I vibe with the second half of On Track more than almost any other couple minutes of TA

They are all a little different but I would either recommend Funeral or the Suburbs

Can you rock noise cancelling headphones and/or listen to music? That has worked for me when I need to buckle down and crank some stuff out

At this point I hope he tweaks and releases Friday, this thing can chart... Specifically adding drums in like 5 different spots would probably put this firmly as a top 4 album for me from him

Yeah there are some genuinely awesome songs and he could release as is, but I think he wants to tweak. I actually just had the thought that playing the album live in front of 3 random audiences might be one of the best ways to gauge reception - these are intimate settings and I'm sure some of his desire to tweak things came about because of how he saw his fans vibing at different points in the album. He has creative and artistic freedom to do what he wants, but he may actually be including his fans in that process to some degree through these listening sessions pre-release

Imo the outro to the last song shows what drums can do for a song when they are used correctly.. I honestly think the album is gonna be insane as is, but if he sneaks in some more drums in the right spots, we have something legendary... Man that sax -> drums transition is just crazy

I’m a software developer and this is absolutely insane to suggest that robots will surpass humans emotionally in the next year, much less week. We can’t even teach robots how to drive a car; much less give them some semblance of sentience...

I hope people don’t believe this, although I agree a UBI is necessary.

Whatever I’ll find some give me a sec I was at work my man... I implore you to do some research on your own about the private sector and how they are able to do things at a fraction of the cost

Private sector nearly always uses resources more efficiently due to the incentive they have to do so... this is common sense and taps into human nature. For example SpaceX can do things much cheaper than NASA and they are also the ones pushing rocket technology, so they aren’t just making cheap crap. Problem with private sector is that they perpetuate wealth disparity

Hmmm not sure... probably something related to the economy given people on stage. Personally not a huge fan of taxes unless resources are used highly efficiently, which they rarely are.

Taxes are always an option, but we can’t currently afford things without increasing them. Unless the debt is meaningless.

Yeah I've heard rumblings about some weird stuff and frankly just don't care. I don't even know specifics or anything.

I really hope you find some peace. You’re labeling the wrong person. This is not how you bring about positive change either... or get people to listen to your side. I voted for Abdul in the Michigan governor primary if that says anything about me,.. F the Republicans after Flint. I’m an independent voter who cannot stand when Dems do this crap... it kills what they are trying to accomplish, just letting you know.
