatar which refused to work with the singer,or Bonehead, for all eternity.
My toes curl at the idea of of an eternal Robo-Bez idiot dancing for the next billion tears,frying his MDMA chip to a frazzle....and going to Avatar Re-Hab with an interactive hologram of Kurt Cobain as his new besty to plumb new depths of the Metaverse.
I may be very WRONG, but i can't see a Robot ever coming up with anything as dysfunctional and deranged as "Stone Cold Crazy" by the HAL 9000 of underground DIY, Mr Robert Ridley-Shackleton......although he may be in big trouble, because the album title has already been used by AI robo-metal by numbers, and bastards, total fucking BASTARDS, Metallica. They'll be sending a terminator out for Robert's bollocks before too long.....maybe mine too?
So embrace the short time we have left,before all literature, all visual art, and all Music, will be created "For Us"(?) by that amazing ,'Award winning',computer program some idiotic teenager wrote in 2023....whoopeee. 
Computer comedy, hows about that then? What more could you want other than a laughing my ass off emoji. "Wuthering Heights" reduced to just a single sad face emoji on a piece of A5."War and Peace",edited down to a yawning smiley face....we're bored but...we're 'Happy'. 
All that gossip tech's real purpose was to test drive and develop our replacement emotions by variations on the Smiley face.
I guess I'm suggesting that there should be a new Luddite movement or such-like?....well....er...yes.....but,queue sardonic use of footballer interview technique, at the end of the day, we's a-getting what's comin' to us....Don't say i didn't tell ya so.
I'm working on a Deep-Fake version of myself to continue this blog for all eternity right now. Of course its a more handsome,and popular version de moi,but at least the idea of me will remain, post mortem....my first interview after i've gone will possibly be with Bonehead's avatar.....something to look forward to is that?...No?
Hasn't ABBA already done this shit?...here cometh the ruthless dictatorship of Bjorn Avatar and Benny Avatar,who's dream it is to cleanse the planet of us biological scum....notice how sexism survives this cyber coup d'etat.....only 'male' Avatars get to be the crimes against humanity big shots.No Agnetha and/or ...er...the other one!
As Metallica once admitted in weak moment,.... "Kill 'em All".
Twats!

Obviously I'm being more Phillip K Dick rather than Phillip K Dick'ead......but am i ?...Huh? Huuuuh?

Tracklist:

A1 Stone Cold Crazy In Love With U
A2 Pest Control
A3 Bury Me
B1 Yol 4 President

I know it's a non-sequitur, but R.I.P. Mark Stewart, G*ddamit! Not that the recent stuff was so great, but the early Pop Group still makes my blood boil. How dare he die before me.

Jonny Zchivago said...

Yes, i noticed his fizzog on several quality news sites and immediately thought "He's died?....shocked to see he was only three years older than me!.....I hate that. Early Pop Group was the soundtrack to my hermit years......wassit ATV, Pere Ubu,and The Pop Group at Leicester Polytechnic 1979? If that ain't some kind of heaven i dunno wot is!?

Henk Madrotter said...

Ahhh, Mark Stewart too? Shit... Seen him live only once, with the Mafia, super heavy dub music, great concert, must've been around '83..... Jerusalem.... Jerusalem....

Sigh. Was the "woman trapped in a Boy's body" crack really necessary? Nobody gets *told* that. It's merely a trope to try and portray trans identity in terms a non-trans person might possibly understand. Or not as the case may be. Have you been reading the Murdoch press again?

Jonny Zchivago said...

Are you trying to get me cancelled?
It won't be long before the Murdoch press will be agreeing with you and bashing you over the head with your own righteousness.
I can't be bothered to read my splurge again to see what you're on about,but the philip K Dick'ead bit at the end sums up my stance on such nebulous idea's. Always the devils advocate,but not.

Jonathan said...

The Murdoch press — and the right wing press in general, and the political right, and the religious right — have been running an anti-trans hate campaign for several years now, and for their own nefarious ends, so I doubt they're going to be agreeing with me any time soon.

But I was just tired. This stuff makes me tired. It makes all trans people tired. So I commented tiredly, even though there was little point. It never makes any difference.

But I like that you can't remember what you wrote and can't be bothered to re-read it to find out. That did cheer me up somewhat ;)
