If they were going from DC to Mexico, why would they be in Tallahassee? I don't know that much about the road system in the South, but I imagine if it's to avoid the Appalachians, they could just pass through Atlanta and head west. -

John Fediverse (mrsaturday@shitposter.world)'s status on Tuesday, 02-Jul-2024 05:39:42 JST John Fediverse @why @sun That's fair. I figured piano was a good starting point because it's very much a WYSIWYG instrument as far as what you do and what the notes say to do on paper, and how you learn how to read music as you learn how to play it. I can see how it'd have its disadvantages over what you have to learn with other instruments, though. -

The MST3K movies where he goes around solving mysteries in a wrestler mask and no shirt are fucking bizarre -

In a "stakeholder" culture, it's harder to find out where the buck stops. -

John Fediverse (mrsaturday@shitposter.world)'s status on Friday, 28-Jun-2024 10:44:51 JST John Fediverse @sun @vriska I think I ran across the same video and I liked a couple other videos the guy did in the past, but the "get off my lawn" bit was so fucking awful. "Streaming cheapens music" is wrong, it just keeps it from being as homogeneous as it was in the radio days. It's the same as cable, Youtube, and Netflix and their impact on TV viewing habits. 70% of the nation isn't tuning in to watch MASH's finale anymore because there are just too many channels and too many options and people aren't being funneled into 3 sets of shows. I can see how this would make labels much more risk-averse, since if an act is successful, the ceiling is far lower than it would be in the radio or MTV days, so rather than leave things to chance by investing heavily in art that might not even be received well, it's better to go with a safer bet. The fact that he pulled out a Led Zeppelin record to complain says it all, really. The sort of thing he complained about isn't because music is cheaper or the kids aren't respecting music, it's because there's no Led Zeppelin because now the youth are exposed to a cornucopia of options and allowed to pursue them down rabbit holes that record store owners could only dream of in the past. It's a series of niches that people can dabble in to their hearts' content, and I think that actually enriches what music is rather than cheapens it.
Also him constantly bringing up Zeppelin as "music done right" while complaining about how AI plagiarizes is fucking rich.
His discussion of technology taking away the human element from music also isn't anything new. I've heard the same complaint many, many times in regards to the difference between digital art and traditional media. You get a much cleaner result, but the cleanliness quickly turns into sanitizing and it loses something intangible along the way.
It had decent insights as long as he stayed in his lane (the music industry), but once he veered out of it into old man yells at Soundcloud territory, he needed to scrap that part. -
