new experiment what happens when a venture capital firm creates an AI agent to listen to all the music we are playing, and then analyzes that for "vibes" and then publishes those vibes we are going to find out what happens https://microfiche.usv.com/capturing-the-vibes

unexpected (yet obvious) effect of streaming services as artists have moved away from the monolithic idea of an "album" they have more of a palette to experiment, to release tracks more often, to collaborate, to play around and we get to listen to them grow, evolve, have fun and more john glacier is one of those have a feeling 2025 will be her year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK9d1o8eFb4

What are some things that stick with you forever? Madison Square Garden, New York City, 1978, my first ever concert Cheap Trick Danny Bernstein's father took Danny and I, 7th graders both; it wasn't cool yet we got in the door and thus, got to dance with Kristin and the other girls from school that didn't need chaperones We all screamed our lungs out at the lyric "Rolling numbers, rock and rollin' got my KISS records out" as we were members of the KISS Army back then As we put our arms around each and shouted along: "Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbkypX1OhZ0

thought: venture capital is giving millions of dollars to relative strangers, for products that haven't really been built, in markets that barely yet exist it is the worst system of funding innovation, except all the others that have been tried

weekend rec: Rick Beato is among my favorite youtubers his knowledge of music and his preparation going into interviews is elite and every now and then he will do a video essay he comes opinionated, with facts, and is also good natured this one is about musical creativity (and the brain) the thesis: creativity begins to fade at the age of 30 which makes me way over the hill, but i can still, and did, enjoy the essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxR6Zi1euvc

revisiting your past, why not is there music where you know every note, rhythm, inflection, drone velvets are one of those to the point where it can be too familiar, so you take a break, sometimes for years then you revisit, and you remember, as Lou Reed said: "Repetition—it’s so fantastic" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZudHYTya-dQ
