"Then they can do what they want. But we need to make sure the bills are paid. Right, right. So the second guitar, the bass guitar and the drummer kind of fade back and try to I see that they look at each other a lot. Yeah, there's a lot of communication going on. Yeah, they're just like, so are we all on the same beat? Are we all doing, what do you want to do? You want to do something fun? And yeah, so yeah, you can change the energy of the room without people even knowing that you're the one that did it. They won't know where to look. Someone pulled something. It's very much like the role of a writer or editor, and there's countless stories about, this might not be true, but I remember something like this, but have you heard that George Lucas wife is the reason Star Wars was edited the way it was, like she's responsible for that or like Feynman's wife did this or something. There's always someone in the background that did some stuff that's not credited for it. Right, right. And then I feel like that's what a rhythm section kind of is. They're not a spotlighted, but they're definitely. And I mean, it's true. Like you're hanging out with somebody for 24 hours. They're going to affect how you write. That's why I always thought that bands when they published the songs. The whole band writes the song, you know? Especially if they're performing it as it's coming together. You know? Because my jokes are different today than they were 15 years ago when I wasn't with my with Andy. My fella. And he has affected my stand up. And so I'm going to say it publicly, you guys. He gets half the royalties if we split up. And so that's Nashville rules actually. I heard that in I don't live in Nashville. I've never set foot in Nashville, but I know that the rules in Nashville are if you're in the room when the song is being written, it's evenly split by. And if you're just like filling up your water cup or something. Can I just get in there? Get in there real quick. The Coen brothers are writing something. And then there's the opposite, which I'm sure he's I'm painting him to be more villainous than he is, but it's a good lesson of, you know, it's never enough for people, but I heard recently that Paul McCartney is trying to legally get some of The Beatles catalog changed from Lennon McCartney to McCartney Lennon. And doesn't that show that just it's never enough. It's never billionaire. He's dead. He's been dead for 30 years. You're doing what? You're fighting a corpse. And you're not living check to check. So seriously, this can't possibly matter. Does he have 900 children that he's trying to make all billionaires? Like it's so weird. Only then. Only then will I allow this? Only then will I allow it? And I'm sure it's also his team or something doing it or things like that. But for the sake of the story, it's nice to paint it this man still does not have enough. It's always nice to paint the villainous billionaire. Even though I am going to write that book about two billionaires who fall in love. And become better people because of it. Not good people, just better people. Right, I don't know. Oh no, it's gonna be based on Elon Musk and J. K. Rowling. So it's interesting. And tab a slot a that's it. They're both in their 50s. So it's not going to be that exciting of a book.

"The rockstar is back. He's like, he's like, he's performing. This is what he does. And you do get a sense of sometimes he's in the room but not always fully in the room, which is, you know, just like another interesting dynamic and we're not going to touch that third rail yet. But even their small moments, and I think they're writing I mean, there's a great point when they're figuring out some of the lyrics of get back. And, you know, the way that John and Paul are interacting and John's just like tossing off lyrics that go in like, you know, he's like tossing off her breakfast order or something. And the funny bit about the Tucson, Arizona line and then John being like, is Tucson in Arizona. I mean, it's just a great banter and you see the way that they kind of improved each other. And then I believe they're dueting on two of us and figuring out the harmonies and it's like 5 minutes before George quits the band. And even the way that the angle of the camera is shot, you are watching like you see the storied Lennon McCartney like transcend in. It's not romantic, but they are on another level. They are like mind melded. It's very inspiring and then George is just like in the side of the frame. So pissed off at everybody and not even in a, I mean, I don't think he likes that song very much, but it's just the third wheel, the little brother, can't quite fit into this thing that is ultimately what animated The Beatles. And you do see them Paul and John kind of get it together at certain points throughout. And it's like it's really inspiring. And also a reminder of just like you can't totally manufacture these things, like sometimes, like, kids might really happen. Yeah, there are alchemy is historic. It is historic in the history of recorded music. And that song, the title of that song, the message of that. Totally. Being so perfectly representative of John or excuse me George always sort of being somewhat on the outside looking in and looking up and being the youngest and being the one who is lucky to get two songs on an album and being dominated by this duo. But you're right, you know, the story of Paul and John is so complex and in the last 20 years or so, it feels like Paul has taken great pains to clarify the profundity of their friendship and their partnership. But in the 70s, John in particular got very sharp elbowed about Paul and they went back and forth at each other, and so there was this perception that there was just a bad blood between them or something or the way that things had gone. This movie I wouldn't say necessarily like upends all of that, but it shows in the full light of day, what was so special between them and how, you know, when you have a friend that you've known for a decade or two decades. The way that these guys knew each other since they were 1516 years old, 14 years old..

