Where Do I Go Now?

Plowing straight ahead through the confusion and rapidly changing era of AI.

STOP HERE!

September 25, 2025 Spotify removed or took down 75 million tracks of supposedly slop made from AI to protect their subscribers. 75 Million! Fast forward to October 16, 2025, alongside Universal Music Group and Sony, they officially teamed up with Warner Music Group to develop licensed, “artist-first” artificial intelligence music tools for the platform. WTF? This doesn’t sound to me like they had the viewers or subscribers in mind so much as the profit that was/is clearly behind this whole sha-bang.

The copyright office has been scrambling to figure out how to handle this problem as they are quickly falling behind so their laws are rapidly changing to. Anytime there is big profit to be made or lost big corps will always muddy the waters until they can find a way to control the profit margin in their favor. Now the Feds are jumping in to regulate the laws too. Like I said, Big money.

I got worried that everything I was trying to do was slop but guess what, it’s not. I have my radio dial up and running and am having fun with this whole thing offering free sounds to those who want to listen to them. I am making an album with the ones I personally feel are the cream of the crop in what I write and sing. I have been very clear on the fact that I am not a musician but I am someone who likes to think I know what I like in music and to be truthful about it I haven’t heard a lot since the 90s that wasn’t anything more than commercial pop shit that some AI slop I’ve heard sounds a lot like or even better than.

Proceed with Caution!

I started playing with Suno Pro in November of last year having fun but quickly got addicted to putting sound to my words and deep dived into what was possible. Since that time I have spent many hours learning the ins and outs of this confusing but interesting path. I still want to make a vinyl record for my collection because who wouldn’t want to have their own LP in their collection?

So in learning the legalities of this I found I had to drop the ‘Dawghouse’ and ‘The Reel Rebel’ as those names had already been trademarked or copyrighted for use and I don’t need to be sued for using them. No worries, true it was a little frustrating to have to let go of them but I think it worked out for the best as now I have tied everything into one clear path, Peaceful-threads.com is my offical site name for this blog and is under protection legally. [Hoo-Ray!]

With that in mind I learned I could use Peaceful Grooves as a name for my radio dial found here and after weeks of searching I came up with a name I could use for my band. [to be continued]…

Sunday, Suno & Siri

I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday today and hope you are too.

I started the morning out by cruising through reader. I didn’t feel up to a post so I turned the laptop off and turned the stereo up. I listened to the following three albums while tidying up the dawghouse.

1 - ELO Another World Record
2 - Eric Clapton Unplugged
3 - EWF Sprit

I then checked my email and came back here and looked at your comments and to reply before heading to my DAW to make mistakes and learn. That didn’t happen.

After reading Siri’s comment on ‘Gotta Start Somewhere’ and seeing she subscribed to the other site I have parked waiting on the meter to run out on it I went into poetry mode and ended up in Suno. The following song was made this afternoon and reflects on the friendship we’ve made over the years. It can be found on 103.3.3 on the DM Dial. I hope you enjoy this along with enjoying your Sunday.

A Clear Blue Sky

By the way, if you haven’t checked out Beyond Sirius Sea you should do so. She has amazing talent in both words and images, find her here https://siriussea.wordpress.com/

I have a couple more in line too.

Peace out

Gotta Start Somewhere

Running from myself

https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/04/24/three-things-challenge-mm404/TTC
Your final three words this week are:
RUSH
ROLE
RUPTUREImage based on the iconic truckin’ pose from the 1970s R. Crumb illustration

Heading into the weekend in a slow pace I didn’t want to rush myself writing a post this morning. I have surfed reader and walked away, came back and looked at the daily prompt with sad eyes and a dead thought process and walked away again. Lately I have been at a lost with the ability to write anything that sounds decent to me. My poetry is not up to par and it has me confused to say the least. I guess today my role in the Dawghouse is to rupture your eardrums with a filler song at best and more than likely slop. I like the music but the words not so much. Enjoy your weekend.

Starbucks Sloppy Spam Session 

Up early in the morning with the blues doing a Starbuck cruise

Daily writing prompt What makes you nervous? View all responses

I’m getting a lot of comments that I am landing in the spam files 🤔I don’t know why but Thanks Jetpack. Along with this I have only been able to write sad verses lately, I guess I’ve got the blues.

On a happier note I am starting to understand how to use my DAW so that’s pretty cool. Hopefully I will be comfortable in it when I get the booth up and running so I can record in it. I sound like slop right now as my voice isn’t trained and I’m croaking hitting certain notes.

Speaking of slop, I’m making these videos as I have so many credits in openart that I’m wasting them at the end of the monthly cycle as they don’t roll over. I can’t make enough images to consume that many.

