My Actifit Report Card: November 20 2024 - Copperboots, The Quiet Queen

about 3 hours ago (Edited)

YouTube sent me a music video today which I thought was pretty good. The band is Copperboots which seems to be made up of John Copperboots and Helen Gavin. The music is described as Darkwave Goth Electronic and reminds one of 80s bands like Depeche Mode.

The song is mid tempo and you can dance to it. The mood is somber as it is for most Darkwave and Goth songs. The vocals are male and the instruments all seem to be synths. The description talks about how the track was created.

This song is an original creation, written, composed, and recorded by us. Our experimental process involves using neural networks to process the sound...

So human created and recorded, AI help to "process the sound". Sounds like what we all do these days. Even here, we think up and write our posts, but we use spellcheckers and maybe Grammerly to process the words. Seems fair to me.

Have a listen to a new band with an old vibe. For me, Darkwave and Goth fit the Fall season. Things are dying, but we hope for a glorious rebirth as the cycle turns onward.

My Activity

today was general random movement. One must learn to take breaks often when one is preliminarily sitting and doing computer work. It is important to get the blood and lymph moving, at several times throughout the day.

I did take my daily nightly walk. It is windy out. The wind is forecast to get much worse, leading to near tropical storm gusts. That may limit my computer time in the next few days as I don't turn on my computer when there is a good chance of power failure.

The temperature isn't bad though, but the wind made it feel colder than it was. I took a regular length route and earned over 9K on my actifit number. I briefly saw the fullish moon between houses as it was very low in the sky. Maybe the moon is more visible where you are. We all look at the same moon and live on the same Earth.
