who is Bob Lefsetz?

irl lol

this "disruption" post is just a dropped pile of neolib oblique strategies

Enterprise topples when it does its job too well.

Major corporations ran from hip-hop, now they embrace it.

You don’t start outside as a supernova, you evolve there, via trial and error.

Who will sacrifice themselves for the good of today’s music industry?

An individual has incredible power. A scene can be monolithic.

It will happen.

Now the focus is on art.

Can today’s majors fold?

Because it happened before, many times.

Like I said, the forebears will probably get screwed. But when the leader of a new sound breaks down the walls, a lot of players could come through.

Kind of like in EDM.

It’s only a matter of getting started.

And then...

But it will.

That first line in his Springsteen live review that he just posted...

lol
also this which sounds like a pretty terrible 1st date
And on my first date with my ex-wife I played “Candy’s Room” at full blast.

Here’s where I whip out my pedigree.

Hey Lefsetz, can you talk more about Robin, because she sound interesting...

she had big boobs, the rest is just dust in the wind

We haven't had those boobs here since 1969...

if she had played her cards right, she could've been boobs lefsetz

This dude just haaates artists

Feel like Lef is in a bad place right now

You know what brings you back, again and again, to Bob Lefsetz? It's the PASSION. Oh, you can try to stay away. You can subscribe to a million other blogs. You can tell yourself that music's changed, or that you've changed, or that you don't understand anymore. But you know what? It's not that you've got older - it's that your generation has lost touch! They've SOLD OUT. And it's the KIDS on the INTERNET with thei iPods and their Blackberries who are reminding you why you got into this WHOLE CRAZY FUCKING BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. It's the MUSIC! Oh, you can tell yourself it isn't. BUT IT IS. And if you don't listen, you and every other exec LEECHING off the hindquarters of a MEMORY is going to BITE THE FUCKING DUST!

feel like that's the remnant of an earlier lefsetz; in the late style all the passion's in the graf breaks

Welcome to the 21st century 2007 2011 2016. Wherein the youngsters get it and the oldsters are scratching their heads.

Women are specialists in this, hating you after loving you, while you’re still involved. Men eventually get there, but it takes much longer, usually after you’ve broken up. And it’s especially bad when you’re trying to please them, it almost works against you, you evidence weakness and they pounce all over it.

lefsetz and brooks should do like a super team-up

I don't think anybody in the younger generation relies on "Rolling Stone," if they read it at all.

It's probably unsavable.

But first they came for the record stores.

Now they've come for "Rolling Stone."

As for the vinyl revival… There’s an over-trumpeted phenomenon if there ever was one. It’s like saying there’s a furniture revival because of “Antiques Roadshow.”

Ummmm... Did people stop buying furniture and I missed it? Or so they just sit on the floor and listen to Spotify

Want to get ahold of me? I'm free after midnight, in the morning I'm unavailable, or as I tell everybody who wants to have a hit and run meeting, that's what breakfast is for, NO! As in I NEVER go to breakfast, it wasn't until my nutritionist insisted that I even ATE breakfast, I don't remember my mother ever waking up and making it for me, I believed it was superfluous, except every once in a while my dad did come home with glazed donuts.

concur w/upper mississippi, Lef's wandered off into a pretty dark corner of his infinite Self

dude is missing out on breakfast, one of the best meals imo

"Want to get ahold of me? I'm free after midnight, in the morning I'm unavailable": Bob Lefsetz or The Weeknd?

Lef can't feel his face
His tech industry disruption fortune cookie bullshit artist analog Seth Godin has been getting weird as well

Where is Adele today? There’s zero buzz.

also, paul mccartney, pls call lefsetz, stat. he has some thoughts on how to promote your next album.

Paul McCartney could have a scavenger hunt in Liverpool, both physical and virtual, testing people’s knowledge of the Beatles and his solo career.

it's a shame that adele didn't call lefsetz before her career went down the toilet.

where is adele today?

*goes to billboard charts*

well, the chart highlights list her as "greatest gainer" having gone up to #9, and as their "pacesetter"

so her album's stalled but it's going... up the charts?

that mccartney bit is primo lefsetz

Of course Megyn Kelly is attractive. More than that. Not the toppermost, but way damn up there, even if she was aided by plastic surgery. But that does not mean she has talent, that does not mean she deserves accolades, that does not mean her coronation sits well with so many of us.

not the toppermost!

but way damn up there!

And we scored this interview a zero. Maybe a two on an absolute scale.

And the American way is the true believer rugged individual, who goes off into the wilderness to make something of themselves, not beholden to usual strictures, an inspiration for the rest of us.

paging horatio alger

dying @ maybe a two on an absolute scale

guess there's still a possibility that megyn kelly's attractiveness on an absolute scale is in fact the toppermost

the absolute toppermost!

she's a melody to a symphony by strauss

is that an absolute melody or just a regular one?

neil strauss?

henceforth rating albums on a scale from zero to two on an absolute scale. the beatles are two, taylor swift is one, everybody else is zero

People in the UK are pissed off with having
Some eurocrats who are anonymous and dictating the future of the U.K.
This doesn't happen in the states
So I would say you don't really understand the British frustration
It's nothing like the changes in the music biz.
I won't go in about it because that's just how it is Period.

The fuck...I hope that is real

It is -- Lefsetz Mailbag!

I'd like some of that Hillary speech money.

Used to be about the music. Used to be a great track was known by everybody. Used to be your image was secondary to your tunes.

Not anymore!

crazy newfangled MTV videos ruined everything IMO

Have you heard? Have you heard? Trump is gonna beat Hillary because of Twitter - Bob Lefsetz
