Robert Henke (co-creator of Ableton Live, member of Monolake, writer, lecturer and installation artist) just put up an article on his blog explaining why he longer want to share knowledge about his cutting edge laser control software online, freely and generously, like he used to:

"Not because I am afraid of humans. I am afraid of machines. I don't want all my expertise and experience to become material for AI. I do not want to enable simple reverse engineering of a decade of work. Every description of functionality and concept of my engine is potentially a data point."

"This is a cultural loss, but inevitable."

Pink Floyd, 1969, with every piece of their gear laid out on a taxiway at Biggin Hill airfield south of London.

Rick Wright and Roger Waters stand at the front, with David Gilmour and Nick Mason behind the drum kit. Behind them: the amps, the speaker stacks, the gongs, the guitars and the tour van, arranged in a big triangle.

The idea came from Nick Mason, who wanted it to look like the exploded diagrams of military aircraft and their payloads that were popular at the time. The same layout, shot with roadies Alan Styles and Peter Watts standing in for the band, became the back cover of Ummagumma, the double album released in the fall of 1969.

Years later, Mason joked that people used to look at the back of that sleeve and think "Wow," but now it looks like more or less a home stereo.

Sadly, much of this gear was stolen after a show at The Warehouse in New Orleans in May 1970.

🎸 Rank these Floyd records from 1969 and 1970: Ummagumma, More, Atom Heart Mother. 🎸

55 years ago today, on November 8, 1971, Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album came out in the US, the record we all know as Led Zeppelin IV. The UK release followed on November 19.

Much of it was recorded at Headley Grange, an old house in Hampshire, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, with more work at Island Studios in London. The band left their name and the title off the sleeve entirely. The only clue was four symbols, one chosen by each member.

The eight songs became rock radio's backbone: "Black Dog," "Rock and Roll," "The Battle of Evermore," "Stairway to Heaven," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Four Sticks," "Going to California" and "When the Levee Breaks."

It hit No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US, has sold more than 37 million copies worldwide, and is certified 24x platinum in the US, double diamond.

🎈 Led Zeppelin IV is certified 24x platinum in the US, the band's biggest seller. What's your favorite track on Led Zeppelin IV? 🎈
