All about the money, they don't care about fans, the only time they do is when they are going to get a big payday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a ridiculous reason, if people think you're good you'll make money. Gaga makes $70 million a year and you'll definitely see her on those services.
ReplyDeleteIts always about the money...
ReplyDeleteeh money money money
ReplyDeleteRecord companies make all the money off CDs anyway. Artists make money off gigs.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
Deleteagreed...Dan Auerbach is obviously a total douche
Deleteeh, i like them enough that i just went and bought the cd
ReplyDeleteThe Black Keys are awesome, they make tens of thousands of dollars on each tour. Not too sure why Auerbach is stressing out over streaming services.
ReplyDeleteGood to know how those companies operate, though.
They are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know any of those songs except for the first one. LOL! Actually, I've only seen 2 of the above movies. Maybe I need to get out more.... and, yes, everyone's a sell out. You just have to find the right price. :)
ReplyDeleteEhh, this is how stuff runs these days
ReplyDeleteMoney makes the world go round!!! Gotta say I do love 'Your Touch' . . . Zombieland rocks hehe
ReplyDeleteIt's a business, let them run it how they want.
ReplyDeleteit's all about the green
ReplyDeleteGreat list of all their corporate tie-ins!
ReplyDeleteWell, most bands make the most money from merchandise and concerts. Placing the music in movies seems like another good move.
ReplyDeleteMoney always slows down progression in new tech / ways of commerce.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend would love this
ReplyDeleteits all moneys fault :(
ReplyDeleteThis pisses me off. The primary goal of a musical act should be to be heard and do something important, not to make money.
ReplyDeletejust a symptom of the disease raging throughout music these days
ReplyDeleteHe may regret that in a few years
ReplyDeleteIf they buy it - it works. If it works - why fix what works? It's their stuff, their decision, we really can't change anything, as sad as it's becoming.
ReplyDeleteWill the music industry ever catch up to online mediums?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame really, people who don't want to change try to enact heavy restrictions to truly restrict freedom for future generations.
