What does AI band The Velvet Sundown's rise mean for the future of music?
While few expect The Velvet Sundown to start picking up Grammy awards in the near future with its bland indie ballads, there are some who are beginning to wonder. Advertisement In the space of just six weeks, the band has pumped out three albums containing 13 songs each and had close to 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify as of July 22. But The Velvet Sundown – or rather, its makers – do not hide behind the fact that it has been relying on artificial intelligence to do so. 'Not quite human. Not quite machine. The Velvet Sundown lives somewhere in between,' it says on the band's social media accounts and its Spotify site. It is said to be a band of four, but the members have not been seen in public so far. Images of the group have evidently been created by AI. Advertisement Music by The Velvet Sundown started making the rounds across streaming platforms in early June. Combining rock, country and folk elements, most of the songs are interchangeable, mellow and tame – as long as you ignore lines like 'March for peace, not for pride' in the group's most played song, 'Dust on the Wind'.

Pisces Love Horoscope If you are now in a situation where you have met somebody who has sparked your curiosity, allow your instinct to direct you. Plunge into the discussions that ignite the sparks of connection, and let the joy of getting to know someone's mind and body fill your soul with the thrill. This is the day when you can spoil yourself in the bliss of blossoming love, unravel the enigma of the unknown and let the new connections embrace you.

McDonald's introduces new menu item
McDonald's has added the Daily Double burger to its national menu, expanding its value meal offerings. The Daily Double features two beef patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, tomato, and mayonnaise. This new burger will be included as an option in the McValue Meal Deal bundle, starting July 22, offering customers more for less. The launch coincides with a week-long boycott of McDonald's organized by The People's Union USA, which accuses the chain of price gouging, an allegation McDonald's denies. McDonald's also recently introduced two limited-time dessert items last month: the Hershey's S'mores McFlurry and the Blueberry & Crème Pie.
