i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

Ok this is crazy. Of course voice is also nothing more than a tone on a certain level, but it’s not literally voice you get back here - midi isn’t capable of that… Listen to it!

Always funny, and makes a damn good point as well. Just watch the movie and you’ll understand what ‘native advertising’ means. And why I’m starting to hate 'advertising’ more and more, including the once that don’t make it that bloody obvious; like content marketeers and the likes…

do it now. Don’t wait for permission to make something that’s interesting or amusing to you. Just do it now. Don’t wait. Find a story idea, start making it, give yourself a deadline, show it to people who’ll give you notes to make it better. Don’t wait till you’re older, or in some better job than you have now. Don’t wait for anything. Don’t wait till some magical story idea drops into your lap. That’s not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it’ll show up. Begin now. Be a fucking soldier about it and be tough.
