Anyone who ever worked retail will love the angry IKEA guy

New songs by Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse, written by computer

This is interesting. A new project called Lost Tapes of the 27 Club is trying to bring attention to the mental health challenges that musicians face by creating new songs by members of the so-called 27 Club - famous musicians who died at the age of 27, typically by either drug overdose or suicide. They selected four of the most famous members of the 27 Club - Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse - and fed 20-30 of each artist’s compositions into a computer, which generated a new song from it, both music and lyrics. Most of the music is also computer generated, although they got other artists to do the vocals.
