Funny you should ask jaymc, I got my first detailed royalty statement yesterday. Matos, you around? I declare a competition!

Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Friday, 19 November 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I like that your new e-mail address also effectively answers the thread question.

Sanjay McDougal (jaymc), Friday, 19 November 2004 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahah.

(Hey wait a minute, I'm writing a piece for PSF that was assigned by someone else, what's going on here?)

Chris Ott to save Leeds United!

This is still the funniest thing I've ever posted on ILM.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:00 (twenty-one years ago)

They nearly asked me to intervene when Thaksin went after Liverpool, Dom, but cooler heads prevailed.

Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

that's pretty funny, dom.

man city, INDIE AS FUXXXOR

The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

well, i was thinking charleton (by default), i kinda picked them up when i was going out with a girl from there...

chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

How are Man City indie?

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Because Mark E. Smith and Mark Burgess are fans.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, so are the Gallagher Brothers, so that pretty much disqualifies Man City as the indie team.

hiphopster8 (hiphopster8), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Owing to my established-by-Jess inability to "get out of the '90s," I still root for the Spurs.

Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

You just lost all of your Anglophile points for calling them "the Spurs".

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

they're also one of the few teams to have beaten chelsea this year, a true indie-dork would cheer for like gateshead, or something...

this dude's fueds with ilx were lol.

velko, Friday, 13 February 2009 18:49 (seventeen years ago)

he seems like one of those guys who when he was younger kinda wanted to be "in" and never got there, so he got a little misanthropic, and that caused people to push him aside more, which caused him to be more misanthropic, and on and on, and now his existence boils down to picking fights with the girlfriends of indie rockers.

that was pretty great tho

happy house of representatives (J0rdan S.), Friday, 13 February 2009 18:54 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I could finally cheer Ott on for the first time in my life during that ordeal.

i hardly ever watch online videos for more than a couple minutes, and I watched that entire thing.

Poliopolice, Thursday, 3 January 2013 03:38 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, I don't like his writing, but his videos are strangely compelling. He doesn't come across like the person I imagined him to be.

afriendlypioneer, Thursday, 3 January 2013 16:16 (thirteen years ago)

Really liked that video, and hope it goes on to more parts. The playlist associated with it is nice to have as well...

dlp9001, Friday, 4 January 2013 21:05 (thirteen years ago)

hope it goes on to more parts

It's continued in part 25. But yeah, I hope there are more parts beyond these two.

He was gonna write for that web publication Uncool, but it failed to get enough kickstarter funding.

curmudgeon, Friday, 4 January 2013 22:05 (thirteen years ago)

I've really enjoyed the videos. Seems like he found his format. More power to him.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 4 January 2013 22:10 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, Im hooked on these videos.

Old Boy In Network (Michael B), Friday, 4 January 2013 23:35 (thirteen years ago)

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/215323358/deep-sea-shallow-rewards

A former writer for Pitchfork and the Village Voice, and the author of both a self-published eBook and a 33 1/3 title on Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, Chris Ott now produces an online video series called Shallow Rewards, viewable at shallowrewards.com

With airfare to Miami, hotel stays on either side of the cruise, and an onboard junior suite to double as an artist interview room, $10,000 should cover all associated expenses.

This cruise is an opportunity to engage with a number of very successful artists from the last generation of musicians to profit from physical media and the pre-digital music industry. With personal and academic commentary from the author, as well as indeterminate contributions from the artists and organizers, the ensuing book should be a rich summary of the myriad sea changes (yessssss) brought about by the Internet.

Possibly bullshit google results.

One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Monday, 19 October 2015 16:08 (ten years ago)

sites like Celebrity Net Worth are total speculation and even the estimated worth of celebrities that Forbes publishes don't seem to be much better

some dude, Monday, 19 October 2015 16:19 (ten years ago)

only way to know for sure is to troll a person into bragging about their wealth. then knock it down 10%.

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 19 October 2015 16:28 (ten years ago)

add back 10% for bennies, though

I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Monday, 19 October 2015 16:29 (ten years ago)

ott only makes $84,600?

nomar, Monday, 19 October 2015 16:31 (ten years ago)

he explicitly stated the bennies

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 19 October 2015 16:31 (ten years ago)

he makes so much money that he needed to crowdfund a podcast, because podcasts are so expensive to produce

some dude, Monday, 19 October 2015 16:38 (ten years ago)

just the pod will run you 25k

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 19 October 2015 17:19 (ten years ago)

thought it was 94K plus bennies...also that was probably quoting 2 years ago, so assuming even a 4% type cost of living bump for 2 years

he could be at over 98K plus bennies, however it's possible that that's been offset by rising health care premiums post ACA

i don't know, lots to think about

Comme Si, Kamasi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 14:15 (ten years ago)

4% damn son

adam, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 14:38 (ten years ago)

this is the ott we're talking about man c'mon gotta pay to play

Comme Si, Kamasi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:10 (ten years ago)

my daughter has a little friend named Benny and I think about Ott's bennies every time he comes over. which is nice.

tylerw, Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:11 (ten years ago)

i always think of benzedrine

I named my son 94K because you have to dream

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Tuesday, 20 October 2015 15:33 (ten years ago)

Maybe Ott has two little friends both named Benny?

I can just imagine little 94K Bennie Keyes running around the playground, talking shit about Best Coast for doing a Scion sponsored club show

what is he actually up to nowadays?

marblesurf, Saturday, 20 November 2021 03:41 (four years ago)

enjoying those bennies

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 20 November 2021 03:43 (four years ago)

looks like he has an infrequently updated podcast about the cure and that's about it

ufo, Saturday, 20 November 2021 03:58 (four years ago)

the less online presence he has the better obv

ufo, Saturday, 20 November 2021 03:59 (four years ago)

i actually managed to join his semi unofficial discord server once i caught a livestream. there were a fair deal of people considering how elusive the whole thing was, they weren't that friendly to newcomers like myself though. i actually had to send my rym account to an admin in order to "prove i was a real person" but come on that was obv to judge if my music taste was good enough lol.

i like some of the shallow rewards videos, mostly because i'm more interested in critics talking about the music industry as a whole rather than trying to sell me why an album is good/bad. if anyone knows any other critic that does this i'd be glad to hear

marblesurf, Saturday, 20 November 2021 13:58 (four years ago)

ott's analysis of the industry sucks though & regularly would delve into conspiratorial nonsense

ufo, Saturday, 20 November 2021 13:59 (four years ago)

oh and also the two rules of the server were 1: NO FANTANO and 2: NO CARETAKER whoch i think is super fair

marblesurf, Saturday, 20 November 2021 14:00 (four years ago)

he bought a CD off me via discogs last year.

akm, Saturday, 20 November 2021 16:57 (four years ago)