Last April I released my second book “Silent Screams” and over the course of a year it made zero sales. It is a complete opposite of “Ink Stained Love” that shows the darker side of my altered mind. No complaints here, I am still so grateful to Dawn Pisturino for encouraging me to do the books and AJ Wilson for turning me on to Suno. With that said I am not marketing them and have been turning them into songs with AI. In my mind there is both slop and some good songs on the DM dials. Here is an example…it can be found on the dawghouse dial 103.2

The Music (was over)

This brings an end to the Starbucks Sloppy Spam Session for now. Have a great day!

A Dawghouse Dial Release

I present a new track made in Suno now playing on 103.2

After my last post this morning I spent the day in school, kind of. I was watching videos and reading articles on how to use a DAW. I have been playing with it and quit for the day. I came here and after checking your comments I wrote this. I then put it to sound.

Written Words

I was slow to approach you
Butterflies were all inside
The warmth of your eyes
Telling me I had to try

The conversation was easy
Like we were old lost friends
Before I got up to leave
I asked if I could see you again

Words are written down
Of how I feel for you
How you melt my heart
When you call me 'Baby Boo'

After our third date had ended
We knew we both were so alive
Becoming one half of the other
Was the way our love began to thrive

You've always stood beside me
Believing our dreams could be real
Honey you've made my life complete
You still make my heart do cartwheels

Words are written down
Of how I feel for you
How you melt my heart
When you call me 'Baby Boo'

Honey call me 'Baby Boo'

Written Words

ENJOY THE WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!

Deep Dive 3: Surviving Slop

Slop has been around longer than Suno.

Last night I posted a poem and song that was written quickly and the song, made in Suno Pro was total slop. I posted it anyway. Why? I gave this little thought but was really wanting to do a post without racking my brain to much as it was later in the night. Hence the slop song.

How many times in life have you written a poem and found at the end it just didn’t cut the mustard? Before the internet I used erasers [the little thing on top of a #2 pencil] to magically make the slop disappear and write it again and again until it felt right. When I liked what I had made it found it’s way into the keep it file, a box of cluttered thoughts on paper tucked away to be read a thousand times by only me.

I still have that box and it is stuffed with one liners or poems half finished. Dawn gave me the inspiration and courage to start publishing my poetry on WordPress and then to offer them up on platforms like SpillWords. Thanks my friend. After putting two books together I learned many things and boosted my confidence leading me into the future. Evidently slop remains in my repertoire and shows itself as such.

The thing is this; Everybody writes slop sooner or later. Making slop and making money off of slop are two different things and should be separated as such. I think this is the problem with AI assisted music. I have made some songs that to me are damn good [does that make me conceited?]

I have not released these songs outside of the Dawghouse Dive. I want the world to know what I am doing with AI and accept it for what it is. I will release these when I feel I am covered within the laws of copyright issues. I just want to make sure the con artists aren’t taking my stuff and changing a title or word and trying to make money from it by suing for copyright infringement.

What makes that so different than what real musicians do? Exactly!

With that said I will say this about my journey. I purchased a new microphone yesterday and will have it by Friday. I’m stoked about this as now I can start training my voice for recording and find out if I have what it takes to sound decent enough to continue on this path. If not will I keep going? Hell to the yes, at least until my subscription to Suno runs out. I still will own the Mixcraft DAW and learning that is time consuming to say the least. I watch hours of videos and read tons of articles trying to learn how to use this program. It is teaching me a lot on the direction I am heading in.[Note to CUZ]: I can now tell you what chords I am producing these songs in along with BPM’s. Hit me up.

That’s about it for today as I want to enjoy this rainy warm day relaxing without doing a lot of typing, enjoy life my friends.

Fresh Thoughts

I rarely eat out as I prefer to cook for myself but…

Daily writing prompt What is your favorite restaurant? View all responses

What was the Question?

This isn't a fast food drive thru
That we are gonna talk about
This is a relaxing meal for two
Leaving no room for any doubt

Mai Sing all you can eat fish
Best place you can find in town
Going down there is total bliss
And brother, I'm not jokin' around

To many choices can leave you at a loss
Don't need a menu, just order #69
Dumplings in a creamy white sauce
A treat guaranteed to blow your mind

Mai Sing all you can eat fish
Best place you can find in town
What was the question?

Sometimes

Late in the night it happens

I had a feeling sweep over me late tonight so I wrote this down. Then I took it over to Suno to hear it before the sound left my head. I’m not good enough to use the DAW yet.

‘Sometimes’

Sometimes I get lonely
without being blue
Life is usually peaceful
always learning something new

My aching heart is searching
for a lady to love again
To share the joy of living
Of walking hand in hand

It's in these quiet moments
when these feelings arrive
Like something is calling
From somewhere deep inside

The moment is always fleeting
a brief thought shoots on by
My mind continues to linger
On the simple reason of why

I have walled up my heart
From the hurt done in the past
And moved on in my journey
Knowing illusions of love never last

'Sometimes'

I not blue tonight but when this poem came in I knew it had to have the sax on it. Hope you enjoyed it and have a blessed night.

