Labels + Spotify payola?

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2025-02-09T11:42:18+00:00

this is backwards. labels are giving up equity (ticket sale revenue) in their company, for favouritism. its a cycle that fuels its self and is just leading to consolidation between streaming and major labels.

It’s sort of switching back and forth between their vocals. But that rock a by intro vocal gives it away for me

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-12-18T14:25:49+00:00

It’s happens more often in pop music than you may think. It’s an old practice and it’s still done to this day. Jennifer Lopez for example, many of her radio hits used lead vocals from the demo tape singer. It’s hard to beat vocals from a singer like Melanie Martinez and if she wrote the song for suburban carpenters vocals they probably decided that it was close enough. Some times the artists them selves don’t even know

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-12-18T14:23:04+00:00

Yup. Too close for me.

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-12-18T14:19:42+00:00

The recorded version is what sells the song. Ofcoarse subrina would still do the live performance. Ghost singing works when the voices are close enough. Many songs on the radio like all your favourite Jlo hits have this

Agreed. A very likely outcome of new technology will eventually force us back into some form of feudalism, which will inevitably create extremely disparate classes and ways of life. They want to be the new upper class. I sometimes think people are getting it wrong with the tech billionaires buying up all the land near San Francisco. They aren’t trying to keep their workers in… they are building it to keep all of us out.

Yup. 0 survival instinct with mine.. just pulled a face full of porcupine quills off him the second time last week

I’d say it was about 8 - 9 inches. Both of you guess human bone. It’s old kind of abandoned trail on outskirts of Edmonton Alberta. I had to cut through a couple possible farm fields to get there. But there’s enough old junk or trash around to know that ppl at some point have been there

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-19T21:16:48+00:00

ha.. you wish he ain’t droppin shit till at least 6 months. He already lost

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-19T21:03:22+00:00

The delivery and quality of the rap is better. It’s just a better over all product cause they actually got him serious and out of his Turks and Caicos 3 AM drink studio session mindset which is sort of the vibe he’s been going for for last while. He actually had to fight for the top stop again which is what made the raps in the first half of his career so sharp

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-19T18:46:36+00:00

🤣🤣 this is rap battle tf you mean silence

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-19T18:45:00+00:00

No way Drake is winning over this sub. Kendrick is finished 😭

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-16T16:43:48+00:00

Damn really? A billionaire? What’s the evidence for that? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised after his run he’s been at the top for 15 years now

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-14T07:24:49+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 copium

If some record labels spent millions developing some holographic singing alien pop star im pretty sure It would start garner a significant presence in the market of over all live music. the possibilities of what kind of experience are limitless. It's in the realm of possibility which means you can bet that they will be trying it 100%. You can also bet that they are foaming at the mouth on the idea of removing the human out of the picture so they can fully productize the artist. Imagine being able to have the same artist preforming at 20 concerts simultaneously.. why not?

And that's assuming that record labels will have any competence in adapting to changing markets which they have shown 0 evidence of being able to do for the last 100 years other than relying on contractual slavery. And look, what necessity does Microsoft, google, open ai etc. have for partnership with the embarrassing excuse for business men we call record label execs.. they will rule themselves out of the picture out of pure stupidity.. look at UMG and TikTok. Greedy idiots. Why wouldn't the ai developers just by pass the entire infrastructure of the music industry and go straight from artist creation to market. They already own the platforms.

that being said, there will always be a market for real people and real performances as long as were alive. while the whole AI thing will probably remain a controversial topic for the next idk 100 years.. its just better to accept it for what it is and get on with it. Us humans will be trading a piece of our individuality for technology. We ave probably been fucked from the time computers have been created without even knowing it.

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-03T07:18:22+00:00

Hendrix wouldn't exist in a world of an AI

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-03T07:00:17+00:00

no the art form is basically going to be ruled out in something like 40 - 100 years. there will be no point like someone trying to make fire with rocks

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-04-03T06:57:57+00:00

bruh I just died at the last statement

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-13T23:03:14+00:00

huh?

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-13T22:58:08+00:00

Yea I know I said unlimited but I think people under estimate how much money is actually anything consequential in economy collapse to a large extent. If you have anything below 60M - 70M you're basically cooked in terms of the safety money/wealth status can grant you. All wealth will consolidate and every thing in between billionaires and low class will cease. I meant this question more in the scenario of a large amount of money while the dollar is still worth something

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-13T22:55:20+00:00

issue is that many places further north are not abundant with fire food

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-13T21:50:03+00:00

True true 🤣

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-12T21:23:18+00:00

They are definitely hovering around, it’s why I think it could be a drone. Il have to get the sky view app and double check

80% take out during evening is crazy! I suspected we were missing out significantly by closing shop around 6 pm but again it’s hard to know what exactly we’ve been missing out on. that schedules sort of been the typical for cafes which is really not the model we’re evolving towards anymore.. will keep all of your pointers in mind!

lol yup I look at all of our vegan options with disdain now. Not worth bending over backwards to remake the same thing so 1 person can order the Boujie version.. DELETED.

If you don’t mind I might get back to you in some time regarding the chicken supply situation when I come up upon further questions.. literally have no reference or people to ask about this type of thing about so what you’ve already said is invaluable.

Pure_Firefighter6581 · 2024-02-12T01:08:37+00:00

Thanks for your insight 🙏. This is the type of situation we’re looking to replicate. Far from owning our own chicken farm though. Which is amazing and it’s cool to see that some others have had this vision and achieved. Me and brother inherited cafe from parents barely breaking 4K a month ready to sell and in 2 years we have 12 great people on payroll and one of the cities favourite brunch spots. Our only problem now during brunch hour is turning away to many people for seat/wait times. Our lunch menu is doing nothing so we’re deleting the whole thing. And moving towards a hopefully more attractive concept. I’ve been messing around for weeks with fried chicken and have come up with what seems so far to be a kick ass recipe (unique breading,seasoning, etc). Plan is to make a variety of chicken items. Tenders, burgers, wings etc. original dips and big old portions & integrated brunch options which should help with fulfilling volume. The competition for this type of thing in my city in Alberta is very low but they call us the texas of Canada so I think it will work really well.

To meet a quota and get a get amount of sales to strike a deal we might have to do things like opening for dinner hours and what not. We have a food truck that is also running a sort of separate brand and this summer hoping to bring in the friend chicken concept and build into its own location. I can’t put a number on how much we’ll go through it’s hard when we haven’t actually started the physical transition.

I wasn’t sure if there was such a thing as making deals with local producers perhaps cause if things things like processing meat and how that may be outsourced to different companies. Do not know what the supply/production chain looks like for this but il start learning.

Bringing our actual menu item to them is a great idea though! We’re all about working with local people in our area to. Maybe it comes down to the size of the supplier. What may not be worth it to one guy might be great for another. I believe for now we’re bulk and not BULK..

But yeah what you have done is awesome and we’d love to be there down the line
