These morons keep harping about how the artists are getting screwed. Yet they’re the first ones to rave about some 1986 CD sounding the best (where the artist makes $0 on a used cee dee purchase), nor do they have any understanding that artists were royally screwed in the CD age. It’s no secret that many artists from the CD explosion era are still in debt to their labels and never made a penny in royalties, beyond their advances (most of whom blew the advances with no savings).

They're always happy to wank on about how Bruce Springsteen is rich and faking it by being down with the working man and must need a new wing on his mansion whenever he announces a tour, but that Duran Duran (or whatever other long-term artist who've faded from their heyday) have put out three versions of their new album because they need the money. And of course, if you're David Crosby and you spent the money on smack and a boat, it's your own fault either way. Likewise, it's always the evil streaming services are the ones screwing the artist over, but don't see that their second-hand purchases are giving zero financial benefit to the artist. Either way, it's always someone else to blame (the greedy artist, the record label, the struggling artist, the streaming service, the hipster fans who buy up all the limited edition stuff before they can), but it's never their fault. I fucking hate those fuckers.

Yeah, the idea that the majority of the world actually enjoys music without any paranoid neurotic insanity also makes their brains hurt.

The thread about Jim Morrison’s watch has of course descended into photos of white dudes wearing ugly watches.
Oddly, The Most Knowledgeable And Distinguished Watch Wearer Ever has made no contribution to the thread. Presumably he’s cutting bits out of Wikipedia to prepare his response.

Don't forget the picture Hoofy will post of his janky liver spot covered arm wearing a watch, but not just any watch. He's wearing Jim Morrison's OTHER watch! He got it from Robbie Krieger who he had lunch with and impressed with his vast knowledge of guitars.

That Ukraine war thread in off topic. Proof that even Trump-hating libs can turn into bloodthirsty ghouls given the right prompting.

The "Who's Next" 50th. Lurpac is living the dream. 2 months of this shit before its release date. Some of the SHites are already pissing & moaning about the mastering. The 2022 remaster of Who's Next was released today for streaming and of course it's too loud for the golden ears over there. $300 for a brickwalled box set. They will hate the half-speed mastered vinyl also because Miles Showell is doing that, and the SHites hate his work too.
