This was a difficult concept to understand at first, but I think I may have found a "translation" of the idea that made more sense to me. An analogy that I believed help me understand in my terminology, was that the artist can be compared to the cosmos, and the songs to the planets. The artist is continually creating, similar to the cosmos, and the songs, are like planets, with no one being exactly the same. Just as the same song may be played again and again at different concerts, but each time they are played they are not the same, that is similar how no one planet is like the other. The bigger picture that I believe Ratliff was trying to get across is that you can not just look at one song, or album, to fully embrace the concept of endless inventory as a whole. This is the same thing when looking at the cosmos. ]]> 2017-10-29 18:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201516848 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201518100 "If you are looking at one small part of it -- if you favor a particular song -- you are missing the point" (Ratliff, 2016]]> 2017-10-29 18:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201518100 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201518632 "The point is a larger array of music than the eye can see on the shelf, than the ear can take in within one cycle of memory" (Ratliff, 2016)]]> 2017-10-29 18:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201518632 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201518741 "It doesn't reduce to a song or an album.

We want to collect days: we take pictures, we keep diaries, we text and tweet the world in order to mark our place in one of them. This is how some of us love the long song of the Grateful Dead, particularly "Dark Star" which seems to be a microcosm of the longer performances" (Ratliff, 2016) ]]> 2017-10-29 18:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201519158 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201519742 This shows endless inventory because of two reasons. First off,  in order to fully embrace the artist you have to look at the progression over the years as a whole, and secondly none of the creations could ever be the same, even when playing the same song over and over live again. ]]> 2017-10-29 18:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201519742 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201519817 This shows the "endless inventory" of the creations of Travis Barker, one of my top five drummers. ]]> 2017-10-29 18:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/gptlejmte1b1/wish/201519817
