I am amazed that people can read a thread that basically says "do what you like off the forums but don't put up links to this or offer share commercially-released music on here publicly please" and go off on a bloody rant about it in the first place.
But to then have a whole thread of gzillions of posts of argument, discussion, rant and counter-rant which results in the show being broadcast ALL LAST WEEKEND on Dirty Radio, then STILL come along a week later and decide to have a rant about it really takes the biscuit. Give it a rest people, for heaven's sake. Or start a thread entitled "Things I want to whine about today" so I will know to avoid it if I am SICK TO MY BACK TEETH OF HEARING PEOPLE WHINGING LIKE BABIES!
And Future Proof: Do you have any idea just how petulant you are making yourself sound here? "R & K have money and I don't. I have to work hard for my buck, I have supported them, they can have a picture of my ass" etc. etc.
R & K don't care if they piss anyone off? Hell's teeth, what more do you want them to do? They tried to stream the bloody thing live on the night. That failed, so they streamed from Osaka the next night instead, AND streamed Tokyo following their Lemonworld session, AND it was streamed again several times last weekend. I guess you want them to come to your house, play a gig in your yard for you and your friends and bring you signed copies of the thing aswell. But then I am sure you would find something else to moan about, like Karl wearing the wrong shirt or Rick not playing the version of Nuxx you want.
I give up, I really do. This is bordering on the insane now.
Thank you. |
Ladies and gentlemen, that's how it's done.
Petulant? Couldn't care less. Unreasonable? Don't much care about that either. But what did R&K think would happen to those disks? Did a thought ever run through their minds that perhaps maybe, just maybe, people would buy that and
spit on their music, their legacy, their ethos in general by doing something like selling it on EBay for $350? In case you've forgotten, we're talking about the same band that has a million and one bootlegs floating around and couldn't have cared less.
Of course, the counterpoint to that is "Well people don't have to spend that" but the thing is that people
will spend that kind of money, and I contend that it didn't have to happen. So before you run off insulting me missy, you'd better understand that to me, this isn't a debatable issue. If we were in the early 1900's and we were talking about Picasso paintings that couldn't be mass-produced then that's another story. If however you're going to tell me that a band like Underworld should drop 7000 disks, turning their backs on their website which was designed entirely for delivering music and making profit just so some of the lucky 7,000 can bust a fat and greedy lick on the more deserving, then I'm going to tell you to go find a zombie movie that's getting ready to film because you're already dressed for the part.
Yeah, there's insanity floating around here alright, that's why I'm avoiding the kool-ade... bunch of cultists. How freaking retarded of you to rather advocate file-sharing and breaking laws than questioning what the bright idea was here.
Sanakan, anyone else... I'll be on for another 15 minutes, tomorrow looks bad but I can pencil you in for Sunday when we begin our debate of artist's rights vs. the bullshit and wanton act of creating a product that will do nothing but create a greed-driven market for anyone looking to shop. GOOD NIGHT NOW.
