In this episode, Martin and Billy kick things off chatting about the evolution of movie soundtracks, the art of networking in the industry, and the ever-shifting landscape of music streaming. Then, they switch to discussing Lily Allen's controversial but highly rated new album West End Girl, it's very personal lyrical depth, and how it measures up to her previous work. Along the way, they sprinkle in some insights about music discovery and the challenges artists face today.

This week digital distributor reported that roughly 50,000 fully AI-generated tracks are now uploaded every day, accounting for more than a third of all music delivered to the service. Good lord!

Thank the same lad then for the continuing existence of bands like Primus that seem to come out of nowhere and do things that are just not something you could ever be produced by AI mush. Our advice - love it or hate it, we should all try and be a bit more Primus.

This week we listen to Angel Dust by Faith No More and discover that while initially wrong-footed by the range of styles and theatricality it's an album that improves immediately on a second listen. Is it bold or ridiculous? You might just have to decide for yourself.

Plus, we discuss Spotify's recent deal with the big three labels on AI licensing and share our thoughts on how AI could shape the future of music creativity and performance.
