the Replacements were just a loud, trashy, fun rock band. isn't that the point of it all?

Husker's got two singers. and i think you're the first person i've ever heard who doesn't like Pollard's voice.

the key is to be just as hammered. this was an excellent strategy for any GBV show.

it took 162 times for Lou to finish.

i love anchovies by themselves. i make a braised chicken thigh dish that includes a couple of minced anchovies. i look forward to eating the rest of the tin w/ some fresh bread while i make the rest of the dish. i have only eaten haggis once, but it was a phenomenal night i won't forget (Robbie Burns dinner that a vendor put on for us in Aberdeen).

Link Wray is currently in heavy rotation in his casket.

Louis CK?

I don't believe you.

we are non-practicing Zoroastrians.

obviously, to be good parents!

even if we're Jewish?

i haven't gotten an xmas tree yet. are my wife and i bad parents?

yep, the standing rib roast is a tradition...mustard/garlic/thyme rub, horseradish sauce on the side.

i'm sorry that you took it as a personal insult. and really surprised as well.

you are still unclear? ok, for the third time i'll type it out. (pro tip - move your lips while reading it this time) Spotify - great for the listener, not so great for the musician

the Buzzcocks wrote catchier songs than the Beatles.

Soul Asylum

i am sure that the vast majority of band/label contracts pre-date Spotify's existence.

he does. he's obviously relating two perspectives, which i already pointed out. for the artist, it sucks. for the music listener, it's great. not necessarily. it's not detailed in the article, but i recall hearing other stories where it's the label who works out an agreement w/ Spotify, for both content availability and payment rate, not the artists. they may have little to no say in the matter.

take a look at my post a few posts up.

QOTSA and The Kills

Damon Krukowski disagrees http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/8993-the-cloud/ edit - i need to read some of these others: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/jul/29/spotify-vs-musicians-streaming-royalties

yeah, Lowery (and a bunch of other musicians) are definitely against it. it's an amazing deal for the listener, though. that's undeniable.

precisely why it's totally horrible for the actual content creators. hmm...should i pay $15 for a single CD, $10 for a single digital download, or $10 for access to more songs than i know what to do with? such as? from random recommendations from friends? Spotify itself doing the RIYL thing? or from other sources, which then you can listen to these bands via Spotify?
