- Comment on Truly Lossless Music 1 week 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? 3 weeks 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.

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