Infinite Tuesday : an autobiographical riff / by Nesmith, Michael,author.(CARDINAL)339416;

"Michael Nesmith's eclectic, electric life spans his star-making role on The Monkees, his invention of the music video, and his critical contributions to movies, comedy, and the world of virtual reality. Above all, his is a seeker's story, a pilgrimage in search of a set of principles to live by. That search took Nesmith from a childhood in Dallas, where his single mother Bette invented Liquid Paper, to the set of The Monkees in Los Angeles; to the heart of swinging London with John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix; and to an unexpected oasis of brilliance in the Santa Fe desert, where his friendships with Douglas Adams and Los Alamos scientists would point him toward the power of the infinite and the endless possibilities of human connection. This funny, thoughtful, self-aware book is a window onto an unexpected life, inflected at every turn by the surprising candor and absurdist humor of an American original. Opening Infinite Tuesday is like stepping into the world of Michael Nesmith, where something curious is always unfolding, and where riffs on everything from bands to dogs to the nature of reality make for an endlessly engaging journey."--Jacket.

The frequency of living things [sound recording] : a novel/ by Fuller Googins, Nick,author.(CARDINAL)872962; Young, Suehyla El-Attar,narrator.;

Read by Suehyla El-Attar Young."Josie may be the youngest sister, but she takes care of everyone. She is the left-brained scientist to her twin sisters' right-brained artistic chaos. She makes sure their rent gets paid on time, they make their therapy appointments, and has also been their de-facto band manager since she was a teenager. When Ara, her middle sister (by a few minutes), calls from jail, it isn't exactly a surprise, and Josie knows exactly how to snap into action. Emma is the quintessential frontwoman, complete with looks and attitude. But the success of The Twins' first (and only) album--gold records, Grammy nominations, and diehard fans--is two decades behind her. Hiding under the surface of her swagger is a long-held guilt that has turned her into her sister's enabler. Emma knows she needs Ara's creative genius and thinks a jailhouse record could be just the thing to get Ara her freedom and their band back on the main stage. Ara is detoxing, not only from her opioid habit but also from her family. The truth is, as crazy as it sounds, she's not in a hurry to get out of lock-up. In the most unlikely and dangerous of places, this could be her chance to face the demons of her past and disentangle herself from her family. Bertie, who raised her three daughters as a single mother, has always taught them that family won't always be around to take care of you. A former defense attorney and perennial do-gooder, she's committed to taking care of everyone less fortunate even if that means putting her girls' needs second. But now Bertie must decide if she should reenter her daughters' lives in their greatest time of need--or watch to see if the resilience she's taught them will help carry them through." -- Provided by publisher.

Computing taste : algorithms and the makers of music recommendation / by Seaver, Nick,1985-author.(CARDINAL)867480;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-196) and index.Prologue. Open Plan -- Introduction. Technology with Humanity -- Too Much Music -- Captivating Algorithms -- What Are Listeners Like? -- Hearing and Counting -- Space Is the Place -- Parks and Recommendation -- Epilogue. What Are We Really Doing Here?"For the people who make them, music recommender systems hold a utopian promise: they can broaden listeners' horizons and help obscure musicians find audiences, taking advantage of the enormous catalogs offered by companies like Spotify, Apple Music, and their kin. But for critics, recommender systems have come to epitomize the potential harms of algorithms: they seem to reduce expressive culture to numbers, they normalize ever-broadening data collection, and they profile their users for commercial ends, tearing the social fabric into isolated patches of atomized individuals. Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork, anthropologist Nick Seaver offers an account of how the makers of music recommendation navigate these tensions: how product managers understand their relationship with the users they want to help and to capture, how engineers imagine the abstract geography of the "world of music" as a space they control and care for, how scientists conceive of listening itself as a kind of data processing. The book rehumanizes the algorithmic systems that shape our world, foregrounding the ideas animating the people who build and maintain them. Seaver braids together the thinking of programmers and anthropologists, opening up the cultural world of computation in a vividly theorized book that ranges widely from cosmology to calculation, metaphor to myth, and captivation to care"--
