    Wonder why Pool is the only one unavailable. Also, weird that Iss006 shows up as an album - maybe cause it's over 30 minutes?

    Also, fuck Spotify, and I hope Apple continues to increase both their stream payout and their ad-revenue sharing (I didn't even know Apple Music had ads?).

    He said when it was released that Pool wouldn't be coming to streaming services, it wasn't removed or anything.

    yeah literally no difference between the turntable and a piece of digital art. why is that so hard to understand for people? I'm not some sort of over-zealous freak about crypto and NFTs but there is just as much silly fuss against them as for them. The only remotely convincing argument about NFTs are the environmental impacts but now I wonder what are the embodied carbon emissions for one of those turntables vs one NFT on the ETH blockchain. I've studied co2 in shipping and supply chains for construction goods and it's never a good look to claim a digital item is somehow less "green" that one made entirely of plastic and expensive metals and shipped all over the world lol

     

    I suppose he's objecting to many speaking about NFTs on investment terms instead of artistic ones and I understand that. I would like to direct him to the art market of the last... i don't know.. 100 years? 

    Yeah literally no difference between a physical media player and a piece of digital art... Not saying the price is justified but definitely more-so that than some fucking meme or pixel art piece.

  3. "I’ve been approached several times to “make an NFT.” So far, nothing has convinced me that there is anything worth making in that arena. “Worth making” for me implies bringing something into existence that adds value to the world, not just to a bank account. If I had primarily wanted to make money, I would have had a different career as a different kind of person. I probably wouldn’t have chosen to be an artist. NFTs seem to me just a way for artists to get a little piece of the action from global capitalism, our own cute little version of financialization. How sweet — now artists can become little capitalist assholes as well…

    People I like and trust are convinced they’re the best thing since sliced bread, so I wish I could have a more positive view. But right now, I mainly see hustlers looking for suckers and lots of bright-eyed artists willing to play the latter role. Forgive my cynicism… I’m not feeling too positive right now"

    Excited to hear the new ross from friends album as well, think both these guys are awesome & aren't really lofi or gimmicky at all anymore but still keep a little of that vibe from the lofi house thing...whatever you want to call it these 2 are making some of the most enjoyable music for me right now

    They're also competing for the most cringy artist name. Love Ross From Friends though and will check this one out
