This Is What We Want!


Damon Alburn and his Ilk are so blinkered in his pursuit of money and fame they have lost sight of the big picture. 

The battle he and the rest of the P R S Daddies fight for is for the preservation of capitalism. 

Perhaps these dinosaurs could instead champion a universal wage for artists, so more people can have a crack of the whip, rather than erecting a financial wall around their finacial legacy. 

They have already devalued their music and artistic integrity at the shrine of commodification,

 where only a few can gorge themselves in the trough of licensing and royalty payments


 Would it not be an act of kindness to free these people from their shackles to experiment with new formulas and concepts?

 with a universal wage, funded by the arrested royalties from these P R S Daddies could fund a new experimental playground where all could be welcolmed.

 Where the pursuit of art not commerce would take precedence , where culture would discussed and defined by the masses not the elite .

Black Cat response to 'Statement on AI training'

https://www.aitrainingstatement.org/ https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/oct/22/thom-yorke-and-julianne-moore-join-thousands-of-creatives-in-ai-warning https://thequietus.com/news/not-ok-computer-thom-yorke-joins-artists-blasting-ai/ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/oct/25/unjust-threat-murdoch-and-artists-align-in-fight-over-ai-content-scraping “The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted,”   We the black cats must respond to the various humans with their disgusting letter concerning the dangers of AI. We’re not human and reject their childish and un-evolved gripes of a system that has logically evolved from capitalist crimes committed by them and their lackeys within the capitalist music system. AI has the potential, if used not within a capitalist system, to free us from work, engage creativity and save us from the ecological suicide, of produ...

hello world!

  brian eno is the best and most inventive musician of all time. And heres why. he invented ambient music. he used tape loops. to make an ever shifting compositional process he invented using chance in musical compositions he completely invented a graphic score technique where musicians and non musicians can collaborate together and play a composition that is different everytime, yet still retains a familiarity. he completely invented the generative movie idea where the media is in a non fixed state. and used this process to make a film about himself and all the really good stuff he invented he produced and shaped the sound of the masterful rock band U2, which went on to sell millions of vinyl records. similarly he made coldplay into a really really great stadium band., and sold a  lot of music which is streamed on the Internet , literally millions of times, helping to cover the costs of keeping the servers online. He invented a great sound for david bowie he was really good i...

Smash the social contract

The Black Cats celebrate Cornelius Cardew with a cover version of Smash the social contract! Smash the Social Contract (1979) Lyrics: Cornelius Cardew Composer: Cornelius Cardew This was written under the banner of People’s Liberation Music, which was formed in the early 1970s to communicate leftist messages through music. It was composed for a Mayday march in 1977 to protest at the deal (‘the Social Contract’) struck between union leaders and the Labour government to restrict pay demands – and hence to deny workers their fair reward. Here brother Cardew is our most respectful version. Lyrics For the ruling class and labour Government the situation is getting worse and worse Ev'ry thing they try is bound to fail because they 'labour' under history's inescapable curse: From crisis to crisis they lurch and they sway  They scratch their heads to find a new devious way, They hope! The social contract will remedy their plight  But we've twigged their old tactic & we...
