If Taylor Swift is bigger than Beatlemania, then it’s pretty wild to think how much cultural potential is stored in a single person. What if Taylor Swift took psychedelics and reached a new level of artistry, experimentation, and philosophy?

Look into the 1960s shift from live performance to studio recordings. Obviously some bands like the Grateful Dead were the exception. And of course, live touring is still a big thing today. But I wonder if recording technology and distribution got to a point where “the master” recording was just place to focus songwriting efforts.

Rain was released on May 30th, 1966. I never thought of songs having birthdays, but could be neat to track culture events you care about, and then everyday, there’s a set of 5-10 things “On This Day” that are curated to you.

Every Oasis song is derivate of the Beatles song “Rain” (video).

Folk idea:

X50403 (inverted G)
X05425 (A9/A13 … lol what?)
X32210 (Am/C in bass)
50403X (inverted D .. with a high-4?)
XX0331 (A# major) — also add a flat 5th

Came across the Fentanyl song and other songs by Jesse Welles on YouTube. Simple premise: out in nature, simple acoustic song with great lyrics. 157k views. Feels timeless. Channel already has 33k and it’s new. Surprised to find an older channel of his (of 7 years) in a different genre and only 4k subscribers.

Set your alarm clock to a classical music radio station.

On 2nd Avenue & St. Mark’s, there’s a noise band performing on a rooftop near the intersection, and as you walk east, the nature of the sound reflections change in weird ways.
