Top Music Pirate

RNS was the most pervasive and infamous Internet piracy group in history. In 11 years, RNS leaked more than 20k albums. For much of this time, the group’s best asset was Glover—there was scarcely a person younger than 30 who couldn’t trace music in their collection to him

Quantum Music

A pure quantum musical state would then be made up of a linear combination of the 7 notes with a specific probability associated with each. And a quantum melody would be the evolution of such a state over time.

An audience listening to such a melody would have a bizarre experience. In the classical world, every member of the audience hears the same sequence of notes. But when a quantum musical state is observed, it can collapse into any one of the notes that make it up. The note that is formed is entirely random but the probability that it occurs depends on the precise linear makeup of the state.

this sounds like a greg egan novel.

Most metal goat

Biquette spent the first half of her life in a milking factory, and was then handed over to the farm, where she immediately started to hang out at the shows. “Seeing as the barn floor where we throw the concerts is wooden, I think that she felt the vibrations in her hooves”. Flo added that the goat really enjoyed any settings with lots of people, and would hang out whenever there was a gathering. Biquette was very tame, and followed the Malaysian grindcore band around like a dog. “When it was Wormrot’s turn to play, the goat suddenly went in front of the crowd and watched them play the whole set. It was just chilling around the corner when other bands were playing.” And grindcore wasn’t Biquette’s only vice. She loved tobacco and alcohol, which might have even contributed to her early demise.
