Phone, PC (or TV for that matter, hello Roku), it all goes through the Internet. Hell, I use the free Panodra app on my Roku to fall asleep at night. The ads are hardly intrusive (I grew up on AM Top 40, remember, so I have a high tolerance for ads), but they're always local-specific. So if they don't know anything else, they know where I live. And if I paid for the ad-free service (as if...), they'd still know where I live and my ISP/IP. And I might wonder how many people pay for the ad-free service of any of these things vs taking the ads and keeping it free. What's the %?

Losin has little detail. Just the stuff that has been let out. I think a Prince-related track has surfaced? Now, what's interesting to me is the recollection of Marcus Miller (or was it Branford?) of how Miles was completely inexperienced in the way that they "make records today", the total piecing together of elements, not in post-production like he was used to having Teo do, but actually planning sessions like that from the beginning. So the question there for me is, if Rubberband was already/almost in the can, what triggered Marcus Miller and Tutu? Was that one already planned by WB? This kinda has me thinking that Maybe Rubberband is Miles' Smile - almost finished, but a really ginormous "almost". And coming as it seems to have come on the heels of You're Under Arrest (not at all a favorite of mine), what are we really missing?

Generic data, location, etc. Maybe general music taste, maybe not. Definitely browser info/etc, browsing history, perhaps. Probably no one thing, just aggregate data that is either sold or used internally. When I started webbing on windows 5(?), I set it so that I could screen every f-ing cookie that tried to get placed on my machine. That worked for about a year, and then it got overwhelming. Now I just clean everything up every few weeks, and the stuff that's on there is just stupid. and that's with a browser setting to allow neither "3rd party" cookies and "tracking". I also gave up on "private" browser sessions, because I definitely saw signs that they are not truly private. So, you know, whatcha' gonna do? If you want privacy about something, don't go to the internet with it, simple as that.

I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall the "not perfect" reasoning being used by some writer for Cobb and/or Ruth, and that kind of set the precedent. Like I said, I might be misremembering on that.

"Conventional wisdom" used to be that a unanimous selection would never be granted so as to show that HOF membership was not an easy thing to get, that it had to be earned/worked for because no matter how good the player was, they weren't perfect. Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. I get it, but still...some shit just be stupid sometimes.

I see that this 5 track EP consists of the original cut, 3 remixes, and one radio edit of one of the remixes. Hardly a compelling package for this potential purchaser. Nobody's really saying how "finished" the record really was. "Almost ready to go"...hmmmm..... It might be that some more work was needed then, and would still be needed now. Sooooo.....where's Alan Douglas now that you need him?

The front end interface might be clean, but without the back end data, nothing happens. Apple may be doing nothing with that back end data, not even internally. I wouldn't give anybody the benefit of that doubt, though. For the record, I'm not really "upset" about that either. The fight for absolute data privacy was never really fought from any position other than a retroactive one, and here we are. "They" got the data, and it will be used. C'est la vie.

I have zero faith that any of my aggregate data does not end up being used for targeted ads (or news) of some type. Maybe that's an overreaction, but until solidly and independently proven otherwise, that's my expectation.

I actually met his stepdad once, when playing with a "hotel show band" that got a booking in Greenville. That's a little story unto itself, playing in Greenville.

So long, hero.

No, it's a question that he addressed openly.

In other words, a remix of something that never got released in the first place. I am generally, encouraging of remixes, at least the idea of them, but that irks me, just on principle.

Nat Cole, the Hip-Hop legend?

Unless you’re one of those people who have figured how to be totally insular on the net, aggregated data will get something to you, somewhere. I see all kinds of little things here and there that I know can’t be random. Can I “prove”? Not with my skill set. But nobody collects you data as a hobby, just sayin’...

Poutine 4.

Ledisi is good.

If they have your data, you'll get the ads one way or another.

now being used for this commercial:

It was a serious question, and a serious reply is what was being sought. Thank you, now I know.

Pour my coffee, drink it, and piss it out so I don't have to spend all that time in the can once I get to my desk. If I can all get that, I'll deal with the dog. But only if!

Mike Wolff, Aurell Ray, Don Pate, Eddie Moore, and Sammy Figueroa, bringing it.

Ah, if it's a bare session like that, whatever arrangements existed were probably hers. She had skills.

Ok, I have to ask: Bitter Funeral Beer Band what are the adjectives, and what re they modifying?

Yep. Amazing to me.
