As far as year end roundups go, I usually look at The Quietus and will have to go through this soonish...

People over 40, who like post-punk, 60s/70s reggae and the history of electronic music....that is my demographic, also.

I don't have any recollection of what this was...and it was just a few days ago.

"Happy" was the biggest song in the world a couple years ago, selling nearly 14 million single units. It was streamed on Pandora 43 million times, which earned Pharrell (the sole writer) $2,700 in royalties.

Streaming services were recently ordered to increase their payouts by 20%, but they're still insultingly low.

Not the song, the actual cover.

Yes, it is.

Weird, eh?

[Gaucho]

Kool. Know him personally?

Nope

[Gaucho]

Dumb question maybe.

And sorry for your loss.

[columbia]

I've had a lot if band mates, but he's the first to have died. Weird stuff and hard to process.

Got tickets to see Mumford & Sons in May. I'm sure they have their haters on here, but we're super excited. We'll be in the first five rows. Should be nuts.

*edit*
Turns out "First five rows" on Live Nation means General Admission pit passes. I definitely would've went for pavilion seats had I known that. I feel like I'm too old for the pit.

We saw this movie over the weekend, I would definitely recommend. Mike Mills' movies are going to be must see's going forward. He also did Beginners, which you can watch on Netflix. But this blurb from the Pfork article sums up the strength of some of the film's commentary.

In an attempt to understand this world, Dorothea attends a local punk show without her son and also attempts bedroom dancing to Black Flag’s Nervous Breakdown. She’s not a fan (though apparently, in real life, Bening herself is). Early in the film, Dorothea has a similar reaction to UK art-punks the Raincoats’ raw debut single, “Fairytale in the Supermarket.” “Can’t things just be pretty?” she asks, to which her son replies, “Pretty music’s used to hide how unfair and corrupt society is.” It’s Abbie, though, who offers a most inspired monologue about the Raincoats, musing rapturously about “what happens when your passion is bigger than the tools you have to deal with it.” I nearly fell out of my theater chair. Mainstream culture rarely grapples with punk, let alone feminist outsider art, with as much nuance as Mills does in 20th Century Women.

I need to see that.

I need to see that.

In honor of Mozart's 261st Birthday my favorite composition of his...the 3rd Movement of his 22nd Piano Concerto.

Not a fan. Too much rococo saccharine.
