🔗 Confessions of a Spotify Vandal
So I typed in “Car Jams” on Apple Music, and that song came up before any algorithm-driven driving playlist or anything like that. At that point, I was like, Shit, I need to drop an album of songs with titles that someone might hypothetically try to look up.
Musicians resort to trolling as a way of surviving the algorithm.
Got a couple of invites for Record Club. If anyone is interested in joining this small music discovery community let me know.
I think it will become the definitive “Letterboxd for albums” if they add user’s RSS feeds before RYM/Sonemic offers an API (it’s only been 9+ years of waiting!)
🔗 Captain Beefheart's 10 Commandments of Guitar Playing
- Listen to the birds.
- Your guitar is not really a guitar. Your guitar is a divining rod.
- Practice in front of a bush.
- Walk with the devil.
- If you’re guilty of thinking, you’re out.
- Never point your guitar at anyone.
- Always carry a church key.
- Don’t wipe the sweat off your instrument.
- Keep your guitar in a dark place.
- You gotta have a hood for your engine.
I mean, how can one not listen to The Captain?
🍿 Watched Falling Down, 1993 - ★★★½
Another one that just couldn't be made today. So much wrong with it, but with more than a few flashes of brilliance and a incredible Douglas performance.
It seemed everyone I know watched this. Decided to watch thinking it was about a normal guy going psycho, it's more psycho goes nuclear. Had I known that I wouldn't have watched and would've deprived myself of quite a ride.
