   Doctor Who was never my thing. Have never watched a single episode, and didn't   
   know the themesong.  So I checked it out.   
      
   Pretty damned good!  And using analog equipment.   
      
   The techbros trying to replace content with AI-shit they "control"   
   don't understand listeners want a performer they can admire, a painter   
   that impresses.  The human behind the product is essential.   
   AI-generated anything is worthless: images, video, music.  Garbage.   
      
   The creativity and talent behind this theme is really great.
