Greg is back from playing at one of his favorite venues and decided the time was right for BienVenue.

Nick kicks things off this week with a brand new game! With the arrival of technologies like Chatbot GPT, a predictive language engine that’s scaring as many people as it’s impressing, songwriters like Nick Cave have been responding, uh…strongly (you can read his post here). Cave claims the attempt to emulate his writing is atrocious, but is it? Introducing A.I. or Real Guy? Contestants are presented with an artist and 4 lines from a song verse and have to decide whether it was written by A.I. or a

The entire movie, which was filmed in less than 3 weeks, stylistically fits Weird Al perfectly as it continuously parodies movie tropes old and new.The Philosophy of Modern Song is a book by Bob Dylan containing 66 chapters of Dylan’s musings and reflections on modern song.

Greg has some fun updates from the past week and brings us an amazing new album. Keith Jarrett has released his 2016 live improvised concert in Bordeaux and it is incredible. Jarrett retired in 2018 due to health issues, so this may be one of his last shows. It’s very different than his Köln Concert from 1975, highlighting his classical influences as much, if not more than, jazz. For anyone seriously interested in piano or jazz or Jarrett, it is a must listen.Songs:Keith Jarrett - “Part V”Keith
