@superwuster Okay but their smear campaign against one of the best anti-monopolist AG’s (Schwalb) we have is absolutely indefensible.

@AspergersAreUs No I didn’t use my earplugs. Lots of dynamic range. Also lots of very sweet banter about the wildlife reserve in Sumatra that the violin player started

@FranziaMom Yes very obtuse sentiments like “I love you and you’re always on my mind” lolz

@FranziaMom After that Shepherd moons and automatic and achtung in the three-way tie

@FranziaMom Luscious Jackson. Underrecognized treasure, Daniel Lanois at his loopiest, a great unexpected match for the band. Reminds me of Flasher’s recent work.

@ingram97x_char @future_of_music Songwriters and publishers. Producers only get paid if they share a piece of the songwriting credit.

Fun fact: iHeartRadio's more than 860 broadcast stations generally don't pay performers a cent when their music is played on AM/FM radio! But they're still a major gatekeeper so artists still feel pressured to show up to their award show.

@thewillmorgs19 @future_of_music … what attracts listeners to listen so they can be subjected to advertisers?
English
@future_of_music I feel bad to side with the megacorp, but I really don’t feel artists are owed any royalties for radio play, like, ever. Listeners don’t pay to listen to radio, the profit in radio comes from advertisers

Again I don’t know the details of the situation but WCP fully botched this. Legal reporting is not music journalism. Different skill sets.

This is a very bad look for @wcp and I’m certain that piece wouldn’t have been published under previous editorial leadership.

@plathiandc @gelliottmorris Uh oh someone’s got the abundance brain worms
English
@gelliottmorris the math is a little more complicated than “more data centers = higher rates”

??? bro the constituency for lower electric bills is... everyone who pays for electricity
PoIiMath@politicalmath
Is killing data centers a new left-wing cause? Seems like a weird and pointless movement with no obvious benefits to any specific left wing constituency. What am I missing?

@ZacharyLipez @eroscestlavie_x But also if somebody has just spent 12 days in jail for “destruction of property” and posts weird vaguely threatening stuff and in response someone quietly tries to get a protective order, that is not “publicly feuding.” A feud is mutual.
English
@ZacharyLipez @eroscestlavie_x I think the stakes associated with unwanted public attention to personal matters are different which isn’t transphobia but is still sort of worth figuring into the calculus.
English
I’m seeing things attempting to frame attention to this as transphobia. It’s a popular (very good!) indie band with multiple people involved posting ill considered things. If this band was cis men they’d be being ETHERED on r/hardcore. See: turnstile’s ex-guitarist…
Listen to Arcade Photobooth by Loveletting!@listentohyakkei
NGL it really sucks I get whole play by plays for the transfemme band's drama when there are probably some truly awful people in the scene coasting by, simply by being cis and slightly more quiet.
