Maladaptive dreaming gets in the way. I think of different scenarios in my head to avoid my own reality.

Talking to each other when they come to town=bad?

The iPod was already massively popular when the iTunes store was established. And more significantly, the store’s DRM didn’t prevent anyone from loading their iPod with music from other sources, legal or otherwise.

The iPod was even more popular by the time the 2D colored ads were introduced. There’s no denying that Apple’s marketing is next-level, and plays a huge role in their success, but it’s one of many factors. The iPod simply had better UI, a higher storage capacity, and tighter software integration than any other player available at the time.

It was also a great way to put all your downloaded music onto a single device, rather than burning it onto dozens of CDRs.

You want the genre and part of the clue you're giving is that it's in Bb?

Yes they were massively greedy and got punished for it once file sharing came along.

I remember I bought a Prodigy CD which is fittingly called ‘The Fat of the Land’ some time around ‘99 or 2000. For some reason I never took the price sticker off, so I remember it costing £19.99! That’s fucking mental. The minimum wage at the time was £3.60.

There aren't that many vowel sounds in the English language. It's just a coincidence

Don't forget that when they switched from vinyl to CDs they doubled the price overnight "temporarily to repay for the cost of the factories". Of course the prices never went down.

What? 👂

More of a Grey Lantern kind of a chad myself, but it’s all good.

came here to say this. I listen to this when I'm stressed and need to get some coding done.

I've never met another person who even knows how to rip a cd so, Yes.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. It wasn't THAT easy to put pirated music on an iPod because it had to be fed through the technological clusterfuck that was early iTunes.

Uh yeah. But it also opened up an easy method to purchase individual songs if you wanted, so while it supported and encouraged piracy, it also encouraged an easy legal method.

I'm sad most of the time and listening to sad music is one of the things that help me to process those feelings

The fact that putting all your downloaded music on a single device was a lot easier and more convenient than burning it onto dozens of CDs certainly didn’t HURT its popularity. Nor did the fact that once you purchased an iPod, you could fill it with music without ever purchasing another CD.

It's a conspiracy. The jazz people are involved.

The Car is great! I actually reviewed it on my podcast. It's actually a great comparison to RAM, as it's music that an artist put out that is so different from their early work it's a bit jarring.

I'm unsure of how you listened to RAM; however, I highly recommend you download the FLAC files, throw on your best set of headphones and just actively listen to the whole thing front to back. I'll leave you with a quote from the album

>Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of music being correct You can do whatever you want

I like the response. It seems you gave it a lot of thought and there is no right answer.

Maybe Good Enough
