You should only be allowed to track vocals with an sm7b until you have a platinum song

I love Colin Farrell but The Penguin really is The Sopranos for idiots.

Emily Armstrong… what a voice. It’s like if Chester ate Axl, then had a baby with Bonnie Tyler.

The for you page is now all unsolicited tips on how to be “healthy” or “fit” or “wealthy” given by grifters who haven’t achieved any of those things.

He makes great points. Killing aside.

Maybe. But that’s in the past. Plus you got bigger issues you uncultured yankee swine. You better pick up a rubix cube and put down the Glock you Christian McCaffrey obsessed Neanderthal.

More on H1-B: I've addressed this 18 y ago in The Black Swan: America's edge is in risk taking, not education. Any idiot can have education; you need to learn to fail. The American system has been based on trial and error. Which is why foreigners succeed here not at home.

I did an all-nighter Lynch binge at some local theater in the Paris Suburbs with my bandmates/roommates/best friends in 2005 (I think) and we watched Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Blue Velvet, and Twin Peaks. Top 50 memory of my life. A true Genius, eternal.

Also his Dune rocks.

Well, #CourtofGold is incredible. The yougoslavia episode is a highlight. Imagine if Luka and Jokic were on the same team…

I was disappointed in “Mood Machine” by liz pelly. It only paints Spotify in the same usual negative light, I wish it talked about its qualities for independent artists too. New revenue streams, less gate keeping, good money if you own your masters (3.8k per million stream), etc

Tech conglomerates edge funds and faceless boards are ruining art because they bought everything with their big fat ignorant wallets. This sucks. Musicians, stay independent. There is a good living to be made if you do. Dont take the big upfront check (it’s a shitty loan).

The art of shitting on a piece of art you don’t like is a difficult one. You gotta create art yourself, through your writing, to be able to get away with it. Meet whatever you dislike on the same plane of creation. Serge Daney could do it. And so can Eli. I loled a lot

Whether you like Russ’s music or not is beside the point. His career is an insane achievement. Hard work, talent, smarts, and business acumen. Poster boy for true independence.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Content is the enemy of art

Later we'll find it hard to believe that masked thugs were dragging people off the street at gunpoint. At least I hope we will, since the other alternative would be to decline into the kind of country where that's normal.

Art vs Tech is here. Revolutions always seem like a crazy scenario… Until one day… they happen.
