Part 2 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we discuss quarantine life. Show notes: - Recorded recently via Skype - What's the first thing you'd do post-COVID? - All the big movies got pushed back to later in the year or 2021 - Some movies are going straight to streaming - When will we feel comfortable at crowded concerts again? - If touring slows down, how will musicians survive? - Artists may have to go directly to fans for support - Lou Barlow started a subscription service - Artists have done similar things for years: Rundgren, Prince - Might see more music made by artists stuck at home - Suddenly we have a lot of time to listen to records - Jay: Daughter's into the Beatles now - When you know songs you hate by heart - Appreciating '70s-era McCartney - Bad production really stands out on mix playlists - Does anyone remember dynamics? - Self-improvement activities to catch up on - Brian: No time to do any of it so far - Jay: Want to alphabetize my records - No guilty pleasures: Making peace with disco - Brian: Need to organize music room - Jay: Hope to pick up the old guitar - Bill Rieflin, R.I.P.
