Fear not ! JacksJukebox has been returned to its rightful owner. But can AI really take over the music world?
Now, let’s get to the point. Was the AI correct? (maybe). Is it really the future of music and journalism? (maybe). Is there still any hope for me, a Journalism graduate, to achieve my career dreams? (hell yes there is).

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: The basic brilliance of ‘Pixies’ Kim Deal’s bass playing
A little known fact about me – I play bass. I’m not great but I’m not terrible, it’s just a nice little hobby. When you ask a bass player for their greatest influences, you might get Paul McCartney or Flea or, if you’re a real bass nerd, Jaco Pastorius. But for me, the basic brilliance…

What comes into your mind when you think of 1950s Yugoslavia? I bet you’re not imaginging them walking around singing Mexican music and wearing sombreros. If you are, well done, nice knowledge.

AROUND THE WORLD: Jazz on Russian bones – How and why discarded x-rays were used to sneak forbidden music behind the iron curtain
Imagine a world where the music you listened to was controlled by the state. Imagine having to meet a dealer down a dark alleyway just to listen to The Beatles latest track. Even more unbelievable, imagine listening to this music on a discarded x-ray of someones rib cage. This was the reality from the 1940s…

“I promise my Spotify wrapped is always wrong, even though it is literally factually correct”
It’s that time of the year again. The one reason to still have Spotify instead of Apple Music has arrived. To paraphrase a tweet I saw yesterday, “If nothing else I’m just a girl who likes being shown statistics about herself.”

How and why did an 8 year old boy from Grimsby sing for 40,000 people? And was it even that special?
It’s the 24th of June 2008, an 8 year old boy desperate for a day off school agrees to go with his mum to see her favourite band, Bon Jovi. Little did he know he was about to have an experience that would lurk in his shadows for the rest of his life.
