HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME:
[ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
If you’re like me and like reading books about popular music, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one than “The Song Machine.” It’s a pretty deep dive into how all the Swedish song writers/producers/geniuses (like Max Martin, see above for his work) build hit after hit after hit, almost Terminator-like in their efficiently cold way. I suspect the author wanted to disgust the reader by pointing out how antiseptic the whole process is, as well as detailing how and why so many people are needed to write just one song. But for me, it had the opposite effect. I was completely blown away at the quality of work despite all the egos involved. Anyway, it’s a fascinating read if you’re into that sorta thing.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
