You try to make a name for yourself with half ass opinions based on everyone who is actually trying to do something in music. Yet you do NOTHING but talk. See you on the streets you punk ass mother fucker!!!

And Robert Plant looks like a poof. A weakling who couldn’t get David Bowie in bed.

A marginally talented, ultra-entitled, elitist, quasi-employed dude who mooches off a rich lady? If his letter writing career doesn't pan out, he could always move to Portland or Brooklyn and front an indie rock band.

lefsetz 11 march 2016 on keith emerson:

Take that all you adolescents who believe you deserve attention even though you’ve put more time into trumpeting your efforts on social media than actually practicing your instrument.

lefsetz 14 march 2016 on "getting our attention:"

From day one, you should be collecting e-mail addresses and building up a social media following. This is the first line of aggression

I'll be fine without Lefsetz's attention.

Guy's rambling now:

But it is catchy. And the words are not meaningless. Lukas Graham is beating the oldsters at their own game. He knows it’s the track, not the hype. And that to get people’s attention you’ve got to speak your truth in a way that we can be hooked immediately to the point we want to hear your track again and again.

either rambling or just using the Lefsetz Insta-Column Generator app.

I had a crush on a girl for two years. Back at the turn of the century. She’d send me e-mail, I’d respond and receive nothing in return. Was she just not interested? She was so present, so intimate when we saw each other face to face. I realized she was an inveterate social climber, flawed in more way than one, but when I see her name in my inbox my heart still skips a beat.

breaking news here: inveterate social climbers express their inveterate social climbiness by sending emails to bob lefsetz.

I was just discussing this with my shrink today, I don’t like to compete. If everybody else wants it, I don’t even go after it. If anybody else is interested in her I won’t make a move. I’m inured to losing. The brass ring has eluded me. I don’t feel capable, I don’t feel desirous…but none of this undercuts the twisting, turning feeling eating up my insides.

:(

Oliver's 22 minute take-down of Trump drew 22 million views on YouTube. (https://goo.gl/Jp7SgF ) While we make it ever shorter, more bite-sized, with more hooks, Oliver is taking the viewers on a journey, thrilling them along the way. "Whipping Post," indeed.

this "disruption" post is just a dropped pile of neolib oblique strategies

Enterprise topples when it does its job too well.

Major corporations ran from hip-hop, now they embrace it.

You don’t start outside as a supernova, you evolve there, via trial and error.

Who will sacrifice themselves for the good of today’s music industry?

An individual has incredible power. A scene can be monolithic.

It will happen.

Now the focus is on art.

Can today’s majors fold?

Because it happened before, many times.

Like I said, the forebears will probably get screwed. But when the leader of a new sound breaks down the walls, a lot of players could come through.

Kind of like in EDM.

It’s only a matter of getting started.

And then...

But it will.

That first line in his Springsteen live review that he just posted...

And on my first date with my ex-wife I played “Candy’s Room” at full blast.

Hey Lefsetz, can you talk more about Robin, because she sound interesting...

Feel like Lef is in a bad place right now

You know what brings you back, again and again, to Bob Lefsetz? It's the PASSION. Oh, you can try to stay away. You can subscribe to a million other blogs. You can tell yourself that music's changed, or that you've changed, or that you don't understand anymore. But you know what? It's not that you've got older - it's that your generation has lost touch! They've SOLD OUT. And it's the KIDS on the INTERNET with thei iPods and their Blackberries who are reminding you why you got into this WHOLE CRAZY FUCKING BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's the MUSIC! Oh, you can tell yourself it isn't. BUT IT IS. And if you don't listen, you and every other exec LEECHING off the hindquarters of a MEMORY is going to BITE THE FUCKING DUST!

Women are specialists in this, hating you after loving you, while you’re still involved. Men eventually get there, but it takes much longer, usually after you’ve broken up. And it’s especially bad when you’re trying to please them, it almost works against you, you evidence weakness and they pounce all over it.

lefsetz and brooks should do like a super team-up

I don't think anybody in the younger generation relies on "Rolling Stone," if they read it at all.

It's probably unsavable.

But first they came for the record stores.

Now they've come for "Rolling Stone."

As for the vinyl revival… There’s an over-trumpeted phenomenon if there ever was one. It’s like saying there’s a furniture revival because of “Antiques Roadshow.”

Ummmm... Did people stop buying furniture and I missed it? Or so they just sit on the floor and listen to Spotify

Want to get ahold of me? I'm free after midnight, in the morning I'm unavailable, or as I tell everybody who wants to have a hit and run meeting, that's what breakfast is for, NO! As in I NEVER go to breakfast, it wasn't until my nutritionist insisted that I even ATE breakfast, I don't remember my mother ever waking up and making it for me, I believed it was superfluous, except every once in a while my dad did come home with glazed donuts.

concur w/upper mississippi, Lef's wandered off into a pretty dark corner of his infinite Self

"Want to get ahold of me? I'm free after midnight, in the morning I'm unavailable": Bob Lefsetz or The Weeknd?
