So, here I am, listening to the Cosmos soundtrack and strangely not stoned. And I realize that it's been a while since we've had a random music recommendation thread. What's the musical haps in your worlds, friends?

So first off I want to share the playlist that's been stuck in my head for the last few weeks since I remembered it exists. Baby Got Back Talk, a punk outfit out of NYC, were outraged that an article in Rolling Stone or somewhere about the "philosophers of rock" didn't include any women or non-white people, so they assembled a bunch who they felt should have been featured.

If you prefer your music so-fresh-it's-undercooked, you may also enjoy the podcast Jam Mechanics . Bug from Bug Hunter and Matt from The Narcissist's Cookbook , two aggressively indie singer/songwriters, are prompted to make a song about something and then share the resulting demos ~4 hours later. A few of the songs from the first season have been actually finished into full tracks, but I like hearing the rough cuts and initial reactions because I'm that obnoxious guy.

It was Jann Wenner, former Rolling Stone owner/editor, who said that he only wanted to write about "philosophers of rock ’n’ roll" for a book he wrote called "The Masters".

You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
