@owen @grampyfr Found this series of podcasts on modern music. Listened to the first one about tuning systems and found it quite fascinating. I'm always amazed at how much music I know about and what a miniscule fraction of what is going on that represents. Site's a little awkward, but there's a couple dozen episodes with transcripts and supplemental material. Cheers!

Some graphic delights from our 2nd AirBnB in KC...
Two questions about water:
1) can you cook it?
2) is it a mineral?
@owen Here's the quintessential song about just that - which is on Spotify.

@owen That's true. Being pretentious isn't illegal.
@owen I feel your pain. So many playlists I've nearly abandoned because the perfect songs aren't on Spotify. It is the most robust public service I've seen, but they are still missing a bunch of great stuff. Wendy Carlos. The second Buggles album. Ad infinitum.
On the road.
@owen Also, you should know there were many tracks I either couldn't find on Spotify - like Wendy Carlos' version of Ode to Joy used in Clockwork Orange or the primal Bicycle Built for Two experiments from the mid-60's, and like half the tracks from my old "it's more fun to compute" playlist also qualify, but I didn't want to repeat material.
Enjoy!
Owen and I have been sharing Spotify playlists for the past year or so. My rules for making them are that there has to be some sort of thematic unity and it has to be exactly two hours long (as rounded by Spotify). In honor of the book about the history of the vocoder that I'm nearly done reading, I have compiled a playlist of music that features vocoders. There are certain types of music that tend to favor vocoders (Electro - a type of techno - being the most popular), but I've tried pulling examples from other genres. If anybody else is interested in hearing it, the link is posted right after I get my character count to 666. There.

@owen @Baba A bit busy today preparing for our ill-advised adventure, but I'll take a look at the link and see if I can chose five photos. I've got to say, I'm glad you're enjoying the hunt and it's amazing to see all these lost photos, but it's more than a little unsettling for me to be so immersed in his life right now, almost exactly 25 years to the day from his death. Don't want to dissuade you from your treasure hunt and your quest to find out as much as you can about him, but he's not an abstract unknown entity to me and every new picture is a little slap in the face.
@grampyfr I never heard of such a thing. How are they?
@owen It looks like you've arrived, to me.
