Bitraete Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I also saw this one last night that I liked. (btw, was surprised by the 90% negative reactions. was not expecting that!) [youtubehd]sa1iS1MqUy4[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierlu Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Saw this one recently: http://youtu.be/Ks-_Mh1QhMc Quite interesting. Thanks, needed. I instintively knew that but it that's what makes me feel good about practicing kundalini yoga. Most of the times kundalini yoga poses are all about stretching yourself out, expanding and filling the space. Moreover a picture from a favourite italian comic author came to my mind... I will post it here cos I feel like everyone should know about him, Andrea Pazienza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugene Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 steve albini is a dinosaur who has absolutely nothing relevant to say in this era about music "business"/"industry" and he completely misses the point of what palmer is doing/trying to do. he should have disappeared from collective consciousness as an important figure in music a decade ago or so.

RichieBees Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 wait, i don't get it...she raised over a million dollars and then asked people to play for free? what was the million dollars for? "In May, Palmer posted a breakdown of where the $1.2m was going . She said she would use $250,000 to "pay off the lovely debt – stacks of bills and loans and the like – associated with readying all of the stuff that had to happen before I brought this project to Kickstarter". She also cited $105,000 for "7,000+ high-end CD books & thank you cards", $80,000 for art books, $15,000 to $20,000 for the visual artists, $150,000 for her manager, lawyer and other staff, $80,000 for music videos, $75,000 to $100,000 for Kickstarter and Amazon's credit card processing, and so on. "If we keep our expenses down, and keep the tour pretty practical and the video budget way down, I could probably put $100k of this in the bank personally, which would be great," she wrote – although she said she would be equally happy if she broke even as it would show her model can work." by the sounds of it she had already made the album and wanted money to release it ?

joshuatxuk Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 scientologist. nuff said. Oh wow, that's pretty surprising. Still though, doesn't make what she said useless. I didn't know either. Meh. I love Beck and Isaac Hayes and they are scientologists as well. I don't get it but I don't like singling out members of that religion over any other.

luke viia Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Palmer isn't a scientologist, lol. She just married Neil Gaiman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (Palmer is married to Neil Gaiman, who is the son of David Gaiman, who was HEAD of the U.K. branch of Scientology. maybe that's the connection? Also is this the Neil Gaiman, or another? edit: oh nevermind, it is the Neil Gaiman. Never knew his family has roots in scientology. Wonder why he married this lady, she's quite tranny.

Fuck this. Seriously. Join the crowd instead of making eye contact with them and thinking you're providing them with a "gift" by doing so: Open Bandcamp and Etsy accounts for the music and art. Release the self-described "free music" under Creative Commons and drop the fucking manager and lawyer. Call and email local and independent venues and booking agents yourself. Take care of your own fucking debt - you didn't have to go to fucking college and a lot of her peers never had the chance to anyway. I would suggest this but she'd probably say she feels sorry for me and call me the artsy theatrical equivalent of "being a hater." As an alternative to Amanda's outlook or anything Albini says, here's an attitude toward making music I relate to more and agree with (@6:23) Both Fenriz and Nocturno Culto have day jobs and refuse to tour because it would be inherently oriented toward making money off of their music. They refuse to mix their means of making a living with their personal artistic output so they never feel like the have to make music or tour to pay the bills. I don't think their extreme take is the only way to do things, but I do find it a lot more honest and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
