I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.

It's on the 2-and of the bar (the ascending arpeggio). Think the note is an E

Edit - on the 1-and. The lead in is beat 4 of the previous bar. So it's the 4th note of the arpeggio

I love the mis-fretted note in Stairway to Heaven at 3:30. Can't unhear it and love that it's never been dubbed out in all the various remasters etc.

I'm like that with Green Day's "Good Riddance" - the two attempts followed by a muffled "f$#k" are brilliant

To be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It's (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.

But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂

Pretty sure they're asking for software FOR Windows, rather than Windows itself.

I'm a fan of DADGAD - has been well used, so easy to find reference chord shapes

The *arr suite all have web front ends - so you open the page from your phone or laptop etc, add the show you want and off they go with the download, rename, cataloging etc. It it is generally quite elegant in the way it works.

Pearl Jam. For me, Ten was the perfect album - riffs, hooks, emotive lyrics, powerful music, no filler. I stuck with them grudgingly until about the fourth album (Yield?) but haven't listened to a thing they've put out since. It seemed they just got more and more generic with every album, and had less and less of that spark that made Ten so special. I've often wondered why - was it a conscious decision to move from that heavily riff-based music, or did they just run out of original ideas?

Great album. The Warmth remains one of my top 10 songs of all time - just love the shifting harmonies and unusual phrasing of the bass.

I like the comparisons with synthesizers, digital cameras, Photoshop etc. Not an aspect I'd considered before, so it will be interesting if we do in fact see a "creativity boom" as a result of these new techs...

Personally, I've found the text based LLMs to be invaluable in parts of my professional life - for example, churning out boilerplate type text for procedural documents. It's a tool to be used when appropriate, but currently it's new and shiny...
