PS: I’ve always wanted to be a musician or singer — but unfortunately I’ve not got a lick of talent.

I’m tone deaf, can’t sing in key, failed at learning any instrument, and can’t even remember the lyrics to songs I’ve loved since a teenager. I was even kicked out of an anarchic, drunken punk band for being talentless.

But these days you don’t need any talent to make music: AI will do it for you.

Just listen to the amazing sample tracks that were created from text prompts on this page (scroll to the middle of the page). The results sound amazing to me.

It means even if you’re not a musician, you could dash off a song, about, say Donald Trump getting convicted. Pro or anti! The song could either be "Justice Is Served" or "TOTAL RIGGED WITCH HUNT!!!" I'm thinking heavy metal either way. Get a lifetime to Supermusic’s AI music-generating magic for just $49.99.

Silicone Magnetic Apple Watch Band

The SwitchEasy Skin Silicone Magnetic Apple Watch Band is a jack-of-all-trades sort of a strap. It won’t look out of place for most occasions — like a hike or a day at the office — short of something super-formal. And its durability will probably make it last longer than your Apple Watch.

Made of lightweight, durable silicone, the band feels good on the skin. At the same time, it’s stylish as well as waterproof and sweatproof. So you can wear it in the shower without a thought and you can forget the days of your sweaty wrist making other straps nasty.

Plus, the band’s strong magnetic closure keeps it secure on your wrist while also making it super-easy to put on or take off.

Skin band features:

• Strong magnetic closure ensures a stable fit.

• Quality silicone material is durable and soft on the skin.

• The lightweight band is waterproof and sweat-resistant.

• Designed exclusively for Apple Watch.

• Comes in pink, starlight, pine green and black colors.

• Fits all Apple Watch series: Sizes are 38mm/40mm/41mm and 42mm/44mm/45mm/49mm.

Magnetic straps are among the best bands you can get for your Apple Watch. There’s no fiddly clasp to deal with. They’re easy to get on and off, and are easy to adjust.

SwitchEasy’s silicone magnetic Apple Watch band is inexpensive, long-lasting, and looks great. Your wrist will love it.

“Great band,” said customer Martha Siberti in a review on the Cult of Mac Store. “I have two of these bands, pink and black. I got the black one to use when I am working in the yard and the pink one at other times. The magnets in each side hold nice and tight and stay snug on my wrist. My watch is stainless steel gold and the bands look very nice with my watch. I’m very pleased with both of them.”
