"The gamification of our listening, as neatly embodied by Wrapped and Replay, is just one of the platform effects in our streaming era. How much does it actually have to do with hearing — by which I mean, our actual engagement with music?" Ways of Hearing:

This is my #1 AOTY

RIP HBO

Are we fucked?

I'm pretty sure this is actually Taika Waititi pretending to be an insane Silicon Valley dipshit. It's a powerful combination of ignorance and arrogance that would probablt be funny if this man weren't insanely rich and influential.

My top listened artists for the year... Stereolab AOTY for me hands down

I've watched this video twice now, just for pleasure

Met an indigenous bear hunter last summer who was advocating for the reopening of the bear hunt as they are seeing more bears coming into the communities... A complex issue, no doubt 🧐

Saw this one at the rare book library in Toronto

This is amazing. Every old show should get this aspect ratio treatment so we can see what lies beyond the intended frame!

Doobie Bros. release the “Minute By Minute” LP 47 yrs ago today. “We were known for this big, muscular sound,” said McDonald, “and suddenly we were making these more intimate, keyboard-driven tracks. ..

Fuck. It's beautiful.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

No wonder I have no interest in psychedelics anymore.

Last day at the beach before going back north...

Absolutely fuck this, man This is what happens when you treat every piece of art you license like just another line of a spreadsheet This is what happens when you reduce work that real people put so much love into down to fucking content slop that you shovel out for as cheaply as you can

Hey y’all, can Suno perform a neurosurgical procedure that severs all the connections in my brain's prefrontal cortex?

Michelin recommended Al Pastor tacos in Playa Del Carmen... The best. #elfogon

Yeah great cool thanks

Life update: still in Mexico

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Elon's "Rosebud" is posting. His deepest desire is for everyone to tell him what a hilarious and clever poster he is. The problem is that he isn't funny. And it kills him. It explains why he bought Twitter. It's why Grok is the way it is. And it explains . . . whatever the holy hell this is.

Tulum is in rough shape these days. Seems like the gold rush is over and only the strong survived. Tourism is down across the board and many spots along the beach road are abandoned or for rent ...

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.
