Max Headroom designers must have been inspired by Marshall McLuhan. Not only his "medium is the message" concept but also the look of this video of Marshall McLuhan from 1967.

Imagine if Kurt Cobain was shown this clip in 1993 by a time traveler. He would never believe it.

This is going to be amazing. How in the world did anyone communicate at this time in order to coordinate a revolution from Quebec to Georgia?

Chris Murphy trade must be Korey Lee.

Teel or Edgar Quero for Murphy would be ridiculous.

I figured out the polychords in this jazz ii-V-I turnaround in Eb Major.

Nice 3+3 voicings. You would hear this on a jazz Christmas record very often.

Turnaround is Fm7>Bb7>Eb

Spice it up to Fm13>Bb7b9#11/13>Eb 6/9

If you use a polychord synonym, you get:

Gm/Fm7>G7/B7>Bb5/Cm

Useful? Maybe.

It's gotten to the point where I trust a business much more if they are NOT online.

It's like trusting someone because they DON'T have a substance abuse problem.

So when I look for a bank, the one bank NOT on Yelp! is the first bank I call.

New York company Yahoo! Inc. is 8 years old now and their CEO was formerly the CEO of Tinder.

Can Jim Lanzone resurrect this pioneering brand of Silicon Valley lore? Yang and Filo's Yahoo! Inc. was once the most trafficked website in the world back in the late bronze age.

Private jets are 12% of daily air travel.

Makes sense to ground that 12% before grounding commercial flights

Tweedy plays Chicago artist Chaka Khan/Rufus.

Pretty good for just learning it off your iPhone backstage right before show. Hard song.
