Ep.111 - GameStop, Madlib & Spotify Patents
On Ep.111 of WG: Gamestop & moving goalposts, Madlib on a myriad of things, Spotify wants my microphone & why some TV gems are being watched again.
In a week where:
- Legendary actress Cicely Tyson dies aged 96.
- Police stop a 70-person strong boat party. £800 fine for the attendees, £10k for the organiser.
- Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi and the country's president are detained amid possible coup.
- ASOS buy Topman, Topshop & Miss Selfridge for £230m.
- More than 5,100 Russians are arrested for protests imprisonment of opposition leader Alexei Nalvany.
In Life: (6:58) GameStop has been in the middle of a fascinating story, meme, conversation. And it's all in the Wild West that is known as the Stock Market.
Johnny Harris video I mentioned.
In the first of two Music segments: (21:22) Madlib is one of the greatest musical minds of our time and with his latest work spanning the globe, it's worth looking at things that have been on Madlib's mind recently.
In the 2nd Music segment: (34:37) Spotify has a great algorithm to help you explore the world of music and refine your tastes, but as an accepted grant shows, they want to go one step further and use our microphones to gain more information.
Lastly, in Film/TV: (44:32) There's a lot of reasons people are watching old TV shows, chiefly, nostalgia & escapism. But is there another reason? Maybe there is.
