Ouevr: a subscription mail-order music service that sends you an artist's entire discography piece by piece, preserving the original time intervals between releases so that you can experience their career 'in real time'. ex. if you subscribe to Pink Floyd, you'll start off with
'Arnold Layne' (March 10, 2017)'See Emily Play' (June 16, 2017)The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (August 5, 2017)
and so on, and so on, until you finally get to The Endless River on November 7, 2054.
to build up hype and immerse you in the original cultural context, the service will send you vintage press releases and magazine ads in anticipation of major releases, and for added verisimilitude, you'll have the option of picking up the records at a fake record store on their respective 'release dates'.
eventually the service will expand to cover entire time periods, so if you're an '00s kid born in the wrong generation, you can spend the next 10 years receiving all the essential vinyls and cassettes and CDs a typical indie kid would have purchased in the '90s.
if you're not interested in getting physical copies of the albums, you can subscribe to a streaming service that 'unlocks' an artist's output in chronological order, and if you're impatient you can accelerate the process and consume a discography at 5 times or 10 times or 20 times its original duration.
if the business model is successful, it might even cross over into other media, ex. Pynchon's complete works, every issue of Cerebrus, every Mac product the average techie would have bought from 1984 onward, etc.

I can't believe that I never posted any of the songs I've repurposed into ad jingles here (a la 'Gimme gimme Pop Secret'). This morning I transformed 'Sinnerman' into an epic about Cinnamon Toast Crunch ('Oh cinnamon where you gonna run to, oh cinnamon your sugar needs you', etc.). I should probably be shot or something, huh.

seems perverse to say I'm enjoying reading about such grim events, but there it is. It's filling in a lot of gaps in my knowledge about various points - the convoluted Feb/Oct Revolution/WWI period has always been hard for me to wrap my head around, for example. I find myself referring to maps a lot while reading it lol.
