  I heard it differently:

  “I’m a bit bloody but you can burst me shitter, if ya loike.”

  CounterSpin from the media watch group FAIR is always a good place to pick up on bias in the MSM. Janine is great.

  Of course, FAIR may have their own bias which, as far as i can tell, is “the good of the people”.

  I might direct you to Joseph Lanza’s book, Elevator Music from University of Michigan Press (2004)

  +1 for Qobuz. Seems like an ethical company. They pay artists 4x Spotify rates too.

  They met in 1969. I don’t think rushing for time was the problem here.

  This is terrible writing, but you can still become a writer with practice. It appears as if you haven’t read any books, though. Do you have a favourite writer? Or genre? Or period? Just reading internet comments isn’t really enough. I’m also astonished at the many basic errors in these few short paragraphs. Back to school with you and study! Good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly Lossless Music⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I realise this is a tongue-in-cheek title but for anyone unaware, sheet music is a very clinical and skeletal approximation of music. Like the difference between reading I Have a Dream and actually hearing MLK deliver the speech. It’s why you can have 1,000 different recordings of a Mozart piano concerto – and why they’re all superior to a PC playing a MIDI file (most accurate representation of sheet music).

  Having said that, and despite sheet music being about as far from ‘lossless’ as a stickman drawing, musicians are particularly good at ‘visualising’ music. So much so, that a brain scan can’t distinguish between a musician actually listening to music and a musician merely replaying music in their head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I missed something but nowhere in this discussion do you mention whether you want to sleep with him? Even when people sort of prompted you.

  If you fancy him, take it to the next level. I imagine he’s keeping it light for plausible deniability in case nothing happens or he gets rejected.

  Either make a move or tell him you’re not interested in a relationship. Figure out your own intentions instead of trying to mindread him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue talent isn’t even in the top ten list of important qualities for “success” in the music world.
