The Summer of Kristy

[Kristy]

See what happens when you take drugs all summer. Forgot my theme song - maybe so due to the fact Paul Weller is a total fucking asshole.



Welcome to the "most exclusive club' of limey retards, indeed.

Where is Bg Train anyways... :D

There really is no music industry as we knew it. Sure people will still make music and perform it but it will be smaller scale. Without a big promotion machine the big money is just not going to be there neither will there be the Incentive for people to try and make it. The volume you would have to sell streaming to make any real money is huge. One argument is you can reach more people online worldwide but how are they going to know about you without any marketing or promotion? What the labels and media provided was the marketing and promotion.

I don't everything but the fundamentals are still there and fucking good riddance anyways to the old "music industry". They raped artists repeatedly and really the same denominator is that the real money is in the touring and not in making albums. The money only sparingly went to big acts anyway. But I could give a fuck about Don Henley's retirement fund at this point. Look at that Uncle Milty's nephew cunt that totally fucked Van Halen on their first contract. Really not sad if fucking dicks like that dont have a job anymore...

Clinton's bill also allowed the consolidation of the record industry. Once it was under 5 conglomerates, they didn't sign anybody who wasn't a Disney bubblegum singer, cookie cutter rap posers, or right wing propaganda "country" singers.

The greedy pig bastards at the record labels may well blame Apple for itunes or Napster, and later on they would blame it on Pandora or Spotify, but the bottom line is.... you can't expect to sell records, if you aren't releasing anything worth buying.

The disposable corporate music lends itself to the iTunes model, because even the people dumb enough to pay for this shitty music in a lossy mp3 format will only pay for the one song that would have previously been released as a "single".

Summer of masturbating to K-Pop girls. (Or dudes for Von)...

[Kristy]

You're one to speak, Kirsten.

Jack Webb and Mel Torme is "edgy"?

Apparently YOU think so, Hagatha.

[Kristy]

The only thing here that is old is you, grandpa. You have a homoerotic fixation on a irrelevant rock star from 40 years ago Why so bitter? Did AARP cancel your bingo night?

[Mushroom]

Jack Webb and Mel Torme is "edgy"?

I didn't say they were edgy. You read in haste after that last bong hit. You're listening to old hag music.

[Kristy]

There's a reason why you don't... most of that music is shit. Kristy is tryin to be edgy forcin herself to listen to mediocre music (she doesn't know that).

[Fairwrning]

Not surprising when you live chronically in 1984.

That's 78-84 around here, mister.

[Mushroom]

Think I recognized at least one song in that long list....

Clinton killed radio, Apple killed music in 2001

[FORD]

That's ridiculous. 1996 maybe. Not 1984.

Music - like all other forms of media - was seriously damaged by Bill Clinton's ridiculous Telecommunications Act of 1996. And there's been very few bands worth talking about since then.

Except for 3rd Secret. They're alright.
