64 h. ago ‘Who would not want to dance to Boogie Wonderland?’: Alison Balsom’s honest playlist

The classical trumpeter had her mind blown by Dizzy Gillespie and has a tin ear for karaoke. But which Christmas banger really grinds her gears?The first song I fell in love with When I was seven and I started playing the trumpet, my mum would take me to the library. They just happened to have Afro by Dizzy Gillespie, and I fell in love with Con Alma, which Dizzy plays on the trumpet with so much soul that it feels like a voice. I remember thinking: Wow, this is something else.The song I do at karaoke I can recognise the melodies in most songs because I have the ear of a musician. But I don’t really listen to the words – I feel having the words in front of me would throw me off, so I’ve never done karaoke. If I had to, I’d probably do an old classic like Crocodile Rock by Elton John. Continue reading...

6 d. ago ChatGPT has its uses, but I still hate it – and I’ll tell you why | Imogen West

It’s bad for the planet and could make many jobs – including mine – obsolete. But my loathing runs deeper than thatIt’s one of those topics that comes up over drinks or dinner at the moment: whether or not you think AI is going to steal your job.
