Here’s an idea: pop artists should not release vinyl versions of the Album. Vinyl schedules are apparently too slow for the highly volatile & reactive nature of today’s pop song releases. Pop artists should use albums for their intended purpose pre-Sgt. Pepper: Unique greatest hits collections.

The way the history of pop was warped by boomer criticism/historiography into a hard dividing line between a supposed glop past and Elvis-and-everything-after with a rock focus was a massive reductive mistake that is still playing out.

I've been checking out Monterrey, México's REBOLLEDO who is making the type of weird psychedelic house music I love, and I'm so happy he's getting world recognition - but it took a minute and I remember this is the same REBOLLEDO that put out this prime Indie Sleaze debut single "GUERRERO" in 2009!

I always appreciate the result, but digitally repairing vinyl pops & clicks from a vinyl rip is like removing ticks one by one from an infested animal... ...except you can at least listen to music while removing ticks. You can't do that (well anyway) repairing an audio file for obvious reasons.

This is less about being anti data analysis and more about the way that the flippant attitudes of the people who deliver their analyses can be broadly alienating to people with qualitative experiences that don't match their findings. Their desire is to scold and feel superior, not to educate.
Lmao I can't believe this caused a controversy amongst Libsky. That's what I get for having any sort of opinion.

I will also add that, even pre-Internet, there were literally millions of books/magazines about subjects likely more fun than your school assignments. I loved music, card games & video games as a kid. And guess what, I enjoyed reading about that. I didn’t run away crying.
Sara Century@saracentury.bsky.social · 3w agoI understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.
