On one side, Myles Goodwyn, frontman/signer of April Wine dies.
The Nature of the Beast is still one regular in my musical rotation.
On the other side, Daniel Langlois, Softimage founder and cultural patron in Montréal and his spouse Dominique Marchand , found dead (assassinated) in Dominique, probably from an hotel competitor (he was building a self-sustaining hotel complex).
As a young graduate, I always wanted to work at Softimage, but it never happened.

April Wine had some great songs, sad to hear.

Mine looks and works a lot like Captain Jack Sparrow's.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Probably, but since we're scheduled to enjoy a fairly serious geomagnetic storm today, I wouldn't trust it right now.
Will Rogers never met me.

From that link...
"on the profound influence that music can have on our moral compass."
Perhaps they don't understand cause and effect?
Seems to me more likely that they have it exactly backwards.

Didn't read the article, but I'm guessing someone is still trying to claim heavy metal will make you want to murder your parents and such...?

 I remember those days well!

That can very well be the case even if you don't like heavy metal ...

Heavy metal was just the first thing that came to mind. I might as well have picked reggae. 
It's not the music. If someone decides to go on a killing spree, he's already got a screw loose, and that's what should be examined (for one, what meds was he on? Is that ever asked?) - but it's easier to blame music. And music, unlike Big Pharma, doesn't sponsor the news.
Same with video games. You don't become proficient at using a weapon no matter how many hours you put in using a mouse or Xbox controller.

I don't think we are supposed to discuss current international politics in The Lounge, so let's not pick up that one.

Ted Bundy. Not current at all.
His actions were not caused by porn. That was nonsense peddle by him to the evangelical riding the media wave to promote his own agenda. Bundy was hoping to escape the death penalty. And thus perhaps to escape - again.
But also wasn't caused by the cheerleader catalogs. Which were in the car Bundy was driving when arrested.

I must've missed something on the news, 'cuz I thought we were talking about the claims that some music genres turn people into psychopaths.

Yes, but you have to play the record backwards. Same is true for the Beatles "White Album", I think.

How do you do that today, when you access all your music from a streaming service?
Even with CDs, it takes some effort.
The only way I can think of is to read the music into a sound editor capable of reversing a clip. At least the simple ones do not have that capability. You could of course write your own program (this is, after all, a site for programmers  ) to do it, but then you first have to decode the file from whatever compression format, and, unless you do the compressed-to-wav yourself so you have the file in memory, you will have to learn the details of the .wav format.
It can be arranged, yes it can be arranged.

Good question.
It must prove that digital copies are just an international conspiracy which is attempting to hide the true messages contained in the media.
Makes one wonder though what podcasts played in reverse might say.

If you have a file you can read (and not a stream), Audacity can reverse a clip.
