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?

what kind of moneyed asshole would install marble in a kitchen?

is the bible your favorite book?

you're the weirdo Ringo fan, aren't you? i'm sorry to hear that.

no there isn't. there's a largest building, a longest ski jump, a fattest man, a smallest penis. but there is no greatest band.

there is no such thing.

as favorite band? yes. the whole concept of 'favorite band' seems so 5th grade BFF to me. i am not denying the influence and greatness of them, but i honestly can't recall the last time i listened to them. ps - they are not the greatest band of all time.

the thing most blowing my mind is the repeated mentioning of The Beatles as a favorite band.

side III, Metal Machine Music

Yim Yames must be outraged.

So is that what a selfie is?

I thought you were talking about Mr. Dick in a Box.
