Welcome to a virtual compilation album called "Motor City Zeroes & Ones" from GEORGE STEREOPHONIC RECORDINGS. It's exclusive to SoundCloud, because let's be honest—nobody buys music anymore, and if you do, well, congratulations on owning a time machine. This album is a collection of AI-generated rock songs from a bunch of virtual artists that are virtually from Detroit between 1968 and 1978. 
The artists here are as real as the virtual French mime named Pierre. Yes, you heard it right—a mime in a rock compilation. That's the level of absurdity we're dealing with here. These virtual acts range from Rock, Funk, Folk, with a dash of Free Jazz for good measure. It's like someone fed an AI all the best bits of Detroit music, hit shuffle, and then threw in an obscure folk singer for kicks.
Opening the album is Ikky Flop with "Only AI & Nuthin' to Do," a virtual confession of boredom in the TikTok age. Following him are other luminaries such as The Irrationals, Tonic's Run Down Band, F-Punk, and The Down—all virtually unknown and probably staying that way. All these virtual artists share a virtual love for the Motor City, and they express it in their virtual lyrics, which could be anything from poetic to nonsensical, depending on the AI's mood.
We're in 2024 and rock is virtually (pun intended) dead, but thanks to artificial intelligence, it's back from the grave, like some digital Frankenstein monster stitched together from the best and worst bits of Detroit's music history. Be warned: this compilation is a paradox wrapped in a riddle, sprinkled with sarcasm, and then deep-fried in a vat of nihilism. If you take it too seriously, you're missing the point. But if you can handle the chaos, grab your virtual headphones, dive in and question everything—including why you're reading these virtual liner notes from a cheap Lester Bangs wannabe obviously created by AI too.
Are you ready to kick out the virtual jams, virtual mofos? It's virtually 1970, and I virtually feel alright! It's a virtual funhouse of sound, but don't forget to leave your sense of reality at the door. Because none of this is real, except for the music, and even that's up for debate. Enjoy the trip. Or don't. It’s all the same in the end. More importantly, don't forget to tip the virtual French mime on your way out.

"Detroit Soul"

The six-time Grammy-Award winning Don Was' resume has more highlights than a Steph Curry career retrospective. It's just three pointer after three pointer with this guy. The Detroit-born musician, producer, film composer, documentarian and record executive got his start in the high school outfit The Saturns, but his band Was (Not Was) is the one that put him on the musical map. A kind of New Wave soul outfit, Was (Not Was) put out a handful of fabulous albums, and had a few hits before calling it a day. From there he
became the music director and consultant for movies like Thelma and Louise, Toy Story, Honeymoon in Vegas and The Paper. He produced albums by the B-52's, Iggy Pop, Bonnie Raitt, The Rolling Stones, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan, directed the Brian Wilson documentary I Just Wasn't Made For These Times, and snagged an Emmy for his work on the CBS special "The Beatles: The Night That Changed America." Remember, this is just a partial list. He's hosted a show on Sirius XM, been in a band with the Dead's Bob Weir, led the house band at the Library Of Congress and currently serves as the President of Blue Note Records. Oh, and he's the voice of Neville the Dog in the children's show Pete The Cat. His new band Don Was And The Pan-Detroit Ensemble play a raw blast of fevered R&B and kinetic soul. An energizing mix of originals and covers, their sound is a dynamic blend of feral grooves, prowling basslines and pure musical joy. They're on tour for the rest of the month and the beginning of June with more to come.

"Planet Girls"

Sponge's new album Planet Girls is a thrilling listen. But here's the thing: it isn't new. Recorded back in 1999, when the band turned the record in to the company, the folks in charge didn't think the material would connect with the current cultural zeitgeist. So what did they do? They shelved it. Big mistake. A dynamic blast of hook-laden power and melodic muscle, Planet Girls brings to mind a scruffy blend of Cheap Trick and Stone Temple Pilots. And here's the funny thing: the album can't be placed on any timeline--it sounds as fresh and as vital as ever. Over the course of their multi-decade long career, Sponge have done it all: played Lollapalooza, appeared on Letterman, toured the world, opened for Kiss at Tiger Stadium and had hit records like Rotting Pinata and Wax Ecstatic. Singer Vin Dombroski is one of the most charismatic frontmen in recent memory and also a thoughtful and engaging conversationalist.
