Nice, John.

The pity of the novel, as a form of communication, is that the markets have co-opted the medium. Also, who's got that kind of time anymore.?Very few of us.

Thanks for the head's up. [Read entire topic]

Much of the most vital Jazz & Rock are a type of open source collaboration. At least when I look at my tastes in music they tend to be away from the autuer based recordings.

Perhaps this penchant for 'authorship' is just a passing foible in human history?

I guess I like a little of both. I remember when people were trying to press the rave ideology on Mondo 2000, truly the death of the romantic artistic individual making a statement. I liked some of what I heard but I didn't want to listen to it all day. I wanted to hear a voice, and all that implies. The more the ravers were pressing electronica on us, the more a bunch of us became obsesses with listening to Elvis Costello. [Read entire topic]
