G’Ra Asim (Baby Got Back Talk, Uppity) contributed an essay to the Nation Magazine on the punk-rock appeal of the Women’s Professional Baseball League.
”A lot of the viral content about being an aging punk or emo kid focuses on nostalgia, as if the upshot of belonging to a forward-thinking subculture is to perseverate on the past. But the skills and instincts that we honed in VFW halls, garages, and church basements are just as easily applicable to the pursuit of gender equity in professional sports. Why settle into being a mark for the contrived cash grabs of your local Emo Nite when you could sublimate your ennui and residual angst into supporting a likeminded subculture like the WPBL instead?
Spotify Aims to Launch AI Remix/Cover Feature
The Financial Times is reporting that Spotify hopes to release an AI product in 2027 that lets subscribers create “remixes” and “covers” for $5 a month.
The product would allow paying subscribers to use AI to create their own versions of popular songs, such as transforming a folk song into a dance track or making one artist appear to cover another’s music.
The timing and pricing have not been finalised and remain subject to change, the people cautioned.
I hate this.

Brian Fallon Talks With Louder Sound
Brian Fallon talked with Louder Sound:
Where I come from, there weren’t a lot of opportunities straight off the bat. Nobody knew anybody who was famous. Maybe you knew somebody who could get rid of a body, or an uncle who could shake a guy down if he was bothering you after school, but that was it. The idea of getting out into the world was crazy – I had as much chance of going to the Moon as I did to England. Really pushing through all that is a special thing. Everybody has struggles – tough circumstances, disabilities, mental health issues – but you can always push past what’s in front of you.

Read More “Brian Fallon”Review: GAMETIME – The Fresh Start Effect
Who couldn’t use a “fresh start” these days? With so much negativity going on in the world, it’s important to look out for each other and take care of our mental health. Kansas City, Missouri pop-punkers have this concept top of mind on The Fresh Start Effect, their first new full-length record in 17 years. Guitarist/vocalist Kyle Devlin shared, “GAMETIME is releasing an album!
I never thought I’d say those words. But somehow, we’ve found ourselves in this splinter timeline where our band made its way back together. I’m thrilled. Nick, Gabe, Caleb, and I have spent the last two years committing ourselves to finalizing this project. It’s required a lot of work coordinating schedules and getting together for hours. It has been an exercise in patience and collaboration. But little by little we crafted 13 songs. I’m impressed with our ability to have so much fun in the undertaking of it. I genuinely think the ones who have cared about or interacted with our band are going to find plenty to love about these tunes. We aimed to make an album packed with hope and heart. Thanks to our focus and grit, we willed it into existence.” With a newfound enthusiasm for their music and a solid approach to their songwriting, GAMETIME have delivered the goods on their new record, The Fresh Start Effect.
