"...Probably not Taylor Swift". LMFAO!

i hate the way streaming services handle money, and that’s precisely why i’m someone who still buys records and cds

[@ericbnielsen]

First of all nice Trasatlanticism icon. I have bought every Death Cab album as a CD and everything else has been in streaming.

The new landscape for musicians is almost like going back in time before the phonograph existed. The majority of the money i feel is made in the performance rather than the recording days. In a strange way.

If one of the streaming services reach monooly then artists will receive even less money as the one streaming service will be bitchier than now because they can. Moreover they're promising real money to artists as soon as they become the one and only service which they know will never happen so it's a quite cynical promise from them.

Umm... like... well... OMG... Hmm... Ya know? What I mean, uh?

Taylor Swift has lots of help. There is no fucking way she writes, plays, and produces her own music. AND because she has a gang of people helping her, she rips off the esthetics of other artist who are being themselve, not an ever changing ameoba person. I guess the point is that the people that help her win grammys made fuck tons of money, who cares about the award? Machine people that crush.

She does write it.

Ben not letting nick speaking 💀

[@drewburns2532]

whereas Nick actually doesn't like to talk publicly as much as Ben, and you're overanalyzing

[@nickrussell9646]

It's why you're musicians and they're business people.