A Deep Dawg Dive: Part Two

Keeping track of the training

UNDERSTAND THIS!

I do not claim to be a musician but rather declare I am a lyricist and want to share what these poems sound like inside my head.

In my first post regarding my AI journey ‘Heavy Fog” An Introduction I talked about a few legal issues with copyright, trademarks etc… The laws regarding AI music is in a very grey area right now with the market being flooded with AI music that is produced quickly and uploaded to the air streams, people uploading multiple songs a week.

The way I understand this is that they are trying to make as much money as possible and as quickly as possible. I see many people bitching about their music being taken down after having 30 songs put out last in the last couple of months or so and I wonder if it is because it is generic or is it because it is not original material. I’ve listened to many tracks and find that there is no feeling in them and no heart in the lyrics.

While looking into the laws regarding this I have found that what I want is going to take a long time to make it right. Hence the DAW system I purchased. Mixcraft 10.6 Studio Pro is an amazing DAW that is pretty straight forward to learn to use and offers me the ability to make my music sound like me, not an quick generated melody. I do still use Suno for the basic foundation of my songs making multiple tracks to get the sound I’m looking for since I have a Pro account paid for the year I thought why not?

I can generate anywhere from ten to ninety versions of one song before landing on the one I want to use, this takes weeks for the most part, no joke.

Prompts are key to getting what you want, just like making AI images for your blog, the better the prompt the better the music. With my DAW this is not the case, there I find a beat that I like and slowly find the right instruments and melody I feel. It takes forever but hopefully the results will be heard and seen as I proceed into this journey.

I will touch on the copyright laws as these post continue with updates from the US copyright site. For now though I will continue to learn the ends and outs of making my poetry come alive with sound while trying to ease up on the worry that my songs will be taken and the words rearranged and put to different sound. I do have the words copyrighted as they are from my collection in my two books.

Also I want to thank the ones who take the time to listen and comment on them, you are greatly appreciated my friends.

Heavy Fog: An Introduction

Is this one or two questions from the daily?

Daily writing prompt What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?✅ View all responses

The morning ritual of waking up takes me over an hour. After waking up and thanking the Lord for another day and asking for guidance I paddle out to the kitchen and get the magical liquid of life dripping into the pot. As that happens I have a cigarette and groggily await my first cup.

I then get into the depressing news of the day which by the way doesn’t change all that much on a daily basis. A normal headline would read something like this, “The world is going to hell, let’s speed up this ride!”.

As for the last 3/4 days it stopped there, the mind blank when it came to ideas to write about or the inability or want to post anything. Usually I find my way to emails, reader and then to all the fun prompts available.

Three Things Challenge https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/04/01/writing-prompts-109/ TTC ✅

Your prompt word this week is BOARD

AJ Wilson, a dear friend and collaborator turned me onto a new drug as “Huey Lewis” would say when she showed me the Suno app. I was instantly hooked on the quite unique way of bringing my poetry to life. I dove into this endeavor without testing the depths and learned I had to either sink or swim in the murky waters of AI enhancement.

Making videos soon became a part of this journey and my imagination went into high gear. Slop soon followed with a couple of videos I no longer have out so I found myself drifting away from them for now. Legal issues soon had me thinking I needed to quit doing videos and find something else to occupy my altered mind.

This in turn became a new journey in itself, nothing like writing the books I did last year. Copyrights are totally different and the use of AI music is sketchy to say the least in the eyes of staying legal. Enter more Dawgy Daddy schooling.

I became obsessed with continuing to put music to my poems and soon found out that if I wanted to continue this I needed to get everything protected. I finally decided to slow down on the construction of the “Dive” as it looks okay to me and concentrate on the legal side of where I want to go.

I’ve learned that to do this right is going to take longer than a couple of generations of a song. I needed to learn how to use a DAW which will change everything I make in Suno. A quiet space needs to be built [sound booth] where I can record my vocals and replace the ones generated by Suno. I then need to get my name, band name and label all trademarked [$$$ ouch!] After finding all of this out I still was not ready to give up and so will move forward into a long journey of getting ready for the release of my first album.

The next move in this journey is to gather all the muses and voices in my altered mind and have a board meeting to decide if I want to move forward, the answer is a unanimous yes.

This is the first post in a series describing my journey into the making of AI music and what it will take to try and do it right.

UNDERSTAND THIS!

I do not claim to be a musician but rather declare I am a lyricist and want to share what these poems sound like inside my head.
