Every so often I'll hear something by the Beatles I've not noticed before and be awed at their talent - this live recording that's so early it's still Pete Best on drums has Paul doing a flawless Roy Orbison impression. Talent to burn. youtube.com/watch?v=cZaps-…

This won't really damage Pink Floyd's reputation as they've got reputation to burn but fuck me, paying money for shit created by someone typing 'make guitars trippy' into a GAN is embarrassing. Let's hope at least, the outcry warns others off this junk.

If I had to build a razor brand I'd call it 'Occam's Razor' and have the tag line 'the simplest solution'

Ignoring the politics of it, just as a delivering a script thing, this is good. And I think we should praise him that it’s good so he’s encouraged to do wilder and wilder single shot reads like starting like this and it finishes with a rocket going off in the background.
