Order . . .

(from https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/album-sequencing-in-the-age-of-streaming.html)
". . . We have heard about the “death of the album” for quite some time now. In consumption terms, this is partly true. Across all demographics, albums have lost their dominance over singles and playlists as the primary listening format. Both physical and digital albums sales are down too. To account for our new listening habits, the music industry now considers 1500 streams or 10 digital downloads the equivalent of one album copy purchase. . . While these stats may seem like reasons NOT to make an album, the opposite is true. Albums can still move an artist's career forward without selling a single copy. Take Chance the Rapper. He built his reputation for remaining unsigned to a major record label and dropping his mixtapes online for free. Many of the biggest names in rap today followed a similar pattern. . . With albums no longer a sales driver, artists can use the format more freely to make their statement and earn credibility. In 2013, Boards of Canada delighted fans with a bizarre scavenger hunt leading to the live-stream of their fourth album Tomorrow’s Harvest. And Both Frank Ocean and Beyonce have put out recentish albums with conceptual video pieces attached to them. . . Albums tell the story of an artist or group at a specific moment in time that one or two singles cannot. Think of a recent album you really enjoyed listening to. Would it have been as impactful released as a slew of singles over the course of a year? Probably not. . . When it comes time to release your long-form music project, one thing that definitely needs to be considered is its sequencing—i.e. the ordering of songs to create a compelling narrative and flow. This is where albums have a leg up over playlists. . . "

Elephantine . . .

 


. . .  piano


Conversational, sounds to me,
About up, about down,
About how big was he.
Larger than life,
Than a truck or a tree. 
Than Orca, Narwhal, Beluga, Baleen,
All are subjugated to elephantine.

Resourceful . . .

(from Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder)
". . .  When the solution came, it seemed obvious: Why not create a new gathering place before the old one went dark? To do this, Ghost Dancer couldn't just stroll into MacDonald's with a laptop. For starters, he didn't own a laptop, and WiFi hotspots wouldn't be ubiquitous for another a [sic] few years. So he jury-rigged an internet connection between the pay phone and the limited equipment he carried in the truck. "Freejack style," he called it. The setup relied on a Konexx acoustic coupler: a device that attached to a pay phone handset to receive and transmit analog data by holding a microphone to the earpiece and a loudspeaker to the mouthpiece. The other end of this coupler was plugged into a WebTV box, which had a built-in modem and offered basic browsing service; such boxes had started appearing in the mid-1990s, when computers were more expensive and less intuitive. To save space, Ghost Dancer had hung the WebTV from his CB radio. From there, it was connected to a thirteen-inch Philips television sitting on the passenger-side floor. After hours of fiddling with the setup, he fed thirty-five cents into the pay phone to get online, then logged into Yahoo . . . "

Comparing . . .

(from https://www.instagram.com/p/CS3lczrLWrU/?utm_medium=share_sheet)

". . . Anti-lockdown protesters to be sent to Afghanistan to compare 'Dictatorships'. . . An Australian joke. . . A new reality TV show announced this week will send a group of anti-lockdown protesters to countries including Afghanistan, North Korea and Belarus so they can compare how dictatorships in Melbourne and Sydney measure up to the ones overseas. . . Named ‘Dictator Exchange’ the show will kick off with a two-week stint in Kabul. “They’ll be left to their own devices to ‘do their own research’, which they’ll love,” series producer Alicia Lam said. . ."

Held . . .

. . . together  

There was a time
When I was so unsure 
Of how I would find
My way through tears and trouble.
This big world can
Look so scary 
To a little boy
On his own.

It's held together by your love.
So secure sometimes it's frightening.
The thread connecting
All the right things
That help me to survive.
It's held together by your love.
It's so sure it strikes like lightning
A breeze refreshing
Me when I 
Find that life is cruel.
It's held together by your love

Each day I'd see 
Life full of uncertainty.
So few were free
From burdens of humanity.
It seemed to 
Me like everything 
Was fraying 
Before my eyes

I'm not one to run away
From each little storm.
Only fools refuse assistance
As they're carried downstream in the 
Rushing foam

I look around,
Concerned for much 
I see now.
I may have found
The rare elusive why and how
That everyone keeps searching
For, to bind or mend
All life's loose ends.

Waves . . .

. . . grace. sun, a little at a time . . . 

The ocean waves kiss the beach
Wherever they please
So many places to reach
Yet still with grace and ease
Countless miles to cover
Before meeting another

Nesting, a wren adds a leaf
A home she foresees
No blueprint, plans and no grief
Construction marvel agreed
Seasons need to instruction
Each with their own introduction

A little at a time
Enough that you can do
All else will wait in line
Many different worlds
Can’t be moved at once

Sun shines so frequently
No invitation required
No schedule does she keep
She and the moon will conspire
You want your cake and to eat it
All in it’s place as you meet it

Patience in one kind of virtue
Much more than patience to you
All things will come in their own time
Individually
