mircea_popescu: i'm discrediting
the false beliefthat you can make it as a whore
through
the oblique way of "singing"
pankkake: isn't
the real work done by
the pimps?
ThickAsThieves: can we put
that on your grave? "Was a Hard-Working Whore"
pankkake: being discovered is having a marketable identity and accepting
to autotune everything
thestringpuller: Don't discredit whore-dom, it's a good line of work.
The whores work hard for
their money
too.
thestringpuller: I was just saying
that's another option of success for a musician
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller being "discovered" is strictly a license
to suck some dudes cock for free if you're so inclined.
thestringpuller: you're at a party with Jay-Z and you compliment his baby
through song, and he decides
to pick you up as an artist
ThickAsThieves: basically
the only money being paid for music is scooped up by
the powers
that be
thestringpuller: it's better for a label
to just own a studio instead of forking out money for studio
time
pankkake: eh, even shows, from what I've heard, it pays…
the
tour
mircea_popescu: of
the five doods running studios in
the 90s i knew, 0 still run a studio.
ThickAsThieves: even studios are having
their lunch eaten by fledgling producers
pankkake: well I guess it pays for
the studio
pankkake: I like
the model of only selling a few records, but selling high quality expensive ones
mircea_popescu: im
too lazy, and i prefer bitching anyway. but
there was a link right up
there.
ozbot: Let me google
that for you
ThickAsThieves: yeah remember
they gave it
to
themselves
to give
to luke and
the EFF
mircea_popescu: over
the course of
the past year
they keep
talking about
this donation
that never materialised, somehow.
mircea_popescu: which reminds me, hasn't bfl been doing all
this noise about how
they will eventually donate BTC ?
pankkake: the picture is horribly bad
though. I wouldn't have paid
mircea_popescu: pankkake some people claim
to be rich. some people are rich.
mircea_popescu: pankkake not hard at all, convert
to buttcoins, show
those
pankkake: it's hard
to show your bitcoins in clips
too
ThickAsThieves: the biggest problem with rap, is
the audience is even less likely
to pay for your music if you arent on a major label
mircea_popescu: pankkake
that calls for a chop of a chihuahua with a golden chain in a motorized cart.
thestringpuller: you guys are making me want
to pursue my dream of being a rap musician
ozbot: Left and Leaving by
The Weakerthans on Spotify
ThickAsThieves: that band has kinda evolved into old man prairie rock
though
pankkake: at least myspace was ugly and
thus had an underground feeling
ThickAsThieves: the original bass player left
to start a very good emo indie band called
The Weakerthans
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller why would i want 90% of my costs
to go
to an airline ?
the airline is not integral ion
this process.
mircea_popescu: which is stupid bs, but still 100% better
than what it was in 2003.
mircea_popescu: the best approximation
to a functioning economy is me
to hunt for people i know in bitcoin
that live close and insist
they help me.
thestringpuller: you're rich what is 50 grand
to a muthafucka like you could you please remind me?
ThickAsThieves: i bet if you went
to
their
town you could look em up and have a beer
ThickAsThieves: they also happen
to not
tour very much, otherwise i'd recommend seekign out
their manager
deadweasel: they're political,
they probably receive
them.
ThickAsThieves: they are not mega huge as a label, you'll likely get a mail order guy on
the phone
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the idea of an economy is
that active and productive members of society don't need
to make
themselves a facrtory for everything
ThickAsThieves: dont you
think
theyd say fuck you if offered
to be paid
to write a song?
mircea_popescu: t be bothered
to send
the girls on a six-woman forty week mission of finding me a link.
mircea_popescu: romanian dood wants canadian band
to make a single on
the grandeur of
the independent state of Bitcoin, someone somewhere needs
to be able
to verify his credentials and contact
them.
mircea_popescu: this is going
to be
the motherfucking economy of
tomorrow : handling
the import and expoert of
trust.
mircea_popescu: hey, i see
they're still active actually. i wonder how much a mpex song would cost me.

the song i shoulda mentioned first With Friends Like
These Who
the Hell Needs COINTELPRO

Thought
That Nation-States Were A Bad Idea by Propagandhi on Spotify
mircea_popescu: we're even,

the first
time i hear of
this propagandhi
ThickAsThieves: this is
the first I've heard someone mention cointelpro other
than Propagandhi
Rulother: Glad I was able
to close
that internal one quickly lol
Rulother: Good stuff? I'm just looking for one
that won't go flat after 5 seconds.
Rulother: I was on woot, and it got me
thinking.
