Forgotify

posted June 13, 2019 #

It's old news at this point but new to me. Forgotify is an API service that mines the depths of Spotify to find songs with zero play counts (or partial play counts) and surfaces them one-by-one for you to experience. Though my time with it thus far has been brief, the offerings have been good! It's a solid reminder that just because it's good doesn't mean it's been heard. An issue a lot of artists deal with.

If you're into Forgotify, there's also No Likes Yet for Instagram, The Long Tail for unpopular songs from your favorite artist and PetitTube for YouTube.

Tiger Beat came up as a source when I was researching something?? And their website has a lipstick cursor like it is still 2009.

Bad news everybody, I just heard a country version of One Week by the Barenaked Ladies coming out of a Jimmy Buffett’s Magaritaville.

I was just on a super bumpy flight. 30m in, someone opened a bag of what could only have been piping hot french fries. Why don’t I plan better for imminent death and two hours of constant fear?

Friday Videos - June 7th, 2019

Sometimes you load up Giphy.com looking for a gem and, occasionally, Giphy provides. I don't even want background info on what I'm seeing, I'm just into it.

Nashville residents, please come out to Vinyl Tap Nashville on Sunday, June 9th, for Bill & Ted Day, presented by San Dimas Today; the podcast I help produce. It's gonna be a relaxed, good, time.

Here's some quality distractions!

The The Deer Tonight - audio perfection.
Huckabee Korn - Brian "Head" Welch goes on Mike Huckabee's show and they have themselves an old time jam.
MAKRO | Microsoft Excel Stream Highlights - fantastic update from the inside world of competitive Excel spreadsheeting. See you all at Balmercon 2019!
SNL Blooper Reel, Season 44 - I love a good blooper reel and this one delivers.
A Cat Explains DNS - Look, I don't know anything about Nil, the creator and star of this video, and I hope there aren't awful skeletons in this closet. There is so much going on here it's hard to even begin to summarize it properly. Watch it, know that everything he's saying is 100% accurate, and then give his other videos a deep dive.
Quasi "Paint It Black" - have always enjoyed this cover from Quasi and recently revisited it. Maybe you'll enjoy it too.
Godzilla Dance - pure entertainment.

Yes, you probably also should see the Helicopter Rescue from Hell but it's such a mixed bag of hilarious and awful feelings, I couldn't include it here.

Instead, enjoy this weirdo.

What’s an SNL quote you perpetually have stuck in your head? For me, it’s John Goodman as Robert De Niro on The Joe Pesci Show saying, “I heard things. I heard things about Marvin’s Room!”

Everyone likes to bitch about overused gifs but what’s your favorite gif that you will never get tired of ever no matter how much it’s used?

A sign of maturity, for me, is letting people think the thing they’re sharing with me is new to me because it makes them feel good & also makes me look less like the obsessive on-line tween with insomnia that I really am.

Photo Wake-up

posted June 6, 2019 #

This Photo Wake-Up project is blowing up my tiny little brain. Given a single photo input, a 3D model can be generated and animated. The above demo video is full of examples, all insanely impressive. They even go as far as to explain, broadly, what is happening behind the scenes.

Apparently tech like this has existed since at least 2007 but this newest take on the idea is the most robust and can even exist within a full AR space.

The examples they use are, surely, best case scenarios (i.e. no overlapping body parts, very crisp images, etc) but that doesn't make the concept any less bonkers. I've watched this four times at least.
