Rest in Peace Dolly Parton. I've had some thoughts bouncing around my head since the news. I hate my brain's desire to turn everything into content so I'm not gonna make a video on this. But there's some stuff I'd like to say as a public music commentator, so here's a thread I guess.
New video is up on Nebula! Coming to YouTube later this week. Big thanks to the Polyphonic Discord for helping me on this one. nebula.tv/videos/polyp...
Polyphonic — I Love This Kind of Album Cover
The joy of Wimmelbilder album covers

you can tell someone's real if they record a song with a Roud number.
Arguably all of them, but for me (and I think the most obvious and basic answer) Born to Run, Darkness, River
Lina Morgan@alinaisyou.bsky.social · last mo.What is Bruce Springsteen's quintessential three album run?
putting a sex scene in oppenheimer but not the odyssey is wild though. can we all agree on that at least
To me, complaining about historical accuracy in a Hollywood blockbuster film is kind of like complaining that a metal album is too loud. It's not really engaging with the media on its own terms. Cinema is a medium of spectacle, especially Hollywood Cinema.
autocorrect strips so much expression from digital language. let me type what i want to type you demon.
I swear to god so many podcasts use the worst, most boring clips possible in their ads. It's like they actively don't want you to listen to their shows.
I hate AI slop as much as the next person, but can we please stop framing everything good about human creativity in relation to AI. I'm so sick of seeing interesting human art and having the top comments be "so refreshing to see human art" or "AI could never do this" or something like that.

a lot of my visual style comes from trying to entertain myself. editing can get boring if you're just plugging stuff in, so i'm always trying to have fun with it
still from an upcoming video. i promise it makes sense in context
absolutely nuts that "Trent Reznor" isn't a stage name
music nerds: @nebula.tv is very much worth it to watch @polyphonic.nebula.tv's drug series nebula.tv/videos/polyp...
Polyphonic — A Cultural History of LSD
When LSD first hit music scenes in the mid-60s, it kicked off a cultural revolution whose echoes still reverberate to this day.

In this week's video, I had the privilege of talking with Robert Margouleff, a musical legend who helped to create one of the most important synthesizers in music history. youtu.be/PfKHEJ-_TvA

I remember being incredibly shocked when I first learned that "Proud Mary" was a Tina Turner cover of a CCR song, not vice-versa.
Todd in the Shadows@shadowtodd.bsky.social · 3mo agoCover songs that are so perfectly suited to the band that it's nearly impossible to believe that they weren't the original artist "Goodbye Earl" - The Chicks "Stone Cold Crazy" - Metallica "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" - They Might Be Giants Add your own!
The second episode of my new series, Drugs, is up on Nebula! Come learn about the acid revolution, and how LSD's musical impacts still reverberate to this day. nebula.tv/videos/polyp...

What's your favourite "pretty good" album? Something that's not amazing or world-changing, but probably has a few solid tracks and is good to throw to relax after work.
Video essayists, I know that smooth segues make ad reads more effective, but I promise it's ok to let your video have a conclusion.
Happy 420 everyone. You should celebrate by checking out the first episode of my new series, DRUGS, on Nebula. This series is a cultural history of drugs and music, told one drug at a time. As you might expect, the first episode is about that sweet sticky icky. nebula.tv/videos/polyp...

"Could you imagine if the guys who made OK Computer were still around to see what's become of technology?" "They're still around." "So sad. Guess we'll just never know."

New video is up on YouTube now! I've wanted to do a video talking about Fela for a long time now, and I've always admired the work of Jad Abumrad. To be able to combine both those in one video was incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7oJ...
