SONG OF THE WEEK:
Mastodon “Your Ghost Again”
“In recent years, there’s been a lot of talk in the music industry about how to combat the bots that routinely buy up concert tickets on behalf of scalpers. One prominent rock band’s solution involves ticket buyers having their eyeballs scanned to prove they’re human. Thirty Seconds To Mars, the hard rock combo led by actor Jared Leto (who was accused of sexual misconduct by nine women last year), is deploying an online ticketing tool called Concert Kit for their 2027 tour of Europe and the UK. According to the San Francisco Standard, the system involves each customer creating a verified World ID, an encrypted digital passport created by an orb that scans your irises and face. It uses “proof of human” technology developed by Tools For Humanity, a company founded by OpenAI’s Sam Altman. To get a World ID, you have to visit an official World store or a partner retailer and have your eyes scanned.” (Stereogum)
