I've got some Nine Inch Nails song stuck in my head as a total earworm (yes, 90s-era Xennial here), and for the life of me can't find it on Spotify to implement the only cure: blasting it for hours until the neurons storing it are fried.
Shazam is a solved problem.

We need an app which we can use to hum a few bars poorly and unambiguously find the tune.
If some generous follower is a total NIN nut and thinks they can crack this, DM me and I'll try to describe it to you.
UPDATE:

Thanks to several kind NIN fans who DM'ed, I managed to triangulate it.

It's 'Pilgrimage' on The Fragile.

I think why it wedged in my brain is because i watched this Jan. 6th documentary (which is mayhem), and somehow my brain thought it the ideal soundtrack.

Yes, I have a January 6th take.

Triggered by the superb documentary 'Four Hours at the Capitol' by @visitjamie and @danreed1000, I've shared a few thoughts on the events a year ago today.

thepullrequest.com/p/american-inn…
@visitjamie @danreed1000 Firstly, go see the documentary, either on HBO or via the free link available in the subscriber-only post.

It’s 'Jackass' meets 'West Wing'; an Insane Clown Posse concert somehow invading the set of 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington', and you can’t take your eyes off of it.
@visitjamie @danreed1000 The action oscillates between pitched hand-to-hand combat and carnivalesque scenes of total absurdity: some yahoo reclining on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk; an officer talking shaman guy off the Senate podium like a museum guard telling someone to not touch the artwork.

No Pull Request end of year review would be complete without a rundown of the @getcallin side.

I'm a big believer in social audio: the unscripted candor of what seems a bartop conversation distinguishes it from edited (and scripted) podcasting.

callin.com/show/the-pull-…
@getcallin My first interview was with @bgmasters, who's a prominent member of a new crop of GOP politicians. Former Valley guy, he quit the Bay Area to return to his native AZ to run for Senate. He was novel and compelling and like no pol I've ever talked to.

@getcallin @bgmasters My interview with @DouthatNYT about his new book 'The Deep Places' (which I read twice, the first time in one sitting) was a serious fanboy moment. I'd read more or less anything he writes. His modesty and thoughtfulness in person were disarming.

The 2021 Pull Request Year In Review is here!

Last thoughts on Apple, Judaism, Miami, Cuba, everyone I interviewed, all the viral posts, thoughts on present and future technology....in one over-long post.

Begin thread!

What to say about my former employer and most valuable company in the world?

I abandoned forever the bohemian shenanigans of the writing and media life … but somehow the shenanigans found me.

From loyal Apple employee to combatant within 24 hours. Image
No catalog of 2021’s top tweets would be complete without the opening salvo in the AGM/Apple media battle, my five-point summary of the manufactured brouhaha.

Since the intersection of ads and Web3 seems to be rather ... desolate ... at the moment and nobody has written much here (kudos to @aripap for doing so), I'm going to do a point-by-point analysis of this thread, some of which I agree with (and some not).
@aripap True, and one of the great open questions to me is whether tokens are enough to bankroll Web3 or if you still need ads (or if Web3 can contribute to the existing ads ecosystem in some way). Nobody has a hard, informed answer here yet. Early days, etc.

Yes, much of Web3 interest is not necessarily that it's vastly superior technology, it's the fact it undermines the existing media firmament, and is still an unregulated frontier. It's not just a better mousetrap, it's an unregulated and un-dominated one.

I was exposed to the mind virus of 'Fleabag' by the gf, and now I'm watching season 2 to make up my mind about which character I detest the most, given they're all loathsome.
One of the oddities of publishing narrative non-fiction like 'Chaos Monkeys' is the number of readers who feel they have to like the characters, as if literature is some sort of popularity contest. Rather than the reverse: a gallery of personalities you can relish despising.
Why did nobody mention Kristin Scott Thomas is in this thing!!

Always a delicious shock when one of the greats rolls in on a cameo.

It's hard to convey to the present generation what literary figures like Didion, who defined a time and a literary style, once meant.

We just don't have such people in our culture anymore. The very role itself, much less the talent, just doesn't exist.
Didion penned the best portrait of the wild 1980s Miami of my childhood, and the scheming and imperious Cuban exiles who populated it.

Told by a wide-eyed New Yorker, of course, but still....a snapshot of a budding metropolis and its febrile origins.

amazon.com/Miami-Joan-Did…
'Miami' opens at Woodlawn Park Cemetery, where many a generation of Cuban exile, victims of volatile politics, were laid to rest instead of the island that obsessed them.

(My family's plot is a stone's throw from the lapidary flags described there.)
