"I know, I know, we're supposed to have sympathy for the mentally ill. But we're also supposed to recognize psychiatric problems and steer the person to treatment, we did not do that, we stood by idly as this inane insane man whipsawed through our media until he blew himself up.
I, for one, have little sympathy.
I could commit heresy and say he's just not that talented."

In a world where even the NFL’s ratings are taking a hit, where vaunted TV shows don’t crack double digit millions in viewers, the truth is attention is scattered and you just can’t gain it.
Now you can rebel against this, to no effect. This is what the oldster musicians have been doing for a decade and a half. Their main message is who let the dogs out?
who, indeed, let the dogs out?

i'm not an expert but taylor swift is still really, really popular and successful right?
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link
yeah
and album sales-wise, Adele's "25" outsold it?
idk, I guess being a top selling musical artist internationally isn't enough because you're doing it wrong and didn't sell as many copies as Bob imagines you're supposed to
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link
outsold Taylor Swift's last album, I mean
who knows who streamed more? not me. probably not Adele, because she didn't let people stream her album. Taylor Swift let people stream her album, but maybe the wrong people?
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:05 (seven years ago) link
sorry my post was confusing he has grudges against both for different (or the same?) reasons, but anyway yes one thing that's pretty clear is the adele and taylor swift have really mismanaged their careers as evidenced by their quick fall into having to busk in the subway for spare change
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 20:08 (seven years ago) link
that'd at least carry some credibility. instead, they're up there making money the wrong way. the wrong money.

"We used to stop and listen to subway buskers, now we're too busy looking at pdfs on our Blackberries to even look up...wanna be a busker? good luck, because there's a better and more talented busker and every stop -- and they aren't looking for spare change - they want exposure, just like everyone else. The music business used to be about LISTEN TO THIS now its about LOOK AT ME and today's listeners have more things to look at then ever"

i thought that was satire, riffing off the previous post. then i went to the original column and saw it was in fact there in all of its very public reverie. then i kept reading. i want in on that class-action lawsuit. i'm already losing weight and feeling lethargic and lost.

Max Martin, you're the only one who can save us, along with a bunch of other expats, foreigners like DJ Snake and Mark Ronson, the people who make the hits, you're under the spotlight, you've got to write the track.All you wannabes looking for publicity, we don't need you. Unless you're gonna do cover versions of the hit track. We need the people who make the Spotify Top 50, because they've got the greatest reach, they're the ones people are truly listening to.

Kid Rock and Ted Nugent are lining up, paragons of the past, do you see them anywhere on the Spotify Top 50, nowhere close, and you’ll probably get a couple of country acts too, brain dead singers of others’ songs who oftentimes are racist underneath it all, then again, some of the biggest country acts rap, isn’t that confounding, hell, Florida Georgia Line made massive hits integrating the urban sound, even Luke Bryan does it too, what’s up?

That’s when Wham! first resonated for me. I woke up after the first night with my ex-wife and “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” was playing on the MTV. When that channel defined the culture, with a power not seen since. We Americans were still trying to figure out the transition from classic rock. We thought we killed disco, but we did not know what came next. Then the Brits came along and stole our lunch, not only Soft Cell and Human League, but Culture Club and George Michael. The sensibility was different. It was not about being coolly attached to what once was, but throwing out the baby with the bathwater and starting anew. Pop was no longer a dirty word. Synthesizers were as important as guitars. Limits were being tested and the acts seemed to be having so much fun, we found them irresistible.

Debbie Reynolds RIP
First of all, there's touch. And sex. After all, we're animals. Try and hug someone every day, not in a perfunctory way, but in a style more conscious, like life is hard but at least you have each other. My parents never touched me growing up, could be a fifties thing, I don't know, and I struggle with flesh on flesh, but I do know when done right touch roots me, and you.
