I missed the end of Bryce's show to go to a concert, but most of it (especially the first piece) would have fit in Bryce's show, so it was a seamless transition
  3:35am
LiXiviated Life:

Why is it that
I need seem to always need
To turn on subtitles
to understand the English speaking

when it’s the only language I know?
I mean, it’s their language
you’d think they could learn to speak it clearly.

Plenty Fred. Confusing to me as well. Seems to directly contradict the election result.

It also saddles them with the same, very flawed constitution. You have to wonder if there were "outside influences" on the vote.

I know a guy who's been supposedly working on a thesis about Godard for like close to 30 years. His excuse was that there was always more that changed the perspective. He has no excuse now

One of the pieces on that contemporary music show that made me miss part of Bryce's show was an audience performance of a U2 song on kazoo (helpfully provided). That was fun, stupid but not stupid
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:08am
Ike:

I'm much more of a cat person, but somebody at Hell Gate came up with the ridiculous headline "Dogs Don’t Belong in New York City" and I was reminded of how much social media pushes journalism to depend on cheap outrage to drive clicks. Nice try, Hell Gate, but I am *not* clicking on that.
Avatar 4:10am
Brian D:

Fred, sometimes stupid is fun. And Ike, I'm glad I didn't see that Hell Gate headline. I'd have cancelled my sub.
Avatar 4:11am
Brian D:

@Tom Tom, if you're still here, the France24 host DID say "new age." Ugh. Live broadcasting is tough, as I prove weekly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13am
Ike:

Such storied local journalists as Ross Barkan seem to depend on this tactic as well. Lately I see a number of silly hot takes from him. I wonder if Mark has covered this on Techtonic, because I believe social media helps drive this inclination. Hot takes abound on Twitter and Facebook and people engage more often with things that outrage them. Yikes.

I wish I had met the composer before (I'll try to before he leaves), because he referred to Negativland and copyright (I was wearing a Techtonic T-shirt). I usually meet young composers, but COVID got in the way

Avatar 4:25am
Brian D:

To be clear @Ike, I'm not defending the practice. But I know that media outlets and those who work for them have to scramble for the all the attention -- and money -- they can get. And, in today's environment, attention IS money. I hate that about the industry but that's where we are.

A small toyshop owner in Dingle, Ireland - gentle nice guy - was ranting yesterday about the ESB (Electric co) making 357 million Euro profit in the last 6 months [compared to roughly 100 last yaer in the same period] raising prices with the "cost of fuel/shortage" scare ... Money for Board Members while the working poor are losing their homes...

Hello Morphe. Yes, what people don't seem to see is that "government assistance with energy bills," at least as currently constituted, is subsidies for hugely profitable energy corporations.
