idk anything abt afrojack but i find it almost impossible to believe that anyone working with music software even as a clueless amateur doesn't know what 'bars' are. that's how the visual mapping of everything is delimited. calling them 'measures' is more classical/euro, maybe?

oh whoops you linked to the dr luke thing then i started talking abt the vegas/ afrojack thing.

yeah seabrook has apparently made a specialty out of writing about the machinery of pop music, amusingly he apparently is a) a huge eagles fan b) doesnt really like pop music

LOL now this lady on the other hand really does not like these douchebags:
"The seagull population in San Francisco has risen, from twenty-four birds in 1980 to more than fifty-three thousand in 2013. The gulls threaten endangered native species, interfere with landings and takeoffs at local airports, and even upset Giants fans by eating their snacks and defecating on them during games. They are opportunistic scavengers who adapt easily and can unhinge their jaws to consume what looks like more than their fair share; they may have started out as a small group of not-so-charming birds, but now they’re running the show."

Gottwald's cell phone rang."Hey, man," he said. It was Katy Perry's manager, Bradford Cobb. "What's up? Talk to me."

Is Jill Lepore's thing on Doctor Who worth resuming my subscription for?
― Matt Groening's Cousin (Leee), Monday, 4 November 2013 21:47 (ten years ago) link
main weird ultra new yorkish new yorker thing in the homelessness piece is the author offering up itineraries of his every subway transfer as evidence of his dogged journalistic skills. it's like janet malcolm including her expenses receipts, just really strange.
― schlump, Monday, 4 November 2013 22:45 (ten years ago) link
the doctor who thing is pretty good, but the thing about the anti-semitic hungarian politician who discovers he's jewish is even better imo
― the portentous pepper (govern yourself accordingly), Monday, 4 November 2013 23:02 (ten years ago) link
i think the itineraries were intended to demonstrate how fucking big nyc is and how much it sucks to be shuffled all over the system. i doubt that ian frazier (the author of the homelessness piece) was trying to impress you
he maybe gets away with some things due to his long tenure there, tho

in other news, it turns out that I really, truly, could not care less about the new translation of the Decameron.

Doctor Who thing is entertaining but nothing you haven't heard before. The "New Yorker angle" -- something about the holocaust being ignored in the UK, which doesn't really seem accurate to me, as a UK Jew -- is a bit perplexing though.
I like the idea of Frazier but I find his pieces really hard work.

Grease thieves piece is really interesting. I couldn't handle the Ariel Levy piece, once I saw where it was going I had to skip it :/

I also liked the Eugenides story. I don't know that I've ever read anything by him before so I don't know if it's typical. I thought it was fun and amusing and touching.
