Soundtrack to a Startup, Track 4: Page One
(This post is the fourth in a series; see also Track 1, Track 2, Track 3)
If you can listen to an entire Lemon Jelly album without breaking into a broad grin at least three times, you’re either completely without an imagination or you’re a member of the RIAA. But I repeat myself.
The core concept of a startup is that something has been brought into being which was not, previously, there. That state of not-being in defines the startup on several levels, and few illustrations of that state are as amusing, viscerally potent, or listenable as Page One, Lemon Jelly’s narrative of the moment just before that most important of startups, the cosmological beginning of time.
At another level, this soundtrack quite simply needed an entry by Lemon Jelly as their entire canon (see, for instance, Space Walk, Ramblin’ Man, and Go) celebrates the urge to go explore the unknown, now. And without this desire, what fun could it possibly be to create a startup?
Please just don’t base a startup on Experiment No. 6.
