My mother is under the impression that jazz, all of it, is as obscure of a genre as the rest of the **** that I listen to. One of the interns at her work was listening to Miles and she had to tell me about it expecting me to be impressed that someone else had similarly out of the box taste.

Bennie and the Jets is not a live track. The "audience" was added after the fact.

"Human replication of whatever form usually yields a 95-97% identical copy, and that is what we are seeing here."

'We have words such as "simulacra", "cloning", "synthetic humans", "robotoids", and so on, but exactly what was happening here is still a bit of a mystery.'

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say that the only kind of dubstep that exists is brostep **** like Skrillex, I'd probably be able to afford a mansion-like house by now, so thanks for reminding me of that (otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to post in this thread).

^Yeah, I hear ya. If someone wants to hear a variety of dubstep, I recommend 5 Years of Hyperdub as well as Hyperdub 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4.

For more on that, check here.
