Welcome to Thunderdome

I've used YouTube music, Pandora, and Spotify. TO MY KNOWLEDGE I wouldn't be able to play an entire album in order, unless I bought it first. But then I still have to pay for the streaming service.

Is there a big service that let's you stream and enjoy an entire album, without having to purchase that album first?

Men are so stupid we should almost be declared a protected retard class.

What's dumb is.... For example, there are at least 100 groups out there dedicated to native Americans. And after the third time I saw a picture of some natives flipping off mount Rushmore, I started blocking them. Three different pictures. And since then, I have blocked about 30 groups of native Ame...

It bombed over the weekend, but I hope it has legs. It's a really good movie.

I think radio play pays way more to the artist than Spotify and Pandora. Probably why radio is ancient and out of fashion, just like the mp3 file format. Everything must be streamed. No one makes money when you play your own physical media.

The story keeps popping up on my facebook feed from 20 different sources. Now it's a battle between peeps who think there was a black samurai (or just think it's healthy if people believe there was one), who are calling the "Ummm, no, he wasn't a samarai" people butthurt white racists. I h...

Well, I mean, yeah. The most successful artist on the planet is selling albums. What fraction of bands are there than what we had in 1989 are releasing albums and getting radio play?

There used to be contracts and record deals, though. A band formed, played the local scene, got discovered. They were paid a shitload for what they had, and a shitload for 3 more albums. If they were smart, they had a good career. Often they were young and dumb and were broke in 18 months. But even ...

I generally ignore this thread, but I don't make fun of it or anything because it's basically a dream journal and I heard those can have value.

But I saw this clip and thought of this thread.

It was way more "found footage" than I expected.

It was ok.

The industry is making a shitload of money, but artists aren't getting paid shit for their streams. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/28/new-law-how-musicians-make-money-streaming These aren’t artists failing to connect with a public; on the contrary, they are releasing widely revie...

FAFSA must have fucked up Ticketmater's payment to lawmakers' kids' college payments.

Ticketmaster sued by the USA as a monopoly.

Saw it.

A worthy inclusion to the franchise.

Begins well before, and ends the morning of Fury Road.

Or, the quality of the food has gone way up and the increase in price is a great deal.

Average car age is now almost 13, as people can't afford new cars in this awesome economy.

I keep reading about various female athletes/teams just forfeiting when faced with competing against a trans opponent. I don't know if it's just propaganda, though. You know how the internet is. The story of the woman's volleyball team that had members hospitalized after getting power-spiked by tran...
