11/27/24 Show 235 : Ain't It Fun (When Your Friends Despise What You've Become)

I’m sure you were all deeply alarmed (as was I) earlier this week to learn the unscrupulous Wheelchair Full Of Old Men Records had plans to relaunch Sockeye while employing an AI approximation of vocalist Food Fortunata.  It’s a chilling development to be sure (particularly as Mr. Fortunata is very much alive and well) , but before we all jump to conclusions, perhaps it would behoove one and all to wait for the final results before passing judgement. Disruptors like Wheelchair Full Of Old Men didn’t get to the top of the food (fortunata) chain by respecting the status quo (or Status Quo, for that matter who are probably due for an AI upgrade of their own).   Due to yet another failure on the part of East Village Radio’s rights clearance department, there is no Sockeye on this week’s program.  To be honest, I am no longer certain what any of us have to be thankful for.
