Theories, Thoughts, and Half-Baked Ideas
Manage episode 459918059 series 2342534
One of the byproducts of doing a show like this for as long as I’ve been doing it is that it’s really hard to shut off your brain.
I’m always thinking about topic ideas, ways to connect facts and trivia, reading a lot of books, talking to a lot of people, and otherwise trying to come up with a constant stream of topics we can discuss.
The result of all this research and thinking and writing are some ideas and perspectives on music, music history, how music is made, how it’s consumed and distributed, and how seemingly small things have led to big changes…that’s one thing.
Another is the opinions formed by observing the opinions of others…why do people like some things and hate others?... another is a list of ideas that aren’t quite fully formed…it seems like I’ve almost grasped a concept. Still, it doesn’t feel right yet—but I feel there’s a germ of truth somewhere.
I’ve also learned that when you’re unsure about something, source the crowd…you might like the answers, but it’s better than living in your own head.
So, let me bounce a few of these things off you, and you can tell me if I’m onto something, if I’m off base, or if I’ve completely lost the plot…
I call this episode “theories, thoughts, and half-baked ideas”.
