3:37 – A new show where I’ll be sharing songs I have created with the Suno A.I. (I write the words; Suno writes the music and creates the show art.) First up is a song called “Other People’s Timelines”.
[Verse] It seems that all my kinfolk Have long since turned to dust Both womenfolk and menfolk The weak and the robust And all my friends and rivals Have moved on from this realm The lack of their survival At times can overwhelm [Pre-chorus] But other people may have timelines Where they survive, while I have passed In other worlds with different guidelines With other futures, other pasts [Chorus] I’ve died in other people’s timelines But this is one where I’ve survived Twixt life and death there is a fine line So I’m just glad that I’m alive [Instrumental Break] [Verse] Your fathers and your mothers May leave you all too soon Your sisters and your brothers In graveyards may be strewn Your uncles and your cousins May leave you quite alone They’re dying by the dozens And soon they’ll all be gone [Pre-chorus] But all these people may have timelines Where they survive, while you have passed In other worlds with different guidelines With other futures, other pasts [Chorus] You’ve died in other people’s timelines But this is one where you’ve survived Twixt life and death there is a fine line So just be glad that you’re alive [Bridge] If timelines abound They’re all still around And they may be mourning our passing And if this is true What should we then do? The answer is there for the asking [Chorus] We’ve died in other people’s timelines But this is one where we’ve survived Twixt life and death there is a fine line Let’s just be glad that we’re alive

13:26 – Suno recently scrapped all their old versions, including v4.5, the one I had been using. The current model, v6, was trained from scratch using only licensed music, and I’m rather impressed by the results. Here’s a sample of what I’ve been able to do with v6-mini, the current free version. It’s the first four songs from the fourth and final installment of Dashiell Hammett’s Poisonville, the next episode of my Killer Serials series here on the Onsug.
Background: A private detective is shacked up with his female informant. She’s afraid someone’s going to kill her; he’s afraid he’s going “blood simple” due to the amount of killing he’s either done or provoked lately. He tries to escape into a gin bottle, and when that proves insufficient, she mixes him a gin-and-laudanum cocktail or two. Not surprisingly, he passes out. When he awakes, he finds her dead with an icepick embedded in her chest. Instead of raising the alarm, he proceeds to remove all trace of his having been there, wiping away his own fingerprints as well as everyone else’s. Upon leaving, he arranges an alibi for himself. Oddly enough, when the police discover the body, the icepick is nowhere to be found.
2:43:13 – Dave in Kentucky is joined by Eddie Murray (at 22:32), Chad Bowers (at 52:14) and Frank Edward Nora (at 1:45:27). The usual suspects are all present and accounted for in body, mind, and spirit.

1:43:59 – The penultimate episode of Dashiell Hammett’s Poisonville serial is the most violent yet, and Dave in Kentucky’s accompanying A.I. songs are the most stylistically diverse yet. In addition to the usual country and bluegrass, there are three different types of swing, a jazz waltz, and even some punk rock. Enjoy!