Which is it food is that happiness is music. What is it in my case. More than anything it was. It was the freedom to play music. And that's how. I felt in those in those years in the van. So scream broke up and you were stranded in los angeles for while living really in dire. Poverty just went even show where you your next meal was coming from. And then you heard that a seattle band navonna was looking for a drama. They'd released their first album bleach. That point but what did you know of them at that point five. Oh yeah. The bleach album was really popular in the underground. And i mean that being said that meant maybe they sold twenty thousand copies or thirty thousand copies or something but nirvana really stood out from all the other bands in the scene. They were kind of like a punk rock band but sort of like sort of like a heavier not metal band. But it was like really. It's eventually what people called grunge but at the time it was like you know they had the sound that was just different than everyone else and i mean they had songs. That was the thing that's on about. A girl is in the middle of that album. Bleach an album filled with huge guitars. Huge drums and dissonant crazy. Noisy distortion and then right in the middle of the song called about a girl that sounds like it could have been a lennon mccartney composition and you think oh my god we. They have songs so they were popular in the underground. You know and i and i loved that record and we had a mutual friend so when we were stuck in los angeles i called my friend. Who's also in a band and said. Hey we're still here. The band's not not happening right now so if you come to los angeles Let's hang out and that's what my friend said. Well have you heard of nirvana. And instead of course he said They're looking for a drummer and they had just come to a scream show. Maybe a few weeks before. And i think they saw the way that i played the drums and said you know if we can get a guy like facts we be good to go and so gave me christmas his phone number to call them. We had a great conversation. I actually i called me. He said well. We already gone a drummer and said okay. Well if you come down to la. I'm stuck in hostile the my wrestlers. Just come out. And you're not exaggerating. You were actually stuck in a house restless at the time. that's right. I mean when. I say stuck singer in the guitar player of our van. Scream brothers and their sister was mud wrestler. The hollywood dr king so we always had to say it could be worse right so no food. But he's so. I talked to know so much and then he said you know you should. You should call kurt and then talked and he said well if you can come up to seattle and let's jam and so i did so you moved in with could combine in his little house in olympia just outside of seattle. He had the bedroom. You right while you had the couch in the living room. Tell me about your roommate in the terrarium exterior turtle. Listen i am an animal lover but damn that turtle man that thing every which just like bang its head against the glass as i'm trying to sleep on the couch and it was just like on. Most people would like go running and screaming way bus station mega hunt but at the end of every day mean chris.

"A lot of that with with entertainers. Not just musicians kevin pollak it ahead your writers. Are you name yeah. 'cause kevin pollock did a whole documentary where he talked to comedians about the there need to be loved and in is you know and the the pain of that in the drive if they've had And i think that's in a lot of ways the crew. There is a lot of pain. You pay for creative and that sounds like a cliche. But i think there's a reason why it's cliche. Don't you think can absolutely You know that that's true. It is a shame but there's about art and and trauma yes absolutely. I mean look so. Many of our greatest artists are are trying to right themselves out of a problem. They'll never saw you know. The world of literature is ashley. Oct- with those You know it's cetera. it's It's it's one of the great truisms it's a cliche but it's also a truism right About that world so I think we can see that. You know so then you ask yourself what is right. What is a guy like george harrison. Trying to right himself out when he has so much So much working for him right in terms of upbringing and he doesn't seem to have any psychological trauma and yet he writes these songs that are so affecting and when you when you look at his story well it's right there in his early twenties right. He's the biggest band of all time. And you know the biggest band of all time and and yet. He's the third banana right to the two biggest bananas. In the history of songwriting certainly commercial popular saad righted. What oh what a place. What a world you know. That's going on so yeah. There is a documentary on the eagles. And they talked about that. When you don henley and glenn fry singing lead that it was hard to get another like you weren't going to give lead to couple the other like mandy meister and had some and others because you've got to such strong. You know lead vocalist. You've got harass. You know you've got harrison but you know you've got lennon mccartney which many people would rank as among the greatest songwriters of all times right in no matter what genre much less rock and roll and you share a little bit about that. Early georgia's songwriting. Problem wasn't up to their level but he was trying and getting better and later it showed he did have that muse. Similar today ours isn't it..
