Yeah the doom and gloom pronouncement was hella premature. There are a number of excellent releases thus far in 2024. -

So nearly four months after my last post I now have 12 new releases for this year with two others due this month (one is in transit from Korea). Not all of the releases i have bought have been great, but I don't think anything was awful other than maybe Bon Jovi, but that was expected. So far its: Mick Mars Crazy Lixx About Us The Warning Lipz Sebastian Bach Judas Priest Bruce Dickinson Gun Maverick Durbin Bon Jovi On the way is new Rolling Quartz EP and new band Nek! is due the end of the month. Oh and Ghost's soundtrack album is due in less than two weeks. I also have Terrorvision on preorder towards the end of the year. There are several other new releases I am keeping an eye on as well, but really depends on how many older albums I pick up (and there has been a lot so far this year). As said before, why all this fucking doom and gloom only three months into the year was going on is beyond me. Just because bands "you" like are not releasing, does not mean that bands other people like are not releasing as well, especially if you have a wider variety of musical tastes. Hell, while I have always been a Priest fan I have never been a massive fan, and their new album fucking blew me away and is still my album of the year and I never would have expected that. -

"Whore" by IN THIS MOMENT. Someone showed me this song a couple days ago, and I thought it was pretty cool. -

I'm overhauling some of the back-end functionality over on the main site, but I need some help with raw data to provide enough scenarios to test. If there are any CDs that you see missing in the main site database, please add them here: https://heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/submission87.cgi (Please keep it to on-site genres; let's not push boundaries at the moment.) Thanks! -Dan -

We are at a tipping point IMO, with respect to what AI can do for... or TO... our society. As with many things, it can be a great timesaving tool... or it could literally destroy society as we know it (only slighly hyperbolic). As the algorithms get better and better, and it becomes harder and harder to distinguish AI-generated from human-created, entire processes that were once manual could now be almost 100% automated. We're already seeing the impact on music, art, pr0n, but the high-profile media-focused clickbaits are just the tip of the iceberg. 1. Entire industries could see mass layoffs as AI takes over major functions; cumulatively this could be disastrous. 2. We already have a hard time telling deep fakes from reality with respect to news fabrication and manipulation; it's poised to become even worse during election cycles... the term "fake news" was never more accurate. 3. Lawyers are chomping at the bit: the legal and ethical entanglements are ginormous. Copyright and intellectual property transgressions loom all over the place, not just in the arts. Schools, colleges, and universities are struggling with how to deal with AI "tools" when it comes to assignments, research papers, theses, and published articles. If you can prompt an AI tool to spit out a term paper for you and you just tweak it, have you actually done any research? Is being published actually proof of accomplishment or intelligence anymore? The biggest problem right now is the vetting of what any given AI tool spits out vs. trusting it blindly; we've seen this recently with some high-profile Google AI gaffs... this has the potential to be quite dangerous. It may not actually be SkyNet 2.0, but there are aspects that are VERY concerning...
