News has become more and more idiotic. Once you have decided what’s important to know, news generally becomes less important to day-to-day functioning.
[5/8/2025: Looking back 20 years it was the advent of the internet that stoked news idiocy, 30 years before in 1995 it was the post-Rodney King, post-Waco, post-OJ, post-Oklahoma City world that were in the 24-hour news cycles, 40 years ago in 1985 it seemed less insane. There was no way to vent online, and we did fine].
A Songday ditty based on this. Think real heavy guitars, not cheesy MIDI sounds.

Autolands, A crab canon to be rapped/chanted backward and forwards, lines 1-8, and 8-1 with set rhythms. One pitch or a chord can be used as well. As the original Autolands was in Gb Lydian, the use of characteristic interval (#4, Gb-C) would be recommended. If SATB, Gb-C-F. If four, Gb-C-F-Bb.

As I was watching the Vatican live there was an interesting juxtaposition of bell ringing and a brass ensemble (Bbs). It gave me an idea, so I quickly scored it up. It's polytonal with the low strings playing a 3-bar repeating phrase of E-naturals and B-naturals with oscillating G minor and E major triads and a repeating Bb on top. Could possibly use drums on it ioth a backbeat.
