I wish I liked "Anatomy of a Fall" more than I did. (It felt like a waste of time because it never revealed or resolved anything, but I did learn a bit about the French court system!) Anyway, I appreciated how this song was used. So good.

The main way I interact with AI is trying to figure out which setting buried deep in the menus of the program I was already using was secretly switched to "AI-on" during the last update without my consent and flipping that switch back the other direction.

Maybe Silicon Valley should wake up to the fact that a large number of us are treating built-in AI features the same way as we do computer viruses.

Louis Prima is amazing. Always come back to him. (I have to admit it was Martin Scorsese's movie soundtracks that really opened my ears to him...)

Also this mashup of "Take Five" with The Stranglers' "Golden Brown" works so well I have to imagine one inspired the other:

Indeed. And a shoutout to Goodman trumpeter Louis Prima, who wrote it. Goodman groups are my favorite of the Big Band era. "Sing, Sing, Sing," so dynamic. "Moonglow" . . . . So mellow.
