Don't yall just love opening up the Way back machine page and loading up your playlist and using that instead of Spotify?

Fucking idiots.

I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but... I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.

But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78's.

I won't use Spotify though.

m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else... Meh.

I will get change.org tattooed on my nut sack if anyone can show me proof of a change.org petition changing anything.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Alone, a petition doesn't have any effect. But it's a tool to publicize a cause, and a way to create a movement. Some had a strong effect.

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Please me know if you get a picture of a tattooed ball sack, I have a kink

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I dont believe you do have this kink you speak of. And you can easily just share where the rest of us can find this kink if you continue to uphold this statement with any intent to convince people that you do in fact have this job

This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:

They're mostly focusing on pitch. They're not focusing on rhythm. They're not focusing on timbre. They're focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.

Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I'll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.

It's worse man.

Axis of Awesome has a song called "Four Chord Song" where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.

Four fucking chords.

Your paying for lyrics.

[-] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

So first, music isn't just chords. Second, there's only so many combinations that actually sound good. There's a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it's kind of interesting.

You should look into it. Because it sounds like you're just mad at how music works.

Well, okay but that's a relatively new thing. In the olden times the record industry was very honorab-ahahahahaha ahhhhhh fuck. Yeah, no they've always been crooks and scum. But sometimes they did good by accident. That was before the accountants took over, though. Way back.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Like when blank music cd’s (specifically for music cd copiers) cost more because they knew people were pirating CDs?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sure, or the death of DAT, the overcharging of printed CDs, longboxes, there's a huge list of terrible things.

That's why we pay an extra on any Hardware that could possibly be used to pirate it, so that such lawsuits aren't neccessary, right? Right?

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Thats only in some countries iirc.

fuck capatalists man, will destroy any good in the world, with their short sited fodder for the profit machine.

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Guess I'll increase my monthly donation and boycott the recording industry. Time for torrents.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

There's plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There's no need to listen and give money to majors.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck that just Rrr the fuckers

[-] rebelflesh@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Back when 4chan was a small cesspool we took down the recording industry, we can do it again with Spotify and all the streaming services.

We beat them once we will do it again.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago
