Ladies (three or four of you) and gentlemen: Jeremy is an attention whore

[S. Fourteen]

And I've never denied being a hypocrite, so save your breath. Anybody that has Kobe or sexy underwear avy is an attention whore.


I hope you all have a wonderful summer or what remains of it. I hope that Casey will remember me when he's typing on his touch keyboard. I hope Duke will be published in history books in one way or another. I hope
Thank you.

 

[Casey]

Fail.

 

[Duke]

Fail.

By responding to his post, you unfailed your failing intentions.

 

[S. Fourteen]

Seriously, there's nothing to succeed.


I really do hope you'll think of salty at least once when you're typing on your touch keyboard (touch only).

Jeremy sent me a pic of himself naked and called me babe.. he is an attention whore.

 

[Casey]

Not gonna happen.

 

[S. Fourteen]

Well, that does it. I am bootlegging your shit.

The irony? That you posted an iTunes link.

Bootleg away.

I posted my thoughts about iTunes in the other forum, in our ongoing debate.

I dislike their attempted monopolisation of the digital music industry. But I'm not Bono. I can't escape the fact that most people buying digital music do so via iTunes. I may not LIKE the fact, but that's not relevant.

At the end of the day, technology and my feelings about it will always come second to my music career. If 10,000 more people buy my music because it's on iTunes, that's OK. To go on a massive mission to attempt to tell people not to buy it on iTunes and to get it somewhere else would clearly be counterproductive.

So it's not ironic at all. It's like when idiots tried to tell Rage Against The Machine that their anti-capitalist message was ironic due to them being on a major record label. Tom Morello (RATM guitarist) replied "Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because it's where people buy books."

It still sounds like you're biting the hand that feed you, though.

Not really. Most of my income doesn't even come from album sales, and even the part of it that does, iTunes is only a small portion of that.

That's possibly due to the fact that some of our biggest markets right now still buy large quantities of physical product, and I do expect this to change as we move more into the US market.

The majority of most musician's income these days is from live shows, radioplay royalties, film/TV show placements, merchandise sales, sponsorships/product placements.

Regardless, even if I made a ton of money solely through iTunes sales, it wouldn't change my opinions on Apple. Like I said before, I don't dislike Apple, I don't dislike iTunes. I dislike the iPhone and I dislike Apple's questionable business methods in certain areas.

I say supply and demand, you say monopoly.

I say exposure, you say you don't make money off it.

whatever

Explain how I get exposure simply by having my music on iTunes. There were 15 million songs put on iTunes last year, and 10 million of them never sold a single copy. I have industry friends who put their music on iTunes themselves without going through a label. It means nothing.

If people don't already know that you have new music coming out, and you don't advertise or hire a PR team to let people know that you have new music out, it's unlikely that people will randomly stumble across your music on iTunes.

Unless you pay Apple off to give you an insane amount of feature space on their front page (which many people do and I find abhorrent), there's no exposure to be had from iTunes.

I find new music on iTunes all the time because I am a fanboy and I love my iTunes.

there are at least 6 female members on this board not including thuggy

That coming from a guy who loves Prince more than Prince loves Prince.

Like I've said before - people do not know how to use iTunes. Just typing up a simple phrase in the search field could provide you with a hidden gold mine.

There's a few people out there that will tell you that that is impossible. Although post-Jehovah'sWitness-conversion Prince does not seem to like certain aspects of Pre-Jehovah'sWitness-conversion Prince, and both pre and post-Jehovah'sWitness-conversion Prince seem to have completely forgotten about the existence of the artist that was known as 0)+> , so maybe you're right.

People may not know how to use iTunes, but regardless of that, it's not known as a place for discovering new music.

 

[ARon]

Hold up, what's wrong with Kobe?

Nothing wrong with Kobe, ARon. It's Jeremy's avy.
