80s music

The 80s were chockful of New Wave power ballads, synthesizers, drum machines, and no shortage of Madonna and Michael Jackson.

Ten Favourites
Introduction This is inspired by a thread started by a Facebook friend. "Who are your ten favourite bands?". My first problem is that many of my favourite albums and songs are not by my favourite bands.

Ruthless to Aftermath: The Untouchable Legacy of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg
Before billion-dollar beats, platinum plaques, and Super Bowl halftime shows, there was Compton. And in Compton, there was a kid with a curl, a dream, and a name that would echo forever: Eazy-E.

Gangster Rap Never Died: The Eternal Legacy of Tupac, Biggie, DMX, and the Kings Who Built a Genre
From the streets of Compton to the corners of Bed-Stuy, from ‘90s boomboxes to streaming playlists today, gangster rap never really left. It just evolved — shaped by blood, politics, police sirens, and poetry scrawled on the back of legal pads in smoky studios.

AI chips powered by brain cells? Possible
Deep learning, natural language processing, and robotics have all made significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decade. However, the human brain still outperforms even the world's most powerful computers in terms of adaptability, parallel processing, and energy efficiency. Scientists are beginning to look within themselves, toward biology, for inspiration and even integration as AI demands more computational resources. Labs all over the world are now asking the bold and fascinating question, "Can brain cells be used to power AI chips?" Understanding the Advantage of the Brain over Silicon Despite having approximately 86 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses, the human brain requires less power than a typical light bulb to function. In contrast, training a large language model may necessitate massive server farms and megawatts of energy. What is the advantage of the brain? primarily, its construction. The brain's massively parallel, self-organizing, and plastic neural network has the ability to rewire itself in response to experience. Synapses are more than just binary switches; they are also dynamic memory and computation centers. The brain has become a model for neuromorphic engineering, in which hardware engineers attempt to mimic biological neural systems because of its complexity, compactness, and efficiency. However, what happens if we move beyond imitation to integration? The Concept of Organoid Intelligence Organoid intelligence (OI) is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary field that has emerged in recent years. It combines neuroscience, stem cell biology, and AI to develop living brain-like structures—called organoids—for computing tasks.

Somebody To Love
Introduction The Queen song was playing on the system, and I remember when "A Day At The Races" came out, and two of the songs on that album had the same titles as songs by Jefferson Airplane. The other was "You're My Best Friend".

Wildfire
song about losingI have always enjoyed Moses and the burning bush. If you really think about it, a burning bush symbolizing God is a far more powerful summary of a deity than anything relegated to an image of a mortal, made more understandable by a human face:

The Unique Qualities of Love
The Unique Qualities of Love Love is often described as the most powerful and complex emotion a human being can experience. It has inspired countless poems, novels, songs, and artworks throughout history. Yet, despite being so widely discussed and celebrated, love remains an incredibly personal and unique experience for each individual. It defies a singular definition because its qualities can vary greatly from one relationship to another. What makes love truly special are the unique characteristics that it develops based on the people involved, their personalities, and the circumstances that surround them.

Ghosting
Short and snappy lyrics, light rap with a slamming energy, delivering freedom. Maybe a Maren Morris style. Acoustic guitar and harmonies start the verse, building into a heavy drum beat for the chorus.

Home Again
Can someone say, Taylor Swift or maybe Kelly Clarkson even Sara Bareilles? That is the feel these lyrics gave me. The truest love and pain of youth and innocence. Heartbreak on the cusp of experience, molding how and who we would love in the future.
