On 'Heartbreaker,' I had to sing those songs. I drank the way I did those songs. I ate the way I did those songs. I communicated the way I did those songs. With 'Gold,' I was trying to prove something to myself. I wanted to invent a modern classic. |
| The Edge |
Starting a band is the easy part. Once you've formed the band, you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do - they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search. |

All my cousins steal things. They're just a bunch of thieves. My whole family is like that. You put something down for a second, and they steal it. You never see it again. |
| Theodore Roosevelt |
A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. |
| Wilson Mizner |
If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research. |
| Anthony Hamilton |
Most songs I write are spur-of-the-moment-type things. I have to be spontaneous. If not, songwriting can bore me. There is no pre-design or idea of what I am going to do when I go into the studio. It's all like that for me. I could go in and write two or three songs in an eight-hour session. You can't over-think songs. You just can't. |
| Jason Isbell |
I know people who have written big hit country songs that are really kind of terrible songs, but for the rest of their life, they're the guy who wrote that. You've got to be careful; if you don't want that to happen, don't write those songs. |
| Mahalia Jackson |
Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope. |
| Nicholson Baker |
I hadn't played any music since freshman year of college, more than thirty years ago, so I had to relearn everything. I started writing songs. Some were dance and trance songs (I listen to them a lot while I'm writing), and some were love songs, because that after all is what music is about - dancing and trancing and love and love's setbacks. |
| Randy Bachman |
When you play all that as a body of work there are four great songs, four mediocre songs and four bad songs. I didn't know it at the time; I was just doing my best. |

How Hackers Can Use Pop Songs To 'Watch' You
Forget your classic listening device: Researchers at the University of Washington have demonstrated that phones, smart TVs, Amazon Echo-like assistants, and other devices equipped with speakers and microphones could be used by hackers as clandestine sonar "bugs" capable of tracking your location in a room. Their system, called CovertBand, emits high-pitched sonar signals hidden within popular songs -- their examples include songs by Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake -- then records them with the machine's microphone to detect people's activities. Jumping, walking, and "supine pelvic tilts" all produce distinguishable patterns, they say in a paper. (Of course, someone who hacked the microphone on a smart TV or computer could likely listen ...

Things I think I'm going to implement after April 14th:
1. Button to toggle anonymity of a post if it is yours
2. Input box on thought page will work like a chat box and update in realtime
Then ...?
3. Profile picture uploads
4. Graphs of user language usage statistics on user profiles?

Algorithmic Analysis Shows That Pop Music Is Sadder and Angrier Than Ever
BBC Culture reports -- with some neat graphs in the article -- on two different scientific studies that both found that chart-topping pop music has been getting steadily sadder and angrier since the 1950s, and that both song lyrics and the musical tone in hit songs are sadder, more fearful, and angrier than ever before in history. Lior Shamir of Lawrence Technical University found the following trends in his algorithmic analysis of Billboard Hot 100 hit song lyrics: "Expressions of anger and disgust roughly doubled over those 65 years, for instance, while fear increased by more than 50%. Remarkably, today's songs are even more aggressive and fearful than in punk's heyday. One probable reason for this is the growin...

Songs I've had stuck in my head recently:
1. My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
2. On Top of Spaghetti

And books, pictures, songs, and movies are just really interesting numbers. You may say, though, it's just a digital representation of an intangible idea.

Amazon Music is absolutely terrible. If I select all 100+ songs I bought and hit 'download', why the fuck would I want it to then download each file separately? Might as well just torrent. It's easier.
