Something I’ve noticed and will share with you is that with all the fluctuations of gold, silver, platinum and U.S. dollars, there’s one thing that stays on a value curve, disregarding the explosive political, economic and cultural fluctuations that inevitably occur in any administration, and that’s high-grade fine art by a recognized master. I’ll elaborate on this theme:
In a sort of demented — meaning “formerly mented” — way, I wanted to share these videos with you, in this time of horrible dread and morbid fascination.
In short, I wanted to demonstrate with the following videos that everybody is incredibly anxious about the outcome, which we won’t know for at least a week, unless Trump’s minions come out by the millions, which I don’t think will happen.
Don’t forget, Trump is a totally stable genius, which he himself admits. Continue reading
Well, heck and darn, I was planning to write a longish treatise on the latest stuff, but there’s not much to tell — however, what there is of it is worth hearing.
Or reading. Continue reading
Suno really opens the doors for poets and lyricists who might not be functioning and professional enough musically to bring their words to life through music, on their own. In my case, I can no longer make music on any of my instruments, so suno is a blessing.
The copyright ownership is a huge plus, too, making it more than just a creative exercise—it’s a potential income stream and a way to really establish ownership of your work — I’m assuming you’re using the “custom” selector. If you just push a button, and allow the program to just make up something, it’s not music.
There’s something deeply empowering in the fact that the artist owns the copyright, for writers who might have felt locked out of the music world in the past twenty years or so. I’m talking about poets who create the verse and then pop it into the song machine to create a DEMO that can make it to the market either as a product or as a suggestion for a product, meaning it’s re-recorded with live instruments and vocals.
Not a long of songs on the market today can say as much.
And from the God State perspective, the song creation process can be a sort of “tuning in” to deeper layers of inspiration, letting the words, sound, and rhythm just flow together and become expanded by the musical notations.
Go directly from the basics of getting set up on Suno for ten bucks a month, giving you all the techniques for pulling that God State energy into the song, so the resulting music doesn’t just sound good but resonates at a higher level with the listener.
I’ll lay odds that people would love a walk-through from someone who gets the deeper layers of that creative process — hopefully yourself. Continue reading
Howdy, folks, just stoppin’ by from my campaign travels to say “hello”. Well, that done, I guess I’ll be movin’ right along to the musical portion of the show. Continue reading
Sure, I know, on several of these songs, I posted them a day or two late, but I had to wait for the video to fully assemble, or something. Anyhow, it took a while.
In the meantime, I also managed to squeak out a song or two that might survive the ages — or at least until spring.
I’m hoping you’re enjoying the songs not only as entertainment but as a challenge, to go thou and do likewise.
In other words, try it, you’ll like it. Continue reading
I don’t want to be a stickler, but actually, it’s not “Halloween”, it’s “Hallowe’en”, short for “All Hallows Evening”, when the ghosts of the dead came forth from their graves, the day before “All Saints Day”, November 1st. It is all so complicated.
It’s like Saint Nicholas was a son of a bitch and a mean man who left lumps of coal on Christmas Eve, and Christmas was a time when gangs of vandals roamed through the streets unopposed.
Aren’t humans fun?
Anyway, I’ve been writing socially relevant songs tonight, and I came up with seven that I thought would be all right, but it’s very subjective — not that your opinion is worth much, either, at least not on that issue. Continue reading
Very Fine walking liberty silver half dollars in handpainted flips is how you can turn a $6.90 item into something that, framed, will sell for hundreds. I have only a few left, if anyone’s interested. Prices vary according to condition of coin.
So tonight, I’ve been making more video/songs — in tonight’s batch, i’ve focused on hip-hop funk, and i heartily hope it meets your approval. If not, i’m braced for it.
imagine an old fuddy-duddy like me, at 83, putting out hip-hop tracks. Well, I figure that if Ari Melber over on MSNBC can handle it, so can i. Continue reading
Hopefully, nothing will drop suddenly out of the sky and land on Earth, but you never know… if things look okay, go ahead and take a chance on reading this.
So, tonight, instead of making new songs — I already have plenty, and some would say too many — I spent a few hours reviewing the songs that are already up on youtube. Continue reading
