  • I’m not positive, but I may have run into this guy on Spotify. Several months ago I was listening to Spotify and was recommended two songs in a row that sounded very similar, but had very subtle differences in them. For instance, the baseline in one was slightly altered, and the main synthesisor sounded slightly different. But the overall rhythm and melody were more-or-less the same.

    I was able to find 100s of versions of what were essentially the same song with a different title, artist and album art. I made a playlist of them all, but it looks like Spotify removed all but two of the songs I had added:

    Obsidian Sisterhood by Aggaraway

    Konnual by The Sirens

    Edit: just found another one. Beasratis by Olrul










  • A mnemonic is usually a way to memorize the order of a group of hard-to-remember words or phrases. You come up with a set of easy to remember words, or a phrase that starts with the same first letter of the harder to memorize words. For example, Every Good Boy Does Fine is a mnemonic to help people remember the lines on a musical note staff (E, G, B, D, F). For most people, it is easier to remember the phrase “Every Good Boy Does Fine” than to remember E, G, B, D, F so if you can remember the mnemonic, it makes it easier to remember the things that you’re actually trying to remember.

    In the picture, the mnemonic is “Lisa Likes Licking Lettuce Lightly” which is supposed to be used to help someone remember the great Lakes. However, notice how every word in the mnemonic starts with the same letter (L) and is used to memorize the Lakes which also all start with L. This makes the mnemonic pretty useless.

    A proper mnemonic for the lakes would be something like “Super Heros Must Eat Oats” (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, Ontario).
