I'm impressed! I saw New Order a couple of weekends back at Coachella. They were really good.

As with any festival, the beautiful thing about not being excited by an act is the other acts that...

Thanks! We're really happy about this one. There's another 30 to 35 acts still to announce in the coming weeks. The Knife will not be one of them however as they say they will not visit the USA...

Agreed.

"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art." - Andy Warhol

Fair enough...that remark was not my brightest moment. But you are also making the assumption that would only have done this when a woman was posting in this manner...and would not have made a...

I'm assuming that this is aimed at me also. I'm a little taken aback and disappointed by the notion that I can't pretend to have an honest opinion on matters related to the business that I work in. ...

Does this mean we're both idiots?

One of my favorite recordings of all time. Especially that opening tune, "Myself When I Am Real"

It's always annoyed me too. It just popped into my head yesterday while scrolling through the thread, so I thought it might be fun to trot it out and see if it might serve to annoy others as well.

Yes, we promoted that show and it turned out to be his last. R.I.P. He was truly one of a kind.

On a related note, we also have the distinction of presenting Johnny Cash's last full concert...

Aw, gee, now there's a zinger. I suppose I should resemble that remark. Oh, well...I had hoped that having my tongue in my cheek and by leaving it open for everyone to choose which part of the...

Jessie Ware - Devotion
Rhye - Woman

Several Coachella highlights from last week...but none could top...

If THAT'S what you think, then you really are an idiot...or I'm a very poor communicator. I have never once mounted a personal defense of the quality of AP's art. I haven't heard the new record. I...

Now, Joe...don't be such an idiot. You're taking me far, far too seriously. I'm just having some fun messin' with people a bit here. My characterization of mte's argument was intended reflect...

I agree. I find many people fascinating...and events too. I can regularly be found discussing all three.

Rude? Me???? :)

I can appreciate your eagerness to come to the defense of your boyfriend, Shady, but he'll survive. It's not even a flesh wound.

I'm afraid if you think I'm gazing "in...

I suppose that whether one finds the quote condescending or not depends on which category you find yourself in :rolleyes:

But it definitely applies.

Sorry you didn't like the quote.

She certainly has engaged your time and attention, hasn't she? By some standards, that might be a true measure of her success as an artist. You might argue that...

I continue to find the obsession with Amanda Palmer and the observations about her sincerity or authenticity or the perceived quality of the relationship that she has with her fans and whether her...

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, by Ben Fountain

Wow...

Can you provide a link? I'm not finding anything about this through a quick Google search.

A little Bob can go a long way. Sometimes he's spot on...sometimes, well...he's beyond annoying as hell.

I have one friend who claims that all of his employees are informed that they will be...

Thanks for the comments. I enjoy discussing this stuff.

The Leftsetz newsletter this morning says that "Warner Brothers Records has decided to go to a Kickstarter funding model for new projects...

Yes, I liked "Jackie Chan." Did you edit the video too?

Two other things of interest:

I would strongly urge anyone interested in the music business, whether as a fan or as a player, to read...

Nice to see this one still alive :rolleyes:

At the risk of either stating the obvious, playing the role of Debbie Downer, or just being annoying, I'm compelled to weigh in here. Having ...

After 40 years or so of listening to this music regularly, sometimes often, every time I return to it, I still hear something new. The other night while working out at the Y my random iPod took me...
