Dunbar's Number

I find it wild that reloads aren't ubiquitous across music culture. A while back I asked the Symfonium to count reloads in play stats. e.g. I play 30% of a song and I'm loving it that much, I rewind it to play it again. That should be reflected in my play stats as two plays. The developer seemed baffled by that saying if I want to play songs over and have them count I should set the player to repeat one. I can't be mad at him, it's cultural. #Ragga/#Dancehall does reloads, #HipHop does reloads even #RnB does reloads. I can only assume that whatever he listens to, it's not part of the culture. But yeah, I'll reload a song three times and never hear the last verse, because that's just how I've been brought up to digest music.

It's not a criticism of #Symfonium or the developer, just an observation about #music and #culture.

very strongly front loaded album this - starting with that absolute sampling masterpiece I’m Bad on the Bigger Side, followed by one drum machine track after another. then turn to the Deffer Side, and you get the scratching anthem Go Cut Creator Go, followed by more drum machine tracks. and don’t get me wrong, those are great, too (and include the game changing I Need Love, of course), but they do not have the energy of the opening tracks on both sides. #hiphop @vinylrecords
