Here’s a screenshot of a spreadsheet I made to figure out how much time to add or subject from a sample to hit on the nearest full beat.

A Message from a Weary Traveler
Cat Stevens — On The Road To Find Out [Folk rock] (5:04) – 1970
I was going to post a quote from some new agey mystic,
But it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to say.
What I want to say takes five minutes and four seconds.
Takes some guitar, takes three hundred and eight words
Takes a journey, a pilgrimage, to get to the punchline.
The punchline being:
The answer is right there
Where it’s been all along,
And it takes some of us
Five years on the road
To discover it.
Status: Fixed
Shortlinks working once again.
HOWL: Dedication Allen Ginsberg
To
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Poet
Editor, Publisher and Defender of “Howl”
in gratitude for his comradeship over three decades
Missing all our appointments
and turning up unshaven
years later
old cigarette papers
stuck to our pants
leaves in our hair