Drum History
"lennon mccartney" Discussed on Drum History
"Those bands are kind of not neither but maybe one or two people are sort of the main writer. So that'd be like the rolling stones where most of the songs are making keith. Or you see them listed as writers term Or the beatles. Lennon mccartney in the occasional harrison song that'd be strictly him yeah And so. I say all bands in the fall summer on that spectrum and you got to find out where you were you said as a band. Yeah that's that's also like what we're talking about this for this like this scenario right now is also kind of like an internal struggle for copyright versus external is like Someone else using a beat. That sounds kind of like you. I mean but it's like you. They raises the question of like well. You can't copyright like the two four money. Beat like billie jean. You know you like. It's just such an interesting thing as well. Then there wouldn't be anything music would stop because you can't use that beat anymore. I don't mean music would actually stop. But like you'd be kind of you'd run out of how many variations can you do. It's like you you kinda need to be able to use those and then you can't really pick and choose and go. Oh okay well You can use this beat but you can't use that because it's a little more creative like say come together or something you know by the beatles. That's more tom oriented. But like i guess you can't really pick and choose you know well and that's and that's a that's a great point. That's the question i guess. Can you can you differentiate just your standard you know four on the floor beat versus when the levee breaks will a. I mean you're right at the end of the day. We don't want every drumbeat to be copyrighted because then people would start making music because they'd be worried they'd get sued and there'd be no new ideas left out there Except except crazy you know jazz. Seven four singer beats Some people can't dance too. But but that's a good question. Because i would say you know you can't. You can't copyright just like g. c. Cd on the guitar. But if you do that with a bunch of other and then sing amalia to it. You can cop right at right. it's awesome. It becomes well whatever the song aggression. Maybe there could be differentiation. But maybe we don't want it. But i guess what i'm saying is your standard four on the floor. Drumbeat is. I think it could be differentiated from again when the levee breaks or the beat on sunday bloody sunday or whatever but yeah at the end the day you're right maybe at this is a balanced copyright plays and insane with not just drums with with any instrument. It's like you want there to make sure people don't if you write a great song you wanna be paid for it because otherwise Steal it But you don't want to be too restrictive that it it. Sorta hinders creativity. So yeah i guess yeah for me drumming drawings interesting because i think there is some situations like that like the beat is so iconic that maybe there should be protection that i don't know. Yeah it's it's an interesting thing now. Why don't we go backwards. A little bit here and talk about some history stuff. We've obviously named some classic examples where you know. I think people know this now. Where if i could include audio examples. But the the whole..

And it's not because she wants a lot of attention 'cause she's a genius and can't stop writing. She's like lennon mccartney levels genius. And anyone who wants to argue about. And i'm a huge beatles. Fan grew up with the beatles. Taylor swift doing to argue for deals with being the one of the greatest artists of all time. Not possibly i would say the best artist of all time. best songwriter. Best performer best to her fans morning. So much from her studying her of how to connect with your fans. Because i'm like why. Do i feel like this person's my sister and i don't know her because she is done the work she's been calculated. She make her fans feel loves in a real genuine way. She knows she knows that. It's all about the fans. But i like now my tour like i wanna make it like a taylor swift concert. I want my fans to lake. It will be the entire time and lip synching it. I wanted dancing.

