April Music Appreciation ~ Hmmm, AI 06Apr23

April's just begun, so fun... when will we not know whether any of these performances are real? That is, when will be the singularity relative to AI (when humans cannot distinguish a bot)? I've listened to a number of AI songs now - even accompanied by official (AI) videos... so eerie... launch all serious detectors. Here are the worthy recent (& 25 yr old) drops for April 2023:

• Some nasty southern blues ~ Samantha Fish - Riders (OV) - 21 Mar23.
• boygenius copying Lizzy & Taylor ~ the film (from the record/OV) 30Mar23, but... it is still boygenius, so yeah.
• Grouplove performing live HERE for a benefit in Austin Mar22; I just missed it before. New official music vid for Hello, All! 23Mar23 and a new album was announced.
  
• Josh & Guest, Alison Young - covering "Mission," AlexG/The Bygones - 31Mar23.
• Lizzy McAlpine on Soundtrack of Dear Edward, Mar23 
• Written by: Lizzy McAlpine, Benj Pasek, & Justin Paul Produced by: Ryan Lerman (yeah, of Patreon & Scary Pockets).
• Neutral Milk Hotel, Naomi, 1996 and a recent cover by Naomi Yang, Feb23.

UPDATE 10Apr23...

I've been adding more WXPN studio live stuff to my mix. Good sound and guests from their Philly spot. As part of that I caught Kayleigh Goldsworthy, a local to WXPN, sporting a Cold Springs, NY troop 114 jersey. She's good on her song "I want to know" but I have no idea where her references are coming from - there is no place or troop (in that spot) like that in Colo Springs ~ oh, NVMND, I misread.

Plus, The Beths, just graced KEXP in Seattle again... always great sound and this drop, several days ago (but recorded at end Fed23), is no exception. I'm a smidge obsessed with this cool band and was very pleased to see them on tour earlier this year.
