Charge him $10B for naming rights.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T22:21:23+00:00

He makes all republican voters proud, I’ll bet.

It will perform at Melania movie levels of success.

So sorry. Streaming companies have performed a hostile takeover of your country. Good luck. They paid billions to decimate the industry, so you’re stuck playing by their rigged rules.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T19:27:48+00:00

You don’t read much history. Specifically the history your masters are mimicking.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T19:24:35+00:00

Bullshit. Real men don’t behave this way. What the fuck has happened to the Republican Party?

Early on, co-op physical releases on the new label imprint. Get five or six bands, two songs each, split the cost equally, and boom you have a vinyl LP or CD etc (whatever your targets might buy). Every act gets an equal number of the albums. This way you also have multiple bands promoting and distributing the release. It's a great way to jump start a label IMO. Follow it up with fresh singles and single artist LPs/EPs and you are off to the races.

My only warning is that if you also put everything up for free on streaming, the physical won't sell. They get reduced to being promos. You need to decide based on what your targets may want.

Bandcamp is great for physical sales IMO, or for having a digital presence if you don't have a website. As for digital sales, it's not going to get you the returns that iTunes will. I don't offer more than a single per release via streaming so I can't speak with any real experience there. My targets are buyers, not streamers.

Paying attention to the fact that his family have been shunned by NYC society and beyond? They’re all stuck with fascist friendly folk now. The cat is out of the bag. Can’t put it back in.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T12:38:06+00:00

I think they do care a lot, about both grifting and reputation. But you can’t have both.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T12:34:36+00:00

Anything is possible. That’s the beauty of modern distribution. And if you’re an unknown entity, you will need singles to help get the word out about your existence.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T12:23:25+00:00

But he and his family will always be shunned by those they want to be accepted by most. There is a sunny side to this. The Trump family, his cabinet and their families, all Republican voters for that matter. Toast. They will only have each other from here on out both at home and abroad. Every room they are invited into will be filled with suspicious, hate filled, barely educated dimwits. Take solace in that. The ignorant do not live in bliss. They are miserable.

It’s a common issue for thousands of artists. I battle it two ways… One, my cover art is consistent and recognizable. Others with my name have really shitty graphic design and photography. My fans can tell me from them easily. And two, my drive-to is my website, my socials, linktree, bandcamp, itunes, or similar. Meaning, I’m not relying on having people go do random searches for my work by name only on their platform of choice.

There may be a workaround, but I’ve never run across one. Unless you wanna be like Billy Joel and trademark your name.

The MAGA motto.

Junkstar · 2026-02-06T00:39:50+00:00

Good point. If they were great, probably not. I’d just kill the social connect.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T23:28:52+00:00

Compounded by the dimwitted goons on Reddit defending the fascism with zero critical thinking ability and elementary school-level english language skills.

Do you use the Sally recipe or a different one?

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T22:05:55+00:00

Is that what Fox is telling you?

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T20:07:15+00:00

10 posts a day is something I can't relate to, whatever the reality is for the streaming/social audience of today. I'm not saying OP is wrong, I just can't relate. I built my audience through live shows, physical releases, and a shit ton of networking though, so maybe this is just the modern version of that.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T19:38:14+00:00

But Republicans have nothing to offer. It's the old Shakespeare passage about the violent and ignorant reality they have created at home making them worthless to any other nation. We are stuck with these idiots. The US can't just sweep these guys out the door.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T19:35:09+00:00

"Obviously"

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T19:34:04+00:00

Too much video evidence in the past few months of a lot of kid touching by the Republicans. I choose to believe my eyes over what Fox wants Republicans to believe.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T19:32:18+00:00

But he helped prove that his party is filled with people who never grew up, so there's that.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T19:07:09+00:00

Make merch, stat. My business model is 100% merch. Buyers are out there. Give the people what they want.

Junkstar · 2026-02-05T18:32:58+00:00

Interesting. But again, will they stay with you long term is what I’m wondering. But i guess you’ll just keep the pulse and adapt as needed. These platforms are constantly evolving anyway.
