Paid $11 for the CD on A****n then saw that the band sells it for $6 post paid on ebay.

That's the best you could do? How about "so it's never coming home then?"….

Anyone else watch the "This Is Pop" documentary series on Netflix?
Overall I would give it a B as some episode were far more interesting then others.
As mentioned in the Listening to thread, the one that turned to probably the best was the "When Country Goes Pop" hosted by Orville Peck. The Britpop episode was weighed down by the umpteenth rehashing of the Oasis vs Blur chart battle, etc.
The Protest song episode had the usual suspects Billy Bragg talking about Woody Guthrie, Public Enemy, etc. But did include MILCK "Quiet" song which was a great addition. The episode on festivals was ok, except for the bit on the US festival.
The episodes on Boyz II Men and the Swedish Songwriters\Producers cranking many of the current hits didn't really reveal anything groundbreaking.

first solo: there are multiple notes, due to bending. FAIL.
second solo: i hesitate to call that part a solo… but fine. WIN, i guess.
third solo: legit. WIN (although some might say the use of the wah is cheating…)
fourth solo: uh… "a few seconds later"? how convenient to skip THE OTHER NOTES. FAIL.
fifth solo: legit. WIN.
60% - barely a passing grade. we need better next time.

Finished it last night actually.
Auto-tune was my least favorite episode and When Country Goes Pop was probably my favorite:
(1) When Country Goes Pop
(2) Stockholm Syndrome
(3) Festival Rising
(4) What Can a Song Do
(5) Brit Pop
(6) Brill Building
(7) Boyz II Men
(8) Auto-tune
What can a song do would have been higher, but the Hozier story felt forced and would have been better to end on MILCK. Agree that the Brit Pop story was like a USA Today story or British tabloid, nothing else. I liked Stockholm more than you apparently, even though The Brand hasn't stopped listening to ABBA since we watched it. Also, when country goes pop should have included more Tay-Tay/Kacey like stories, but was still really good. In the Brill building episode, I spent way too much time trying to remember where I knew Linda Perry from, I know it wasn't producing Gwen Stefani songs, but then realized it was because I blocked her and her band completely from my life.
The problem with the auto-tune episode was they should have just focused on how it’s just another tool used in the recording process, but instead they got all philosophical about it. Instead of highlighting the reaction to T-pain’s Tiny Desk Concert, they should shown him winning Masked Singer instead
They only alluded to how vocals had been recorded prior to auto-tune… I.e. Bowie being one of the rare ones who could do one or two take vocals, or singers use to sing flat and they compensated with arrangements behind them..
Both the inclusion of Hozier and Linda Perry seemed really forced… and was surprised Kacey didn’t get mentioned, but Neko did instead which was good
