Today I will be mostly building an Amiga MIDI interface (take that, ST fans!) with huge thanks 🙏🏽 to Professor @davbucci for the circuit. 
Progress:
... and we have midi input!
Ever wondered why JAY-Z, NAS and 50 CENT don't rap like SNOOP, GAME and NIPSEY?
—It’s because they don’t speak the same.
Our #HipHopLinguistics research on this is out now in Language and Speech (doi.org/10.1177/002383…)!
And here's a thread with the abridged version.

@nienke_hoeksema @wanderlowie Any hip-hop fan can tell you West Coast and East Coast hip-hop sound different. There’s lots of reasons for this, but an important one is how rappers from these regions actually rap: their #flow.
Flow can be defined as the #rhythm and #melody of rap.

@nienke_hoeksema @wanderlowie Hip-hop is closely linked to the language variety of African-American English (AAE). We know that West Coast AAE and East Coast AAE don’t sound the same, but we don’t really know how they differ regarding #prosody.
Prosody is defined as the #rhythm and #melody of speech.

Thread: I'm a little bit bored, so let's talk a while about my #C64 #hardware collection, shall we? This setup is my #C64 workhorse. It is a German C64C equipped with a car TFT, two 1541-II floppies and it came with a 4x kernal switch.

The kernal switch gives me access to three other kernals beside the original C= kernal: JiffyDOS, SpeedDOS Plus and EXOSv3.

The alternative kernals include nice stuff like F-key functions for listing discs and speedloaders. Although I'm told JiffyDOS is the best(tm) speedloader I tend to use EXOSv3 most. A PRG with 81 block is loaded in 6s instead of 53s!

Firstly, let's talk about how scary #technology and #advancement can be to #music.
Some stats:
The US lost $12.5 billion a year in total sales due to pirated music.
71k jobs were lost; $2.7bn in annual earnings; $1.1bn of that would have been earned by the industry.

But as with any #tech #disruption, there are always negative externalities.
In the #music industry, most of the bad press came from #piracy. Sites like Napster and P2P torrenting were rampant back in the day.
