 Thanks for sharing Mike-Very interesting, true and alarming in general. I don’t stream, but do purchase albums or songs digitally more than I used to. I still buy physical copy as much as possible but the death of the record stores means spending more than a straight up download. As to his points about the way music is recorded together with how we hear and respond to music these days he is spot on. I do think as long as there are people recording on analog, striking the occasional bum note or singing a flat note that the technology will never truly take over but its tough for sure.
 I was watching an episode of McDonald & Dodds that had an interesting scene- a challenge between a professor of blues history pitted against a student claiming AI could produce a recording of Robert Johnson. The student played 3 versions, one the real, two AI. The professor only had to hear 10 seconds of each to proclaim which one was real…because AI neglected to include the sound of a train whistle in the distance heard during the real recording. Yes it was cliched, but it made a nice point about imperfections really making things more interesting. Long may it be so

 Here's another of Rick's videos which tells a story of what it was like in the olden days, including the making of Steely Dan's Rikki Don't Lose That Number and Aja.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-fEKf3Av3c |

 Local (to me) duo Honey and The Bear cover WKWTTG. https://youtu.be/h-ZGDjpIXs4  Has an air of Eddi Reader about it, I think.  |

 I have very little understanding of why people would cover a song like that.  What can you possibly hope to achieve? This is (I think) better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXOh3_WGNFU |

 First saw them play at the Great British Folk Festival at Butlins when thy won the introducing stage. Seen them a few times since and they are indeed very good. I like this cover. |
