Scripting News: Tuesday, March 31, 2026
It's peeve time. I've just listened to a song that inspires me on Amazon Music. A song I've been humming and singing in my head all morning. After it's done, the voice of Alexa comes on and says "BTW, you have two new messages. Would you like to hear them?" Now I have to think about how much I hate this. I had an exalting experience I want to savor and the frickin robot intervenes. If I say "don't do that again" it says basically "Sorry Dave."#
BTW the latest episode of 500 Songs is about The Who and Tommy. I of course had the album, which means every song is deeply embedded in my personal LLM. This episode, in two parts, was one of the best most recent ones. As with what Get Back did for the Beatles, when you know more about the people creating the art it has so much more value. #
YouTube now puts commercials in front of songs. I used to be able to point to a low rez recording of a song as part of my blog. Now I have to think about all the links I've put in my archive that lead to shittified Google. I had never used that adjective before, I think, this certainly qualifies. #
