Cool beans. I was misremembering this as a Dylan song, recalling the Byrds version.

Modern TV is not like old fashioned TV. I think the whole concept of “bingable” multi-episode series shows is ridiculous.

for me, as much as i dislike tv, in general, there is one and only one kind of music the majority of which would be worse to hear than a tv.

Could you do an entire show or at least a set of "You Don't Miss Your Water"?

melinda:

Jake I think people binge in part because of the new formats that encourage it. Some of the shows are actually good, too.

JakeGould:

I know people “poo poo” it but I really like the fact I can watch movies and TV shows on my phone. And yes, it’s not like watching a movie in a theater, but honestly most modern movies are not the kind that demand a full theater. Like documentaries? I have no reason to sit in a dark theater and watch a documentary that way.

@coel: that's funny about the pronunciation

@β: good mnemonic; probably could use a œ, right?

βrian, someone will take issue with me, but i'm fairly used that so!
...no - rap music of the posturing, aggressive, winey but somehow supposedly badass variety. (i'm clearly not sure how to appropriately describe it or categorise it) ...but the kind of rap that i sometimes endure at my favorite pub, that if it goes on for a while changes the atmosphere to a macho, bravado filled, tense bullshitfest.
i'd rather hear a tv than that, if i average out a variety of tv programming.

On this show I identified "Eastern Rain" as a Gordon Lightfoot song. Whoops! It's Joni Mitchell, of course. I guess I was thinking of "Early Morning Rain."