"You know, it's impossible to know what is real anymore. I'm finding Did you get all there's so much hype about everything right? Like a few weeks ago that the little nods X video. Oh, yeah, People are angry and you know he was driving around with the devil there, Whatever. I didn't actually see the video, And then there was blood on the shoes. And then Nike said those aren't you can't use our whole thing. It was like Montero video. It was all over. It was like he was the biggest thing in the world. And then we get a lot of hype about SNL. Speaks for the generation, you know, and I get the sense that I don't watch it SNL that much. Uh, but there's somewhat woke. Don't you think? Little bit. Got me a little kiss? We've got to get that generation, right. You're gonna stay on the air that long. You gotta get 25 year olds to watch the show. So we would think so. SNL is the voice of the generation. Just a few weeks ago. Little Nah, Jax. You couldn't You could not not see headlines about what was going on with the video and the shoe thing and the biggest story. Much bigger than when he did Panini. Which, by the way is my favorite little music so much underrated. Don't be such a meanie. Yeah, I mean, who that's genius? That's you know, Bob Dylan just turned 80. What's good to know We got a youngster. Who said write fulfilling that, you know, don't be a meanie something something panini. Don't be a meeting. Give me my panini, so SNL voice of generational Nas ex biggest thing in the world. SNL finale with rapper Lil Naz Ax Ties for lowest ratings of season So what we're told constantly had this hype about what is going on and what everybody believes in what everybody thinks and what everybody likes. And then when you get down to it The audience doesn't show up for so much of this stuff that otherwise we are hyped to believe that we're all in on. So it's an odd thing. I saw story I couldn't find here. That BTS the headless mannequins. That was the first night Yeah. Just be called the Harris Manikins whenever I believe they were in Athens Band. Yeah, when they were just a little little grungy Prodigy started the Georgia Theater. I believe so And then they went over to South Korea became part of the whole what he called that K pop and the biggest things in the world. This is what I'm told. In the biggest things in the world. I saw story. It's said that they had some new song and it was Spotify is whatever it is Ilyin plays. And then about five hours later, the updated the story on Spotify removed 10 million of those because it turned out that they weren't real. Like the hype on things. Is based on so many Like nameless, faceless bots, and just like there's a whole way of creating hype around something now. But He used to talk about show business in the sense of you gotta put butts in the seats. That was the whole idea of entertainment. You got to put butts in the seats and that used to be the standard. You know, you look around the theater is the place full. Okay, It's a hit, they would be reported that way. Now there's all this hype about who we are and what we think and what we're all in on. And then it comes time to put butts in the seats in the theaters half empty all the time. And it just makes you think it just wouldn't you think Little Nose X is the biggest damn thing in the world right now. Huge. I'm based on him being there alone. Shouldn't they have not tied the lowest ratings of the season? He's a gentle It's about consumption and like how it's done. You know the way that people are consuming things has changed. Well, yeah, but I think that at this point when we're this far, I think that at some point there is a number that includes like a 48 hours after they give you the way they do ratings now television ratings. You have your initial rating and that's television. And then they have that they updated like 48 hours later. And they'll they'll include people who watched it online and then SNL is all chunked up. You know, you could go watch one sketch, but maybe people who are interested in low Naz X and have download, you know, and like you're saying Spotify or Amazon music is showing a lot of plays, and that it's very popular. Maybe the people that are into that don't then search it out on Okay, There's that and also, maybe those numbers on Spotify aren't real. As I just said, would be that there's asked the things you just can't. You can't figure out what's What's actually popular? Nothing is real. Look at that. The ring goes right. That one. He was my favorite. Probably. He wrote a lot of the stuff behind the scene. He was my favorite know that no doubt that I think we all agree Ringo was the heart and soul of the Beatles. Absolutely. So I just assumed and he saw I assume Ringo was the one who Who wrote it. Lennon McCartney Child's play. Yeah, well, they were lucky. Then I'm a tours. They're lucky they had recurring. They leaned on Pete Best for awhile. And then Ringo. All right, people, we know that we've lost half the audience. If only Rico would do a co lab with Little Naz X. Then we wouldn't want then we will make love actually have the lowest of the lowest ratings. On any banana. It's just It's just interesting to me that we just don't know what is actually popular. And what isn't anymore. It's all everything is so agenda while the Spotify stuff I'm a few weeks ago, I brought attention to the article that we had some audio of a pitch meeting. Remember with, you know the guy. Basically, they just go in the the people who know how it's not Spotify itself. But it's the people like the record companies. They hire Third party companies who come in and their pitches..
