    Once TED became the laughing stock for their coddling interviews of Elon Musk they competed the pivot into obscurity with this pile. What’s next? how to apply purple eye-shadow while high on crack?

    When a science platform first goes woke (and oh boy did it go woke!) and then forgets what made it great. The music is not bad but I’m into science, not this. UNSUBSCRIBE

    Whoa, this comment section is toxic. What a pathetic level of pretentiousness people have sometimes.

    Wow! Needed to hear this today. Thank you for sharing your story, your voice, your rally cry for us all. You are definitely an inspiration to me. The opening song’s inspiration feels like it came from Brene Brown’s work from her own experience with online trolls like the ones popping up here. LOVE IT!! LOL, clearly these “scientists” commenting missed the mark. Go light up the world Gina Chavez. You are a dragon!

    Bro wtf is this? This aint no damn Ted talk, Unsubscribed. Ted talk has turned away from sharing valuable information to broadcasting things that are simply just entertainment for the political crowd.

Watch him break down the idea into its three parts — melody, rhythm and harmony — with nothing but his own voice, a grand piano and Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” Turns out life,…

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
