He starts off saying what if you went into a record store and they just gave you the whole store. Here’s what mother****er that would be fan-****ing-tastic. He found himself going through piles of **** to find the gems. That’s a luxury not a burden. He says songs are even getting shorter to address the shortened attention span of listeners. He needs to go through my free jazz and ambient drone threads then. Then there’s the old boohoo artists aren’t making money bs. Artists have always been starving. That’s not because of the medium. It’s the nature of the beast.
Everything he says is self serving bull****. I’m not going to romanticize the days of handing over my paychecks to record stores. I’m not going to pretend that having 50 Miles Davis records at my fingertips at all times isn’t awesome.
Seriously, he’s trying to sell on me the idea that having cheap access to lots of great music is bad and he accuses SPOTIFY of gaslighting. Lol. That’s ****ing rich. You want to make sure you’re getting paid, DJ Food? I’ll pay you to come suck my dick.
