An article so self-indulgent you find yourself longing for AI written ones.

>Grainge sports an impressive pair of aural appendages that move up and down the sides of his head when he’s talking.

I mean come on. 13 paragraphs of this before AI is even mentioned.

The part where UMG's CEO is complaining about how "legitimate artists" deserve more revenue from streams was interesting. He's not actually complaining about AI here but about amateur artists getting as much money from streams as "legitimate artists". "Legitimate" meaning fame and a direct tie to UMG, as if those are the measures of a musician's worth.

I was going to say it read like a puff piece about a corporation that makes most of its money from legacy back catalog
AURAL APPENDAGES, four letters: EARS.

Is that right?

SCOT or BELL can also work, especially in a cryptic.

    a thing that is added or attached to something larger or more important.

    "they treat Scotland as a mere appendage of England"
and they never shut up about it.

I guess this is a comment about context.
