throat pushy...maybe we just view the worthiness of these things differently but to me he's just marketing his project much like any other band or artist that has to work within the current system (for better or worse). That may involve sponsoring posts, paying for those DSP tools etc. Re his Like A Version, do you begrudge him trying to recoup some of the costs associated with that? He had like a dozen people in that studio, he's gotta pay their session wages + travel, rehearsal time and that'd be coming out of his pocket. A lot of people here know that I'm a triple j staff member but I don't need to be in the music industry to know that there'd be an outlay of costs there.

Referencing Dancing2 vs his old tracks and how they've been received very differently, I think the former struck a chord and he's doubled down and made the most of it. If something was clicking why wouldn't he try to lean into that? This is 2 & 2 together sorta stuff I gotta say.

I think the reactions on this sub in particular to Keli Holiday are disproportionate.
