Yeah. I think cable TV, then social media, and now AI have sort of been an escalatingly stultifying progression, and the politics of the era reflect that. Governance by meme in a post-factual era.

@Heritage_Guy Adam Jones indicated they’ve been talking to MSG Sphere for a long time so I have to think a residency will happen. It’s a perfect money grab on top of everything else.

KGLW Fest, Panic at Red Rocks, Phish at Dicks, JRAD at Dillon Amphitheater are on my summer hippie music calendar. We are doing the Strings in Sol jamgrass festival in MX this winter too. Not mad about any of it.

+1 to Dennis @Daniel-San ; I get irritated when they’re all in the wash. Every single sock day I reach for these.

@endo the fact that people in church thought it was a bad influence when I was young supports this truth. I remember there was also a pamphlet decrying the Dead Kennedys because they wanted to “Kill the Poor.”
whoosh

@endo I showed that one to my 5yo daughter. I’d forgotten the cursing (which I only care about because I don’t want my kid to “corrupt” other, more puritanical parents’ spawn) but, as expected, she loved it.

@dugafola everyone in our group wants to just rent an Airbnb and move there for the whole thing next time

We also rented some cabanas at the pool at our hotel (Palazzo) one day. Magical weekend.

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):
@Aetas was hoping you would see the connection there
My LP came with 2 copies of the 45rpm of those remixes somehow
Sent the extra to @mclaincausey with another package I was mailing to him
Which reminds me. I owe you your book back! So sorry. I still haven’t read. Life…

I would as well for an NA run!

RE: Live Concertsposted in General Chat
@Heritage_Guy yeah I was very impressed with the whole thing. I’m not normally one to sit at that kind of show but it is definitely awesome to do so. Would have loved to experience some Phil bombs there but Mike had an amazing weekend himself!

Caught my first MSG Sphere shows a couple of weekends ago in Vegas. Wild experience.
Threw in a Wizard of Oz viewing on top of three Phish shows. The verisimilitude of the tornado was… inspiring? Can feel wind, the seat haptics, screen, sound, and flashes of lightning from strobes behind the screen… chilling.
The exterior and interior visuals get all the attention, but the sound was truly remarkable as well.
One of the cooler things they did for the screen was integrated the lighting director’s lighting rig software and had a virtual version of his rig that he could control in real time.

RE: Artificial Intelligenceposted in General Chat
We are heading towards a dark dystopian future and the people charged with the enabling technology don’t have the moral or intellectual chops, much less the intent, to manage the technology for the betterment of all.
