who is Bob Lefsetz?

old man yells at (the) cloud

i'm the most out of touch person in creation and even i've heard of all those people except lil uzi vert

so... i guess i'm not the most out of touch person in creation

just heard lil uzi vert on the radio in the car, idk what planet lef is on now

a better planet, one we will never know

can you really blame a man for not knowing or caring about the newest lil whoever

otoh Drake..

...or Sheeran, given his obsession with La Swift, or the fact he was just on the cover of Rolling Stone.

site:lefsetz.com "ed sheeran"

"Drake is a party of one atop the pop/urban heap and he’s the beneficiary of attention, people are interested in what he does, they’ll spend time checking it out, and they’ve got almost no time for anything else." -- lefsetz, less than a month ago

Lef's def got his finger on the pulse, it's a shame pop/urban acts like Beyonce, Rhianna, and Future have to labor in obscurity

It's not that you can't reach us, it's that we don't CARE!

Even worse, if you overload us, we go on backlash.

Kinda like Mac DeMarco... I knew the name, but there was an exquisite article on him in yesterday's "Times," saying how he gave out his address so his fans could stop by, and it made me wonder, who was his publicity agent? Getting into the "Times" is so hard.

It's Jessica Linker at Pitch Perfect PR. But if you use her beware. Now I HATE MAC DEMARCO!

sweet, I was missing the "weird namedropping of female industry figures" bingo square

I bet $1 million he tried to get into some show or event and wasn't on the list and pulled the "don't you know who I am?" card and she was like "uh who?"

who is anthony fantano

Do they have beef now or something?

afaict AF has escalated his tactic of pissing off as many people as possible in order to get clicks

It's just you and me, arguing, going to bed looking at the ceiling wondering...

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

"Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago"

What should have been long ago? Upgrading your mobile phone? Posting to Instagram?

It’s the new “Blurred Lines,” but the role of Emily Ratajkowski is played by Zuleya Rivera, and she keeps her clothes on!

But that does not mean you can take your eyes off her.

How did this happen?

MILLENNIALS!

The classic acts are irrelevant. Do you even know that Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have a new album? They're much more famous than all the acts on the top of the chart, but they haven't even reached six digits on all tracks but one on Spotify.

does he seriously think that buckingham and mcvie are still more famous than kendrick lamar or justin bieber?

beginning to think i'm 40 years younger than lef's target audience.

this whole letter was just super weird. why is he so shocked that the most popular songs of the day are the ones that appeal to young people instead of balding nebbishes like him?

hard to quantify but nearly every baby boomer--the largest generation--is familiar with the Mac

right, but boomers are just gonna keep listening to those classic records. most boomers who were active music consumers back then have long checked out

it's a dumb point--if it were all about Q rating among the boomer set, then Paul McCartney's New would've been the biggest album of two thousand and whatever

there is really not much relation between fame and sales of new records. Almost everyone knows who Chuck Berry is but I doubt his posthumous album is going to sell 50 million copies this week.

xpost

guy whose whole persona is 'entitled jerk' in being an entitled jerk shocker?

don't know what's going on anymore. I'm sitting on the crapper reading my phone and freaking

Bob Lefsetz is all of us.

it's been said before but

new board description

fuckin xpost

I'm paranoid, crappin with my finger on the twitter

Hey, Bob, would you please go on the r—

Ask me to go on the road and do the same thing 150 times in a row and there's no way

He stays at home and blogs the same thing 150 times, so...

I have a morning ritual. I wake up, unplug my phone, go to the bathroom, sit on the throne and check my e-mail, my Twitter feed and then the news, in that order.

I've grossed you out.

omg the paragraph right after that

it offends me that this guy has ever been paid anything to voice, state, or elaborate on any opinion he holds

No coffee before shit? Impressive

No shirt either I'd wager.

interesting that he calls his poop "the news"

My place is a dump. No one can come in.

Soderbergh thought he was smarter than the industry, he only spent half the usual marketing dollars, $20 million instead of $40 million. And he’s going on about how the film is in profit and other hogwash

something deeply sad about that new column, I think our Bob has entered his bitter phase

imo when people really attached to the status quo start spouting gibberish about how you didn't really succeed because you didn't do all the things they deem correct ($40 million on marketing!) then you might be doing just fine

something deeply sad about that new column, I think our Bob has entered his bitter phase

Entered??

Get out of your dirty house, Lefs.

And as I was descending the staircase I said to myself...I NEED TO COME TO THE SOHO HOUSE MORE OFTEN!

Then again, Taylor Swift is a woman of her times. Embattled, self-righteously taking on all detractors, just like the President.

And by pointing this out I'm seen as part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution.

But someone has to stand up for truth.

And I'm not worrying about payback, SHE ALREADY WROTE A SONG ABOUT ME!

Ask Pete Townshend if he still hopes he dies before he gets old. He IS old, and he LIKES IT!

Although I always found stretchy material to be somewhat see-through, undies visible, but I didn't think too much about it.