Data Skeptic
Authorship Attribution of Lennon McCartney Songs
"Mark Glickman and I'm at Harvard University as a senior lecturer in statistics, statistics is a topic that the audience really loves hearing about before we get into the main topic. Can you give us a little bit of background on the areas of stats that you studied or maybe those that interest you the most? Yeah, well. What got me into statistics in the first place? Actually was my interest in the Game Chess I've always been interested in how chess players get rated when they play in tournaments in other. Other words when you go to a tournament, you get a numerical rating. Where if you have two players have ratings, you could actually determine the profitability that player defeats at other, and that was something that I was always interested in these chess rating systems, and I ended up getting really into statistics and the mathematical aspects of these kinds of systems and I developed a couple systems that are in use these days, especially in online gaming called the Licko system. So that's really got me into statistics in. In, the first place and I really have a passion for teaching, so that's a big part of my statistics life, and then much more recently got into the intersection between statistics and music, and this Beatles authorship attribution project is one of the bits of work also got involved with a student who is really the primary driver of this work on basically how to use statistically generates music that sounds like Corrales, and so we have a paper. That's GonNa, be coming very shortly in that area so. So, yes, a music's become a much bigger focus in my statistics like these days. Is there anything obviously interest could drive it but I'm curious if there's any computational component to it may be the availability of computers to run big simulations, and that sort of thing has that influenced the ability to ask interesting questions along these lines? Yeah, generally it helps I. mean I tend not to gravitate to problems which can only be solved by having the appropriate hardware to be able to crank through the data? Having access to good computing definitely makes a big difference I think we can take for granted that any listener must be aware of the Beatles and their influence on music. Regardless of what they like should they could a few, but tell us a little bit more background for those that don't know the discography. What were the types of problems you were looking to? To approach this whole project essentially started when I met my main collaborator for this project Jason Brown. When the two of US happened to be at this conference in Prince, Edward Island! We just happened to be talking. After I gave a talk some material. Actually that's related to rating systems for chess players, and we just happened to stumble on our mutual interest. Interest in music, and in the Beatles, and he was telling me that he had gained a little bit of infamy about fifteen years ago, where he used essentially a forty-eight analysis, decomposing the sounds from the starting court of a hard day's night to figure out the actual instrumentation of the cord, because that really been something that was in pretty serious dispute so. So he published a little article audit and got him some attention, and he was telling me since then one of the things that he was particularly interested in was being able to represent Sohn's particularly Beatles songs in particular format in his area of math, which is graph theories, essentially representing music in the form of essentially graphs or networks and he wanted to. Be Able to use it to be able to distinguish authorship of different Beatles songs like maybe there'd be stylistic differences that would be evident in these representations, anyone really making a lot of headway and whole problem of being able to sing wish authorship is something that's much more firmly in the wheelhouse of a statistician, so I told him it sounds like he probably something I would want to be heavily involved in and so we ended up starting this collaboration, and that was kind of started it all, so we tried lots of different sorts of things. Things to take the music and be able to figure out. How can you predict authorship from musical features, and that's essentially what led us down the path to the work that eventually got published so from my perspective, wearing my data scientist hat, I would say you have a fixed data set that is partially labeled. Does that feel like the right framing for you? The main question of interest really and just to take a step back is that there are a handful of songs by the Beatles and again there's nothing about this problem that has to. To be specific to be spent for our interests there handful songs by the Beatles that or of disputed authorship, and so the idea is that you start off with a data set where the labels which is to say the authorship of Lennon McCartney songs is known that's known because the Beatles Bayside interviews in various information that's been gathered over the years is of note authorship, so we have a data set where the labels are no, and then in addition to that we have for all of those songs. We have a whole bunch of features A. A whole bunch of information about various musical aspects of the songs and idea is to form a statistical model that uses those features to predict the labels, and then once you establish that relationship then you apply to the songs of disputed authorship to see the predictions going to be based on that relationship, so for non composers who might be listening? Perhaps they could be intimidated by this problem. Saying music is all about creativity and unpredictability in these sorts of things. Is this truly assault problem from that point of view well? Yes, solvable a loaded word. I mean we certainly made our best attempt by Best Ibiza? After making lots of attempts that were not terribly predictive, we finally stumbled on said features and a statistical approach that seems to do a pretty reasonable job. Making predictions, the simple answer I suppose is yes, it's possible at solvable in the sense that there is information that you can extract. That is predictive of other ships. I could be pretty. Pretty concrete about this one thing that we knew before going into this work, and this is something that has been well known by musicologists studying. Beatles, music, which is that Paul? McCartney songs in particular tend to have melodies that tend to move around a lot like Paul McCartney, had a musical vocal range, fairly wide and part of that tended to be reflected in his moving melody by contrast John Lennon. had a reasonable vocal range tended to write melodies that didn't move around very much like he used a lot of repeated notes, or the vocal movements would stay very close and pitch, and that's characteristic of a lot of John Lennon songs, and so we knew even going into the problem that you know. musicologists have identified differences in the way that each of these songwriters would write music, so we knew that there were features that could be quantified and picked up. Up and used as distinguish irs in these classification models.
