Encore

Thomas Nassiff returns to the show to talk about live albums and when and where we think they work. We talk about our favorites, live bootlegs, and wonder why more bands don't release more live material. We also talk about March Madness, having birthdays, the other Encore podcast, the other Chorus logo, home automation, books about tech companies, and all our usual stuff. Show notes can be found on chorus.fm.

Special guest Jacob Tender joins the show to discuss AbsolutePunk.net, SpinMedia, UnderTheGun and a lot of behind the scenes chaos that plagued the music web community over the past few years. Then we move into a discussion about creating things and the balance between hobbies, work, and everything between. We look at what it's like to create things, when to know if they've failed, and why it is we both feel a need to create and put things out into the world. There's also talk about the new MacBooks with Touchbar and some thoughts on AirPods as well as collecting media and how we track what we listen to, read, and watch.
