Human Art Versus AI Concerns
- Hosts argue human-created art matters more than AI output and defend artists like Mike D'Antonio.
- They see AI as cold, risk of devaluing human feeling and craft in music and visuals.
Budget For Live Shows Wisely
- Accept that higher ticket prices often reflect real touring costs and support artists fairly.
- Budget selectively for shows and prioritize seeing bands you truly value live.
Valentine's Day Release By Chance
- Bleeding Through's Nine accidentally released on Valentine's Day after a push from Feb 9 to Feb 14.
- Brandan found the holiday timing gothically appropriate and amusing.
