We Own This Town: Volume 98

posted December 14, 2017 #

Typically, December would be a time for wrapping up the year's releases into a Best Of list but I don't feel like my We Own This Town podcast has covered everything that's been released in the year yet, so a Best Of list feels premature. I like to think of it as a time capsule of sorts, documenting some of the best things to come out recently. I'm also barreling towards Episode 100 and that feels pretty damn good.

TLDR: here's 32 minutes of new Nashville music to enjoy:

Net Neutrality, Dec 2017

posted December 14, 2017 #

At this point, if you aren't familiar with the Net Neutrality argument, it's a bit of a moot point to bother explaining it. TLDR: The Obama Administration put some controls in place that regulate ISP's under "Title II" classifications within the FCC to ensure a level playing field. Today, Dec 14th, the FCC plans to roll that regulation back. It's a bummer because there's been so much stink made against rolling back the regulation but it doesn't seem to have much of any impact on our elected officials.

I lamented about this on Twitter and was directed to this Ben Thompson article on Pro-Neutrality, Anti-Title II, a calm, non-hysterical, non-antagonizing argument for rolling back the classification. There's even a follow-up piece that adds even more insight and color. Both are completely worth a read. Except the facts are wrong. This WIRED rebuttal points out how every argument Thompson makes for the Title II removal is inaccurate and a misrepresentation. Back to square one.

I'm all ears on hearing how this rollback could be a good thing. I don't tend to the type that trusts big companies will "Do the right thing" or that "the market will sort it out" because that is absolute nonsense thinking.

Hopefully this rollback won't be the end of the conversation. The Internet belongs to the entire world and there's serious innovation and goodness that has yet to be built that only a Neutral Internet can foster.

Hungry

For anyone that has ever doubted that Drag Queen's aren't a high art, please see Exhibit A: German drag queen Hungry. It's really astounding to see the original creations that seem to draw from the exact same well that Bjork is utilizing. It's outlandish, extremely fashion forward and a little bit creepy. A phenomenal combo.

This year, I decided to get better instead of getting bitter. So, I turned off the news, got off social media (for the most part) and started painting—seemingly out of nowhere. I've now created close to 100 pieces in the last 6 months. Here's to a new year of hope and light. https://t.co/UfpFeIBRwg

Vaporwave Christmas Story

posted December 13, 2017 #

As a healthy juxtaposition to the classic sounds of Kmart Christmas, please give a listen to this Vaporwave Christmas Story compilation from Contemporary Tapes. While it has all the tenants and attributes that you'd expect from an album of Vaporwave artists (cassette quality, warbly vocals, phase shifting dubs) it's still a Christmas album and manages to capture a great deal of that uplifting spirit.
If you're hesitant, give a listen to "All I Want For Christmas Is You", "The Scut Farkus Affair" or "Last Christmas" for a healthy sampling of what to expect.

Kmart Christmas

posted December 13, 2017 #

Don't miss this two hour stream of Kmart Christmas Music originally blasted in stores back in 1974. The recording is taken from the archive.org repository Attention K-Mart Shoppers that compiles an unbelievable amount of in-store music largely from the 1980's and 1990's (as you know). You can view the original listing with all sorts of technical details and insights about the reel-to-reel from which it came here.
