New Target commercial...with a PRINCE song being used. Not an SNL skit nor April Fools. Thoughts?

@PicturesFoIder This man would get an elbow to the back of the head if he popped up in my neighborhood and did this shit

@SwitchedOnPop how did you guys NOT mention Freddie Mercury in the episode about men singing really high? He must be on that list somewhere!

@20korg @GIMilner @ianshepherd @HrishiHirway Also, re: television commercials, I've been using FMR's RNC on my TV for years. It makes everything including movies with lots of dynamic range a whole lot more enjoyable!

@20korg @GIMilner @ianshepherd @HrishiHirway I'm surprised that you guys didn't mention Metallica's 2008 album 'Death Magnetic.' Their album prompted a huge discussion about "the loudness wars," as it was so compressed that it was deemed practically unlistenable by many folks. That would have been a great audio example, imo

@planetmoney I'd like to hear your opinions re:investing in human beings. In the novel "The Unincorporated Man," humans are incorporated and don't own majority of themselves - shareholders are parents, gov't,schools, corps, etc., who bought stock on 2nd markets. Can we do this?

@SwitchedOnPop Agreed. One very cool example of an artist using rhythmic space with intention that I always think of is Shuggie Otis, on his song "Sparkle City." If you like, check it out, starting around 4m50s: youtu.be/i2qRHfctsAI

@thechase Well it is very important that each instrument fill it's specific rhythmic space and not step on other people. Young musicians love to overplay as a way of showing how they've progressed. But the goal needs to be the entire performance gelling together.

@SwitchedOnPop I enjoyed your episode on "Space." I'd like to hear your thoughts on the other aspect of space in music - rhythmic space. I'm constantly talking to my bandmates about playing less and letting grooves breathe... What do you guys think?

@TTChelps what is going on with the subway? It's not even cold anymore... Between the presto issues and the consistently terrible service, I'm about ready to give up on the TTC

@TTChelps what's the point of the "new improved express system," when we're sitting at Pape station for 25 mins during morning rush hour?
English

@TTChelps is it reasonable that we're waiting at Don Mills/Eglinton for 40 mins with no 34A in sight? There's been 5 (!!) 34C though.

@JohnTory @Kathleen_Wynne Please help! 75% of the available rentals in Toronto are AirBnb, and I can't afford to both pay rent and eat anymore. How are we supposed to live??
