yeah I feel like I've read an account of this–maybe Blackwell's memoir? – on how the dub overshadowed the original

The Art of Haunting The email was innocuous enough. A woman wrote to me explaining how her partner had been talking about my work and how much he’d enjoyed it—in particular, he’d remembered me giving a TEDx talk about gh...

"The ghost story, in other words, will always, on some level, fail to capture the haunting, just as the algorithm will always fail to capture the life—both are anathema to the very existence of the unpredictable and the messy. "

for yrs I never spent more than $30 on a record...& that was an exception! because of the trade in I now I have a few ~$100 (at time of purchase) pieces

but now I've got the jones (also I write about music, so having the OG object w/ accurate info/context is priceless, the web is full of misinfo)

makes sense but wait i have more reasons!

truly I let a bunch of stuff go and in the process found the most efficient thing was to trade a box to a record store for 50/50 (or 60/40) cash/credit...effectively trading a stack of records I didn't love for 1 or 2 I did but wd never have spent $ on

I can slowly feel myself become a collector, but without the financial backative 😭

My collection is mainly a working DJs collection from the 90s/2000s (some of which is now quite collectible) but when I got to the pt of deciding what to keep + what to downsize, completism reared its ugly hed

It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice.

At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid..."

this actually makes me wonder, if we had recordings of whale songs from the 1640s would modern whales be able to parse them...would there be 'drift' in the signals over generations?

not very open source, they don't want us know what the whales are saying

Happy 61st birthday to Cutty Ranks.

Here's a long-time favourite where Cutty adds his stuttering chorus onto Beres Hammond's Tempted To Touch on Steely & Clevie's updated version of John Holt's A Love I Can Feel rhythm...
