A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

why do I like the songs from the new angel olsen album more when played on the radio than played on my turntable?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Thu. 9/22/16 10:48am Lewis:

@sphere - not *that* risky but ever since Steve went on the the great beyond, early releases have had a bit of excitement around them... (oh and can I just take this opportunity to express my deeply and heartfelt opinion that iTunes now really sucks and it is time for a replacement. If I didn't have to work for a living I would take that on...)

Wonderful 2nd set.
  Thu. 9/22/16 10:51am Brendan:

@Guido i feel that way about songs too. I think its the sense of community , music meant to be shared and i think why radio terrestrial or streamed will always exist
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Thu. 9/22/16 10:52am sphere:

@Lewis - yeah, i've been updating Apple OSes since forever and not a single one has blown up on me yet. new iTunes is ok but it sorely needs a real redesign.

This isn't limited to the USA. In the Philippines, they elected a member of the elite who claims to be a law-and-order anti-elitist (sound familiar?) who whips up fear about drug pushers & users (though the actual rate of drug use is about the same as anywhere else) and now they have police death squads executing alleged dealers in the street (i.e. whoever the police feel like summarily executing). And that guy keeps getting good poll numbers! Sad.

musique concrete is cited as the beginning but i say "jazz"! done live and on records, players picked pieces and looped and integrated those bits into unrelated songs so effortlessly you didn't know it was happening unless you knew the riff

Yes, but Bach and Handel were doing *that*, too.

yeh, hence thinking about Perrey & Kingsley, since they spun a mad pop tune. If it's sampling in general, that probably goes back to dinosaur DJs. Which did exist, of course.
