  1. Oh, oh dear God there's gonna be a thread about it.
  2. So as to not creat large quote post, I'll just say doomer is more in the realm that I'm speaking of more than labels being used as fronts. Because speaking of indie labels, I actually know a few that are mostly fronts. And speaking on managers, part of my rant was about Brittany Spears and her dad making off with a chunk of her money, but I was wondering if that situation, how do you even trust a manager
  3. Sigh.... technically, memory loss is a symptom of ADD. I refuse to use ADHD unless it applies despite it's pretty much replaced ADD as a diagnosis, but that's another bag of worms I'm not trying to get myself whipped into a frenzy over
  4. The OK sampler... A 4lb plate of meat and fried okra...still plenty left
  5. Actually, it's kind of rough going...the water washers away the natural lubricants and adds friction. It sucks but you finish because you saw it on tv
  6. So lately, amid all of the hoopla of industries being exposed, and people in power being attacked for their underhanded practices concerning their talent, I'm wondering why people are still trying to get signed. This also applies to the movie/tv industry too but right now I'm just thinking about musicians. Now I listen to all genres of music, but I'll admit that most of what I'm about to prattle on about is mostly the rap/hiphop sector. If you don't know, Diddy is under fire again. To lesser extents, Jay-Z, Birdman, Suge Knight, and even Russel Simmons have had their share of accusations come out against them....some, substantiated, some debunked and some that went away because the accuser suddenly was unalived. Everything from rape, to murder to gross exploitation without compensation have come up, and in a world where you can get rich on Spotify if you put in the work, what do large labels have to offer anymore. Now don't get me wrong...obviously signing with a label gets you access to their resources which would expedite the trip to fame but when you see your favorite artist from the 00s working at a gas station because the label didn't pay them, or they didn't suck the CEOs dick, I just feel like common sense would kick in. Now, moving on...while I do listen to other genres, I have no idea who's in charge of their labels. Like, are there country singers who should have been famous but aren't because they refused to get naked, or promote a certain thing they didn't agree with. What I'm saying is I've never seen (not saying they haven't) say..Taylor Swift claiming the label stole her royalties or.,.I dunno, Dolly Parton claiming she doesn't own her catalogue (Dolly is likely independent but I'm just trying to get through this rant that I've mostly forgotten ).... That said, I should have done this yesterday when all the ideas were fresh and I still had a decent memory of the video that prompted this.
  7. I didn't really want to put it there because....you know what, I'll just make the post then see what happens....worst case scenario, it goes to TD.
  8. Why are you apologizing to him. I'm the bipolar one, and have poor impulse control... I'm the one that people call crazy. You hurt MY feelings just throwing that word around. Tempted to report you now.😡
  9. I dunno...I just feel like if you're 40+ and still talking about "making up with your old lady before she gets her taxes" you shouldn't be able to post anything she buys you.
  10. I kinda looked but nothing seemed to lean in that direction and I would rather not start a new one if one exists. If there is, I'll request this be merged with it. I have a long winded post but wanna put it in the right place
  11. Singapore rice noodles
  12. Aw, we could have gone out and you still could feel lonely and empty I'm good at that.
  13. Oh goddammit, I should have known where this was going to wind up
  14. 🍞
