It's complex because they're asking to use something that isn't theirs, on an international scale, in many possible iterations. Tech has compounded this, but so have the assumptions of consumers for whom music no longer has monetary value.

I feel lingering guilt over having photoshopped a Winger t-shirt onto an old friend post-mortem. Too soon. Buuuuut still accurate in spirit.

I've only fan-remastered two albums for personal enjoyment: 5150 and OU812, desperate to extract some bass. Looks like this is enhanced video rather than 16mm film, but still, Live Without a Net was my guitar instruction video in the formative years, so any preservation is welcome.

"But I didn't do that thing he said in the joke!" That's part of what makes it a joke, not journalism. In other news, a man from Nantucket was revealed to be of average endowment but superior flexibility.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

TV brain rot: The real reason television shows are getting stupider
It’s crazy for streamers to prioritise ‘second-screen viewing’, writes Louis Chilton – but that’s not the only way TV seems to have lost faith in its audience

Compounding real problems in the first world, I dreamed I was about to get the (snakeskin) boot from the band Poison in 1986 for telling the singer his lazy melodies were gonna make our sheet music look like morse code. Woke by a joke.

Dreamed I was back in church, but when we got to the handshakes, greeted each other with "The power of Christ compels you." 🤷♂️ Good exorcise, though. "And also with you."

My favorite part of Stranger Things was the 22nd time they explained what the hell is going on. It reminded me of that other streaming series that doesn't require attention.

Overheard someone bragging about a billionaire fellow parishioner, and wanted to remind him there are no billionaires in heaven. I first thought he said "prisoner," which made way more sense, but thought Why would they name a prison St. Michael's?

Definitely not. And I once bought a refurbished eight-track deck just in the hopes that it could play one tape that might contain the only recording of her voice. Thrilled that it did, I digitized it and listen … every few years. An untimely loss, coupled with lots of media, might be more tempting.

I make videos professionally, but this channel is NOT that, just fun personal stuff. I'm also a musician and published author, so expect some clips about those pursuits as well.

I hear Spotify is raising prices. If its artists were fairly compensated, such a service should be prohibitively expensive to the average consumer.
