Oh I absolutely agree, and I think Inside Out is an excellent(and needed) vehicle for injecting better understanding of emotion into public consciousness.

The idea that memories (in the NT mind) are not like video clips would really disrupt collective (western) thought about memory, even though it would bring understanding closer to the way that memory actually functions in our society. The concept of memories being immutable gave rise to the nationalism that formed the…

His 4th point, while technically correct, is not really true because almost everything on the radio has vanity writing credits. Rihanna doesn’t write her own songs, but you can definitely bet she is getting paid(a lot) from radio.

Aside from exhorbitant executive salaries, a good chunk of that money goes into marketing. There is plenty of excellent music being made today, and it is pretty much all readily available(which is a good thing for a music listener), BUT we have now run into the problem of there being too much noise. Music consumers…

That’s just not true. What would the beatles be without Phil Spector. The beastie boys would not have been the beastie boys without Rick Rubin. The biggest players hit in this new home recording marketplace are the producers and engineers. Unless they have songwriting credits, they don’t make anything from live shows,…

Lol that you think art isn't an industry.

But can it menacingly rap each finger upon her desk?

A certain degree of formalism ties the past to present, but what you seek will not happen. Clients who want anything in a “style” generally want post-modern pastiche, and any sort of technology focused design will inherently be dissimilar because all of those “styles” you listed were products of (and remembered for)…

Harvard:

Blame the rise of electric stove tops. Gas with cast iron pan? Perfectly toasted and still moist in less than 20 seconds—both sides—but with an electric eye? that turns into 3-4 minutes, maybe.

I think the thing he misses is that there just isn’t a large market for “hard” sci-fi. The average moviegoers don’t care about and probably can’t grasp lofty concepts and commentary. Major studios are generally going to cater to the LCD because they are in the business of making money from their investments, not…

This reminds me of a scene from Takashi Murakami’s Jellyfish Eyes

Death: “0 fucks given”

Dude’s a jackass, the proper name for a mechanic today is automotive technician

Nah, there were a lot less people in the world.

Taco was not added because it has already been added to the almost finalized Unicode 8.0! It has the code U+1F32E it’s only a matter of time before companies start releasing their new glyphs to go with them.

I don’t disagree that labels can get bloated, but I think you are thinking only at the mainstream level. In the indie electronic music scene, the label is just as important as the artist. Note that I said viable, and not lucrative. I mean being able to make a living wage, not necessarily becoming an international star.

While I agree that record labels are the problem, doing away with them is not the answer. Record labels exist to make being a musician a viable career choice. I don’t care how much one can do on their own these days, the label system allows the artist to focus on the core of what they are doing—making music. Anything…

I wonder if there is a fetish involving plotting vital stats
