Not robos but I mostly get the "can we buy your house" calls. Yesterday I was able to say I just sold my house. They asked "Do you have another one?" trump ass shit.

My band plays the theme song. Theres also a song called “return of the blob” that is killer, mostly instrumental but I doubt it’s in the 80s movie…

That would be 5 years before SB1070 when they made it legal to discriminate on looks and officers were required to check immigration status. Feels like they were already doing that but it was very controversial. It’s wild I still live here but cops are cops wherever you go.

I love physical libraries & books. Probably would've disagreed with you a few months ago. Started to realize how difficult caring and cleaning is old books/buildings. Mold involved in these places not enough funding to properly care for it. It's like a museum that lets you take items to your home.

The Beatles have interesting examples like Strawberry Fields. I think the recorded in two different keys, then when they had to blend two takes they matched the pitches by going a semi-tone in between. Thus making the entire speed and pitch artificial. There’s other songs I think they change speed

I think a lot about this as a musician who plays old songs. Some songs have a standard key, or just key that was popularized. I like playing stuff in the original key and sometimes it makes a huge difference. But singers have different ranges, so people should change the key for their instrument
