A year and a half after Jack Dorsey’s non-Twitter venture bought a significant stake in Tidal, I still don’t understand why it makes sense to combine a financial services company with a music service.

65daysofstatic are best-known for the brilliant procedural soundtrack to No Man’s Sky (though you should definitely check out their other work, like 2013’s Wild Light). Now they’re trying to worm their way further into your subconscious with a project called Wreckage Systems.
It’s basically a never-ending stream of industrial electronic music that serves as ideal background noise, especially if you want to feel like you’re in a classic sci-fi movie. “Wreckage Systems is what you will wake up to in the mornings and fall asleep to at night,” the band explains. “It is your digital noise comrade.”
Check out this piece in Wired for more on the project.
I have so many questions about this clip. Why is Tim Cook on stage with Diplo? Why does he look so uncomfortable? Is Diplo actually trying to recreate the Bono finger touch moment? And — most importantly — am I going to wake up tomorrow with a Diplo wallpaper, or “Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 2: Electric Boogaloo” in my Apple Music library?
Apple didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment.
Real ones know — I used to leave iTunes playlists with my favorite artists on loop when I went to class in college to make sure the “right” music got scrobbled.
