Hello. Welcome to Daily(ish) for Friday, 03/10/2017. It's, still minus 21. It feels like minus 31. Think that's exactly what it was yesterday when I recorded.
Speaker 1:Feels like minus 31 with the wind chill, which was what? Minus 21 f's, I think is what we said yesterday, but this is not a weather podcast.

Excellent. Alright.
Speaker 1:I I would just wanna record a quick follow-up almost episode of from yesterday because I left it kind of like mad at, at YouTube and I'm not that I'm worried there or maybe YouTube's management or record company or whatever, the financial department because I was reacting to them posting news about their thirtieth anniversary Joshua Tree sets and all that kind of stuff and being a little bit expensive and kind of disappointed that people who just want the music don't necessarily need all the packaging because they're not collectors or for whatever reason don't want all that. There wasn't really a way to get that all the extra music. And it looks like now they have put out a version that'll be digital version. You can pre order it on iTunes. Link is in the show notes.
Speaker 1:Goodstuff.fm/daily/20two. If you wanna follow the link and help me get rich, or maybe pay for one song on the track listing. Anyways, it has the, the main thing that I was kinda like looking at and hoping to be able to find without having to I knew that like the YouTube fan community, if I put out a call and said, hey, anybody leave the files anywhere by chance or whatever that, you know, things like that happen obviously. But, no, I was wanting to buy it legally and, have it as part of my own collection, digital collection anyways, and it looks like it's got a lot of the all the twenty seventeen remixes and live versions that that kind of stuff that's that you wouldn't otherwise get. So I'm excited.
Speaker 1:It's 2499, comes out June 2 as well just like the the hard copy or whatever. And, so I can participate along with everybody else legally and not risk Bono sending the police after me. We did record a a brief, we call them b sides, discussion of the actual they used to have a live event, live event on Facebook yesterday that we kinda just recapped of sorts and talked about and, funny enough, like live streaming is a thing that I love and I think is so I don't know why. I just think it's so cool and and really dig in it and I'm working on a blog post just for my Lemma production site on just the various services out there that you can either services like YouTube and Twitch and and things like that where you can stream to, but also the various apps and things that are out there to stream from your computer to those services. And there's a million of them and every time I talk about one with somebody then they tell me about one other one that they found and it's crazy and it's there's a lot of obviously, venture capital money interested in this area because there's services that are like doing this thing for free that was previously like $500 just hoping to like build a platform big enough that YouTube or Twitch will buy them out and and then everybody gets rich to build the platform.
Speaker 1:So and I just accidentally hit the space bar to stop recording. So, anyways, the platforms are neat. The the software is really cool. For some reason that really hits some sort of nerd nerd geek bone in my body that's the idea of being able to stream what I'm doing on my computer out to the world and all that kind of stuff. These are all really cool.
Speaker 1:I forget why I was oh, yeah. You too. So they they have the same thing they're doing Facebook live and so they have some techies and you can hear there's about fifteen minutes that has since been edited out of them setting this up tech persons and talking about how they'll mic cool the mic and who's gonna mic what and how it's gonna work and all that kind of stuff. And, somebody forgot to turn off the live audio stream from the mics in the room to the the folks on Facebook. Was supposed to be just a record spinning, you know, the the new Joshua Tree record spinning, you know, coming sooner or whatever starting shortly banner kind of image and, yeah.
Speaker 1:So you get to hear a bit of the the behind the scenes stuff going on. Nothing all that interesting really. But then when they actually started the livestream as well, it's they had a three camera setup, think it was, and audio was switching audio levels and audio qualities quality was switching each time they switched the cameras and camera quality was kind of sketchy. And they had a a live video questions as part of it from one from Chris Rock and one from Chris Martin. Obviously, Chris was a popular name, as well as a listener fan question that way and they answered a bunch of other text questions.
Speaker 1:But yeah, for a if a band like U2 can't quite figure out how to end their tech that they can hire, presumably they have the the funds to hire a decent crew, you would think. If they can't figure it out, guess, what chance the rest of us have? So it's it was kind of encouraging in a way, in a weird way to see that even they stumble and fall at some of this kind of stuff despite putting on this massive scale live show that they're able to, you know, move around the world basically from in two nights. Sometimes they stumble on the small stuff and so we'll see. Maybe I don't know if that means I could see on the one hand that I could see Larry, the drummer, who's a bit of a stickler for some of that stuff, could see him pointing to this and saying, it failed.
Speaker 1:It wasn't that wasn't good. It wasn't polished. Let's never do that again. Whereas, a lot of the fans are saying, hey, that was kind of cool even though, you know, there's some technical issues. You know, it's not that hard to do.
Speaker 1:Just you don't even need the whole production just got grab someone with a camera or a phone, turn on Facebook live and do it that way as well as would be just as good if not better because it feels like then you're not trying to be you know studio level quality stuff. So my message is if you're gonna be trying this stuff, test out beforehand. They clearly didn't do any sort of testing of the equipment or the setup. And then also, go for low quality lo fi simple keep it simple stupid, keep it easy, use just a phone on a tripod or something that so that the people who are watching don't also sort of expect it to be super high quality. They they understand you're using just your phone, you're doing it live and it's kind of like it's happening right now and even though it's been scheduled for weeks in advance and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:So, you can watch that over at facebook.com/youtube. I'll put a link in the show notes as well to that. Alright. Hope you have a good Friday. Hope you have a good weekend wherever you are in the world and the weather is warmer than minus 21 f's or minus 31 c's.
