L'équipe de campagne de Dati à Paris se vante d'avoir capturé en photo le chanteur Harry Styles lors d'une distribution de tracts dans les rues de la capitale. "Je lui ai tendu un tract comme à tout le monde. Et, très poliment, il a refusé", sourit David Alphand, le vice-président du groupe Changer Paris au Parisien. Espérons pour LR que les Parisiens n'auront pas la même réaction. https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75/paris-harry-styles-photographie-incognito-pendant-une-campagne-de-tractage-pour-rachida-dati-29-09-2025-AECTCABRTZFGRNFUBNVUCFB7KY.php

When I wrote Space Pop, it was an exercise in fighting writers block. Generative AI had just come out and I wanted to write something about robots and the fate of humanity under an AI overlord. It was meant to be absurd nonsense, but ended up becoming an entire universe with an epic story… in my head that is, not the song. After recording the track I thought that the song didn’t really make a lot of sense without the universe I’d built around it, and that still only existed in my imagination, so I resolved to create a music video, if only to breathe some life into the Rover and show what a Dizzy 😲 Ray is! I spent several months learning #Blender3D and many of the disciplines required to use the software like solid modelling, sculpting, skeletal animation, hair simulations, liquid simulations, dust simulations, geometry nodes, materials, textures, lighting… I could go on. It was brutal. Especially hair simulations which had me pulling my hair out. I followed a lot of YouTube tutorials and tried to adapt each lesson into something for the clip. Anyone who’s done some YouTube Blender tutorials might recognise some in there. No doughnuts though. I even did the video editing in #Blender! It’s super powerful software.

The first take was sung by me, and the doo doo doo’s were played on an electric guitar. I invited my friend Kaaren to sing on this track and gave her the first take to listen to for a week. When she arrived she was humming the guitar line with her doo doo doo’s and I just thought it was perfect and replaced my guitar line with her vocals. She smashed out the whole song in a single recording session. There’s no pitch correction or anything, it’s all just Kaaren having fun with the music.

This is Kaaren’s only recording. Grab yourself a copy on #Bandcamp for #BandcampFriday

This toot will also be my submission for #AlternateFridayMusic, for the word is #Pop!
