Yes this is the real issue. The ytm catalog is terrible. And the interface is a joke! If they ever force me to leave gpm, I'll switch to Spotify

Re: Friday 5: How to get the most out of YouTube Music

Exactly! The library is absolutely a deal breaker on YTM. Dozens and dozens of albums that are available on all other streaming services are not available on YTM. If they can't match the libraries of the other services ytm will be a non starter.

Re: Ditch Your Student Debt: 8 Ways to Get Out of Your Student Loan Without Paying a Dime

Kristi have you had any luck with this method? I'm looking into it right now. I've found the owner of my loan, but I'm not sure how to force them to let me stop paying if they can't send me certified information.

Re: The Infinite Checkerboard Quandary

BWR — Sun, 13 Sep 2015 22:30:21 -0000

Q1 - The way I see it, the expanding circle is always a finite space, approaching infinity. But it will never actually reach infinity - it will just just keep expanding forever. The checkerboard, on the other hand, is an already infinite space. Therefore, no matter how long you wait for the dropper to expand it will always be covering a finite number of beings while an infinite number of beings will be uncovered (half of infinity is still infinity, after all). Therefore I would have to create infinitely happy people and use the sadness dropper. That way more and more people would be sad all the time, but the number of happy people would always be infinite.

Q2 - I like Arnold's answer below: I don't know where I am on the board, but I would want the happy dropper because eventually I'm going to be happy.

I just listened to this episode. Everyone did a great job and I was deeply enlightened more than once. Kristine's comments were just gorgeous pretty much every time she opened her mouth. Thanks.

the first album that all three of my kids heard on the day that they got home from the hospital was kind of blue. It was the best introduction to the world that I could think of.

Thanks Darius - I've had this album on LP for probably close to 30 years. I have no idea where it came from. I ripped the MP3's using Audacity and a headphone/mic chord. So you can hear the crackle of the record if you listen carefully.

Yeah. I posted a song from Graceland a long time ago on this blog and the Los Lobos thing came up then too.

And I agree about Dylan - possibly my all time favorite artist, if I had to name one.

Meden - that makes perfect sense and may in fact solve the mystery. Oh and thanks for pointing out the broken link -- and thanks to Darius for fixing it for me while I spent the night in a tent.

eh... Keep On Runnin' was pretty big, but I said "major" hits and I stand by that.

Yes - I remember this week fondly too. Especially Night Moves. That has to be one of the best posts that we've ever had on this site.

hgyruey: haha - yeah, i'm actually trying to pace myself. it was a good year.

ramone666: that's interesting, and now that i look my cd says the same. AMG and Amazon give it a release date of May, 1979. Wikipedia says April, 1979. I can't explain the discrepancies.

Thomas Dolby has more than enough work to support himself: He's a (probable) billionaire, having developed software that is used on about 2/3 of cell phones worldwide.

His music revenue is just pocket change.

windreader - if you find that cassette, send me an email so we can talk (bwrice@gmail.com). I'd really love to hear that.

Re: Live: Is She Really Going Out With Him

Very interesting, thewarden. I saw him in minneapolis a few years ago and he was as cordial as can be. But, yeah, in 83 he was living up to the "angry young man" image. Maybe age has mellowed him.

he ain't no segovia either - jazz and classical often produce the most technically brilliant musicians. In the rock world, though, Eddie is up there in a pretty elite class.

I love greg brown. I'm an iowa transplant, but i'm proud to call him one of the state's greatest accomplishments.

I haven't been able to post lately for personal reasons, but this was one of the songs that came to my mind too. My favorite cover is Elliot Smith's. (I will post again soon).

The original really is a sappy track, I agree. I think a lot of that is to be blamed on Specter, though, who added all of the ridiculous and over-the-top production. The version from Let It Be Naked is much better.

This Aretha track is fantastic.
