All he had to do was transfer $5 million to a Nigerian Spotify account

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.

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?

Where is Adele today? There’s zero buzz.

also, paul mccartney, pls call lefsetz, stat. he has some thoughts on how to promote your next album.

Paul McCartney could have a scavenger hunt in Liverpool, both physical and virtual, testing people’s knowledge of the Beatles and his solo career.

it's a shame that adele didn't call lefsetz before her career went down the toilet.

fact checking cuz, Tuesday, 17 May 2016 16:01 (seven years ago) link

where is adele today?

*goes to billboard charts*

well, the chart highlights list her as "greatest gainer" having gone up to #9, and as their "pacesetter"

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 17 May 2016 16:17 (seven years ago) link

so her album's stalled but it's going... up the charts?

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 17 May 2016 16:19 (seven years ago) link

that mccartney bit is primo lefsetz

Of course Megyn Kelly is attractive. More than that. Not the toppermost, but way damn up there, even if she was aided by plastic surgery. But that does not mean she has talent, that does not mean she deserves accolades, that does not mean her coronation sits well with so many of us.

not the toppermost!

And we scored this interview a zero. Maybe a two on an absolute scale.

guess there's still a possibility that megyn kelly's attractiveness on an absolute scale is in fact the toppermost

the absolute toppermost!

People in the UK are pissed off with having
Some eurocrats who are anonymous and dictating the future of the U.K.
This doesn't happen in the states
So I would say you don't really understand the British frustration
It's nothing like the changes in the music biz.
I won't go in about it because that's just how it is Period.
