Welcome to a Saturday Morning #FediListen

It's where I go to the #music tag and I find the first three songs, listen to them, and give the songs a collective tarot reading.

The criteria:

-must use the music tag
-must include some way to listen to the music
-must include the title and artist
-must include some description of the music in the body of the post. Literally any attempt at description will do.
-must be only one song (not an album)

It is time! Let us commune with the Fediverse!

Here are our musical tarot toots (English translations in alt-texts):

@3jackdaws sends us "Low Life" by Crobot (2019).

https://mastodon.social/@3jackdaws/112498421651541332

@buru5 sends us "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" as covered by The Cardigans (1994).

https://mstdn.games/@buru5/112497446948221983

and for our final pull,

@musenhain sends us "Mama" by Genesis (1983).

https://friendica.andreaskilgus.de/display/f016db04-1366-50d9-e5ea-3d1688744700

toot by forrest @buru5 i've always found pop covers of metal songs fascinating as they clearly draw out the original creator's intended melody and reveal the pop underpinnings of metal (standard verse-chorus song structures, for example), and The Cardigan's cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath comes close to being one of my favorite renovations. anything else come to mind? #music
Andreas Kilgus Ein Paradebeispiel dafür, mit wie wenigen harmonischen Variationen man auskommt, wenn das Arrangement was kann. Außerdem wusste ich zuvor nicht, dass derlei in Phil Collins' Stimme steckt. Nicht zuletzt war natürlich auch für einen synthesizerbegeisterten Teenager etwas geboten: Genesis - Mama A prime example of how few harmonic variations you can get away with if the arrangement is good. I also didn't know that Phil Collins' voice could do that before. Last but not least, of course, there was also something for a synthesizer-loving teenager: Genesis - Mama

Be documentarian

Write your observations, your thoughts, and feelings. Your written legacy is what future historians will use to interpret what happened into the past. Writing is the evil twin of thinking.

If the pie is too small, are you actively working to make it bigger? What have you done to challenge the exploitation of younger/newer researchers and researchers from non-WEIRD cultures?

I don't want to hear that PIs have their hands tied. I want to hear what PIs are doing with their privilege.

Y'know...I really used to think that the weight of being wrong in light of bulletproof evidence would change people's minds about pretty much anything.

It doesn't. It really doesn't.

And I think that's because on some level people identify so deeply with the things that they belive that to change their mind in light of new evidence feels like some sort of betrayal instead of a logical step.

ttpphd,
@ttpphd@mastodon.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1

Yes!

The marketplace of ideas isn't an algorithm for truth. There is no inherent bias for reason or empirical evidence to prevail in a contest of persuasion. Even scientists who debate each other fiercely, with highly technical evidence, rarely change each other's minds about really big questions.

Unannounced inspection finds serious safety concerns at federal prison in Sheridan
The Oregonian / OregonLive

The list of things wrong is absolutely horrifying. Prison is where society puts bodies to suffer and die. This is not justice. This is callous cruelty.

Before Caroline Polacheck was giving dominatrix ted talks to late night audiences, she was doing squid face dances in mint body suits as part of Chairlift.

It's the knee wiggle for me.

“Are there any other male friendly subs on here?” - online men’s rights groups as simultaneous communities of care and hate, inclusion and exclusion:
Luc S Cousineau, Leisure/Loisir (2023)

"There is, therefore, a kind of shared identity between myself and the collective avatar of men’s rights groups (the White male patriarch) that while fundamentally misaligned ideologically, compels me to examine the phenomena that draw people ‘like me’ into their ranks"
