Peak.

This morning I installed a music player that I am unfamiliar with, and decided that the first thing I should listen to is Angine de Poitrine Vol. 1 and Vol. II since I hadn't listened to them in a while. And then I found, by coincidence that they played the Montreal Jazz Festival last Saturday (June 27th, 2026) and broke the attendance record set by Stevie Wonder in 2009.

His church thinks electric guitars are the devil’s work. But Father Tabakis is on a mission to change that – with Paradise Metal, a religious dubstep album that outdid Daft Punk and Aphex Twin

My favorite cover of 2026 so far. I have had this song on repeat about a week.

In case you needed a reason to get up today.

The LP came with the CD, and today may very well be its first time played. Not that I'd ever sell this, but the black version is about $350 on eBay.

Also in the bounty: Descendants - Hellraker Live, which I have no recollection buying, but no one else in my family would have; Ramones - Eaten Alive vol 1, and Blondie - Autoamerican

Hi $USER,

AI music generation tools are changing how music is created and distributed. As this technology evolves, Tidal is introducing platform standards to protect artists, their craft, and inform listeners. Here are the highlights of our new AI Policy:

• Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an "AI" badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.
• Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We're implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.
• Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.
• We will expand these policies to music that is substantially AI-generated when AI detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.

You'll start seeing these changes from July 15. Check out the full policy here. To learn more, please visit our FAQ. For the music, The Tidal Team
