  3. (Revisiting this stuff almost makes me wanna start an "EKT resource repository" type of thread with this sorta stuff...but all of my threads tend to be spectacular failures...)
  4. Maine's tea-bagger governer LePage just veto'd botj solar power and Narcan. Truly indefensible.
  5. Also: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/our-innovating-minds/201604/unveiling-underappreciated-key-creativity
  6. http://www.charliemccarron.com/2013/10/the-psychology-of-creativity-with-wilma-koutstaal/ Since the episode is so short she quickly plows througu a bunch of concepts I highly highly recommend listening to it like 3 times to catch it all Time-scaling Alternative Uses Task Studies on experts vs novices (novices tend to be better at generating new ideas, whereas experts are better at executing ideas once they get them...seems to be because experts are stuck in 'zoom-in' mode) Action-Perception Cycle Novel environments stimulate novel ideas Why taking a shower or wearing oven mitts will stimulate creativity Multi-Modal Thinking Etc
  7. She was on an episode of Composer Quest (podcast) Check it out I go back to it like once a month because it's such a goldmine of ideas But the gist is that when we think about a zoomed-in 'time-scale' (e.g. today, this week) we focus on fine-grain details (e.g. hi-hat is too loud in bar 7); When we think in a broader, more zoomed-out 'time-scale' (e.g. this year, my entire life, history of music) we are no longer preoccupied with minutiae, and instead focus on the broader-strokes of the piece.
  8. Wilma Koutstall, who studies the psychology of creativity, recommends "time-scaling" for gaining perspective: for instance, thinking about a choon in terms of your entire career, or the entire history of music. (This will also motivate you in unexpected ways)
  9. TL;DR = http://www.muckety.com/897792228FFFA019E542A0A86226FE6D.map
  10. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_door_(politics) Apparently there are dozens of ex-GS in Obama admin (And vice versa) Not to mention all the other banks and corporations... P.S. Guess who Obama's top campaign donor was? Edit: or maybe 2nd biggest donor...it's surprisingly hard to get a straight answer But anyway found this relevant article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/02/government-sachs-goldmans_n_210561.html
  11. http://fortune.com/2016/04/11/goldman-sachs-doj-settlement/ A validation, I suppose, meager as it might be
  12. Goldman Sachs just (sorta) admitted to defrauding people during financial crisis
  13. 1) time...put it in a drawer, pull it out in a week or two 2) mix it down, listen to it in a car (or on a friend's system) in the context of other music
  14. Tell me that's not a real listing Is that a real listing? Tell me it's not
  15. I'm watching the American one The vibe/mood is like nothing I've seen in TV before
  16. http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/state-trooper-fired-for-proselytizing-on-duty
  17. After learning that Mel Bay and some other music publishers accept spec manuscripts, I've started working on a book tentatively called 'Tonal Concepts' or something like that. I'm really happy with it so far.
