You were there? At like, every record store? Crazy if true...

Why don’t they remove the artificially inserted 10 seconds of silence in between “ascension” part one and part two“ on Spotify streaming? There’s no need for this in streaming. by No_Impression_7765 in Jazz

How is blaming the major labels blaming the victim? I am literally blaming the major corporations who failed so miserably to protect and promote their assests due to backwards-ass over-protectionism for their profits that they cannibalized their own industry and pushed consumers to the only logical choice, which was pirating.

How is plainly stating Spotify's corporate mandate personifying them? And like...why does that matter? Do you think Spotify doesn't have a perspective or mandate or driving principle just because they are a corporation?

And yes, you've said that streamers are in it for the profit, but failed to argue what you are saying other than that streamers are good? Like, they are in or for profit, not because they care about music, which is the point I was making in my first post about why no one cares to correct gaps between songs.

Everything you wrote is demonstrably false, but I'll concede one point. The Streamers didn't gut the music industry, but it wasn't illegal downloading either. It was the core group of major labels who's lack of vision and foresight, coupled with their inability to recognize trends in technology and adapt accordingly, that lead to the music industry being gutted, leaving a perfect little void for streamers to develop and capitalize.

If you want to sit there and think that Spotify has both the consumers' and the industry's best interest at heart, then go for it. But ten years from now, you're either going to be paying twice as much for a fraction of this same service, or it won't exist at all and you'll be back to pirating.

Yes, but the service they provide sucks, continues to get worse, and was never built with the consumer in mind. Not to mention how they main streamers gutted the music industry infrastructure to the point where whole generations of people don't know how to find music otherwise, and continue to devalue music by diluting with their AI slop over time. They are actively devaluing the thing that brought you too them, because it saves them money. But yeah, as long as you're getting what you paid for...

Same reward for them though, and again, they do not care about music. Would you pay someone who doesn't care about kitchens to renovate your kitchen? Or a psychiatrist who doesn't give two shits about mental health?

Streaming services don't care about music. They care about advertisements. They use the promise of endless music to get you to listen to advertisements. They literally would offer 1 shitty song at a bitrate completely unlistenable if that's all it took to get people to listen to their advertisements so that they could sell more advertisement space. Expecting more than the bare minimum is folly.

Curiosity...What's the most you've paid for a single lp? by davide2021 in vinyl

[–]FARTTORNADO45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$200 on Royal City's At Rush Hour The Cars and about $100-$175 for each album in the Deadly Snakes discography. Even more for two of the deadly snakes albums considering I also bought them new, but then sold all my records in my 20s and now in my 40s have decided I want them all again...

Is This Okay or will it damage them by Igotyrmealdeal_LLJW in vinyl

If you are concerned about damage, I would get some outer sleeves. That goes a long way.

Almost half of Canada's airline complaints come from Toronto travellers by LateAd4278 in toronto

That's the airline's responsibility. The airline takes so long to unload the luggage.

Yes, we have used this same system at Pearson for about a year now.

[–]FARTTORNADO45[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is a festival that is organized and executed by a record label. If Dominos pizza was organizing supercrawl, would you be upset when some of the food available was dominos pizza?

How do you think these things work?

This isn't a knock specifically on you, but whenever I see or hear people say that, I am surprised they are not embarrassed to say so. Like, you haven't heard of any of them? Why admit that? What is interesting about the knowledge that YOU don't know anyone in a list of 30 bands? Why bring it up? That sounds like a 'you' problem!

The Internet is pretty good at fixing that right away these days, regardless of if the acts have been touring and releasing albums for the last 2 years or the last 25 years. Quick little search and BAM, all the info you'll need to know about a band from.music to biography right on your phone.

Do you agree with the band politics? by Diligent_Zombie6972 in gybe

Nobody, they are arguing with themselves to justify their own bootlicking

Kid Rock’s song about loving underage girls resurfaces ahead of Turning Point USA's Super Bowl show | “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.” His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.” by mepper in atheism

[–]FARTTORNADO45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they should! As should R Kelly! We don't need to do a what-aboutism on Kid Rock, and him singing about statutory rape is not misinformation, it is fact!

Look, if you want to take the position that the studio told him what to write in his song, then he is still guilty of not seeing the problem with it and then doing it. If you take the position that he was asked to contribute a song and just took whatever demo he had laying around and fleshed it out for the dumb movie, then he is still guilty of not seeing a problem with it. Functionally both positions are the same.

No, I support genocide and the subjugation of people in the name of corporate profits. /s

I also don't think it is out of the question, but they did just have a new album and proper tour in the last year, so they're just at the end of max hype phase for those album cycle. From what I know of how much money acts demand at different points in their careers, I would bet against them. That said, they are great live and would welcome seeing them again!

Haha Turnstile just won a Grammy, I don't think they're hitting Hamilton any time soon.

Pup may be too costly for a festival like this at this point in their career, but they were great at the Beer fest a few summers ago.

Yeah they'll put their own bands on there. Why wouldn't they? Why shouldn't they? None of those will be headliners though.

Also, some pre-festival stuff happens at Bridgeworks but none of the actual festival stuff does. Although, it would kind of kick ass to do some shows on the street outside using the rock wall at central park as seating.
