This is a weird one, but I’m going to say Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. It has the vibe of kids playing on a playground in the 80s and 90s. Like, double Dutch jump rope, neon colors, excited chatter… Pure, innocent joy. It isn’t actually about any of those things, but the way the band uses samples, lots of trumpet (the most triumphant instrument), and the sung/rapped/chanted/cheered vocals really make it feel like that. It’s not experimental though, these are catchy, banger pop songs. One of my favorite albums of all time.
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
True, but the Apple RCS announcement said that they were going to work with the GSM association and google to build it into the base spec
I’m kinda surprised another company hasn’t made something to legit compete with iMessage yet.
There have been more iMessage competitors than I can even count. None have been able to amass enough users to challenge iMessage in the US. RCS is a different approach that has a shot, but even that would require apple to implement it in order to reach ubiquity. Apple has the US messaging market by the balls and it sucks.
I also do this but I can always finish the burger
A lot of telling us how good AI is and how Google is the best at it. I got a little excited when they said Gemini is going to change how we use our phones and I thought they might be announcing some big AI-forward redesign of Android, but it was just 3 things they’ve already launched, haha.
Context aware Gemini looks neat though.
