He’s a comedian - sure. But the best comedians like Jonathan Pie live in truth.
There are a lot of posts talking about copyright of art - because ‘generative art’.
This is all about music copyright. It’s 30 minutes long, so get comfy.
If music copyright is this broken, then what chance to fix the art issue that is hurtling down the pike towards us.
“Coding is to programming as typing is to writing.”
Official video of 🎶🎵 Riverside - I’m Done With You - early single release from their upcoming new album ID.Entity.
If you are into that ‘post modern’ ‘neo’ ‘progressive’ ‘European’ Rock genre - WELL worth a listen
A short little video from Peter Vidani to remind you of how this online world used to be.
No, I hadn’t heard of him either, but turns out he was Tumblr’s first designer - and now he is at Arc.
🎶🎵Over breakfast this morning, I commented to Jax
Another cup of tea?
She replied
“You like coffee - I like tea”
This was in her messages before it had finished brewing.
Stuff I keep in my brain!
You know who I feel sorry for?
Nerine Skinner.
Her fledgling career… gone. At a stroke. Without so much as a by your leave
If you don’t like 🎶🎵 Yes … Don’t bother.
If you like Yes… But hate Topographic Oceans … Don’t bother.
You have been warned … a 30 minute video laying out the plan for ‘Starting The Steal’ in the U.S.A.
Meanwhile, spotted in my local ‘minimart’ today … elections coming up in Auckland, New Zealand.
Imagine this happening in the United States.
I know … you can’t can you?
🎶🎼🎵 New (to me) from New Zealand … Tablefox
🎶🎼🎵 Love me some Tears For Fears … just a few favourites from a recent session … songs ‘old’ and ‘new’. Enjoy!
56 Seconds for all you ‘Portlandians’ (specifically), but really anyone … I just love his YouTube channel. Has anyone been?
Slavoj Žižek Is A Complicated Dude
Earlier this week a friend introduced me to Slavoj Žižek - and specifically, he referenced The Perverts Guide To Cinema. I started watching and suddenly realized that it was over 2 1/2 hours long. I saved to ‘watch later’! Seriously - watch the first 5 to 10 minutes - you can’t just stop and never return … BUT … life does have a limited duration!
I commented on this to my friend … he responded …
I had no idea it was that long! There is not enough alcohol in New Zealand to get you (let alone two of you) through 2.5 hours. This six-minute piece is more than enough to convey Zizek’s characteristic mannerisms (mental and physical). And he neatly endorses the critique of “the fetishism of action” by reversing Marx’s 11th thesis on Feuerbach: “In the 20th-century we tried to change the world too quickly, it’s time to go back to interpreting it.” Big Think
I haven’t watched it yet … still trying to understand my friend’s reply 😂
Running … Up That Hill
I recently had a good email exchange with Nick Milo (LYT) after a newsletter he wrote that depended a lot on Running Up That Hill.
As a private exchange, I am not going to reveal the conversation, but rather make the observation that Kate Bush’s Running Up The Hill not only gained renewed momentum in the UK/US Music charts …. It also seems to have pushed Kate back into the limelight.
Kate will turn 64 years old later this month … it is never too late.
Beyond that, clearly, something else is going on. Detailed below are just three of many more links that I have read recently. Articles by writers I read regularly that each in their own way have latched on to the phenomena.
-
William Gallagher - always a good read gave us; Seeking out strange new worlds, and liking them..
-
Rick Beato - with a 10 a minute breakdown of the original song.
-
The Brisbane choir - always worth a watch have their take on the song.
Trust, Autonomy, Identity, Privacy and Agency.
It’s 30 seconds long and nails it.
🎶 It’s a cover of Alan Parson’s Eye In The Sky.
… a very good cover - and with just two people performing.
You will only be disappointed if you don’t like the original to begin with.
