You're starting to piss me off because you're ignoring everything I say.
And I don't "hate" Dave. He's always been cool when we've hung out and kind to my daughters. But using a superstar to validate your argument is just plain weak. That's not the issue and you know it. |

Hell, I agree with the vast majority of what you've said. However, I think that you are slightly exaggerating the doom and despair in the music industry. Record year in concerts - for the third year in a row. Digital sales are down. CD's, while down again, still sell as evidenced by: Quote:

However, that doesn't mean that rock is dead and kids aren't still making music. Sure, they aren't getting paid like they did in '89 or whenever, but they aren't stopping making music. I really don't know what you want out of this. I think I understand that you don't think that "Toys in the Attic" would sell today because you don't believe that anything is selling today, that nobody cares about rock and roll versus EDM and that streaming has killed the profitability of the music industry. Okay. But people are still making music and enjoying doing that. And I was just giving you shit about Grohl. Geez... |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/articl...m-178m-streams All About That Bass writer says he got $5,679 from 178 million streams "I've never heard a songwriter complain about radio royalties as much as streaming royalties," Mr Kadish said. "That was the real issue for us, like one million streams equals $90 (£59)". Mr Kadish co-wrote All About That Bass with singer Meghan Trainor. After offering the song to other artists and being turned down, Trainor went on to record the track herself. It became one of the biggest-selling digital singles of all time and launched her singing career. She also became the first act to enter the UK top 40 based purely on streams; and the song then spent four weeks on top of the chart. Speaking to a meeting hosted by the US House Judiciary Committee at a university in Tennessee, he explained that many songwriters face a challenge when it comes to streaming services. "For a song like All About That Bass, that I wrote, which had 178 million streams. I mean $5,679? That's my share," he is quoted as saying in a report from The Tennessean. "That's as big a song as a songwriter can have in their career and number one in 78 countries. But you're making $5,600. How do you feed your family?" Members of Congress are currently investigating music copyright to see if current laws are keeping up with advances in technology. "America's copyright industries - movies, television programming, music, books, video games and computer software - and technology sector are vitally important to our national economy," said Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte in a statement before the meeting. "The House Judiciary Committee's copyright review is focused on determining whether our copyright laws are still working in the digital age to reward creativity and innovation in order to ensure these crucial industries can thrive." |

BTW, I'm glad you've found a way to turn music into money and I don't doubt you're giving good advice for others who want to do the same.

Thanks. At this point, there is a way to create music for a living but like most things in life, everything changes. Adapt or die. |

I downloaded Dane's latest jingle illegally. But don't worry, I backed it up in case my HD crashes.

Im the ripe young age of 39. Definitly heard of Aerosmith, just had never heard the song. As mentioned, Im a country bumpkin, but I remember the movie Dazed and Confused had Pink and his "friends" going to Houston to pick up Aerosmith tickets, priority of the summer or something like that

Good example how this generation has very shitty taste in music. It is all geared to 13 year old girls as I stated before. And he is complaining? It took him what 5 minutes to write that dumb song- 30 to mix it and shit it out to the public. Sorry but it is not like you wrote Stairway to Heaven or something. That dumb song managed to catch peoples 15 second attention span and he cashed in. |
