Every time I hear Luke the Drifter I have the thought "More famous country stars should record under obscure aliases." Then I have the thought "CHRIS GAINES."

@FʡFʢ (: not saying this isn't what Spotify is aiming for. They're actually buying many researchers in machine learning applied to music. For a lot of money. So there is something to it

Hank Williams. What a difference two letters can make, when they are J and r

If you pronounce his name with an emphasis on Johnny rather than Cash, it sounds like a product in an infomercial.

I like the idea of an asylum filled entirely with failed country singers.

Will WFMU be hosting any petting parties? They're a kind of meet-and-greet, I guess.

fred,

Yes, machine learning making music is great! But now when is used to take unfair advantage over real artists. Same type of fraud was uncovered by Spain police last month (google SGAE fraud).
