ICYMI, here’s yesterday’s PMBIP. @askjerseth.bsky.social and Catherine Provenzano talked about presets, genres, samples, Oblique Strategies, vocal stylings, stereotypes, Jonathan Sterne, and more. And keep a pen handy for the biblio these two whipped up off the dome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGdv...

Shoutout to the student who put Lisa Germano's "A Guy Like You" on his end-of-semester playlist. The student wanted to talk about her during our class discussion about songwriting, but we didn't get around to it. I've actually never listened to her before. What a treat!
