660: It’s All Chicken Salad

Apple's ICEblock takedown, AirPods Pro 3 comfort improvements, Live Translation tests, iPhone 17 Pro cases, and expanding the Goose fanbase.

@atpfm I still do not understand Marco’s insistence that DMB is not a jam band. As someone who has seen them live a dozen times and owned dozens of bootlegs, I’m not sure why the threshold for “jamming” is so high that it doesn’t include them. (Love y’all!)

@troygilbert It took me a LONG time to realize this, but, my definition of "jam band" is "any flavor of music but heavily centered around improvisation”.

@marcoarment’s [rather bananas] definition of "jam band" is "very guitar-forward music but heavily centered around improvisation”. (Or, less charitably, "sounds similar to Phish or The Grateful Dead”.)

Once I realized this was the gap between us, I found peace.

@caseyliss so every jazz trio or quartet is a jam band now?

@instantiatethis I think jazz is its own special snowflake

But, yes.
