Featuring tracks from Saharan Gazelle Boy, Giltterer, Prize Horse, Band of Horses, Power Snatch, Yumi Zouma, and Good Hangs
As a software engineer I have had to get comfortable with AI re-inventing how I work every couple of weeks. The release of the Codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6 models this month have been the biggest change to date. It’s gone from these things are useful to holy sh*t this is pretty much as good as what I would write.
It leaves me in a messy headspace, oscillating between guilt around the environmental impact and excitement about the types of things that are now possible to build. It invalidates parts of the business model for my own business Lost Creek Designs while opening the door to build so many of the side projects I haven’t had the time to build.
A real tangible positive impact is that it freed up my time enough to catch a show this past Tuesday in Portland. I got to tagalong with my buddy Joey to see his brother’s band Prize Horse play along with Graham Hunt and Glitterer. They all ripped!
What also rips is this issue’s closer “I Watched All My Friends Fade Out” from Good Hangs. By far my most listened to song this month.
Happy listening.
Looking for new music? Love art? Every week I create a short, five track playlist of the songs I am feeling at the moment along with a beautiful, found postcard. It’s a spark of joy for your eyes and ears.
