"We used to stop and listen to subway buskers, now we're too busy looking at pdfs on our Blackberries to even look up...wanna be a busker? good luck, because there's a better and more talented busker and every stop -- and they aren't looking for spare change - they want exposure, just like everyone else. The music business used to be about LISTEN TO THIS now its about LOOK AT ME and today's listeners have more things to look at then ever"

Sundays with Lefsetz...
Max Martin, you're the only one who can save us, along with a bunch of other expats, foreigners like DJ Snake and Mark Ronson, the people who make the hits, you're under the spotlight, you've got to write the track.All you wannabes looking for publicity, we don't need you. Unless you're gonna do cover versions of the hit track. We need the people who make the Spotify Top 50, because they've got the greatest reach, they're the ones people are truly listening to.

Lefsetz has been reading too much Saramago and is infatuated with the comma splice
Kid Rock and Ted Nugent are lining up, paragons of the past, do you see them anywhere on the Spotify Top 50, nowhere close, and youâll probably get a couple of country acts too, brain dead singers of othersâ songs who oftentimes are racist underneath it all, then again, some of the biggest country acts rap, isnât that confounding, hell, Florida Georgia Line made massive hits integrating the urban sound, even Luke Bryan does it too, whatâs up?

Thatâs when Wham! first resonated for me. I woke up after the first night with my ex-wife and âWake Me Up Before You Go Goâ was playing on the MTV. When that channel defined the culture, with a power not seen since. We Americans were still trying to figure out the transition from classic rock. We thought we killed disco, but we did not know what came next. Then the Brits came along and stole our lunch, not only Soft Cell and Human League, but Culture Club and George Michael. The sensibility was different. It was not about being coolly attached to what once was, but throwing out the baby with the bathwater and starting anew. Pop was no longer a dirty word. Synthesizers were as important as guitars. Limits were being tested and the acts seemed to be having so much fun, we found them irresistible.

Debbie Reynolds RIP
First of all, there's touch. And sex. After all, we're animals. Try and hug someone every day, not in a perfunctory way, but in a style more conscious, like life is hard but at least you have each other. My parents never touched me growing up, could be a fifties thing, I don't know, and I struggle with flesh on flesh, but I do know when done right touch roots me, and you.

The biggest act in the business is Adele, and although she faltered with "25," her previous album, "21," outsold its competition by a factor of ten.
If Lefsetz thinks that selling 8 million copies is faltering, then he clearly doesn't have a Soundscan account

hmmmmm. He seems to think every musician is on a big, old-school corporate label:
My inbox fills up with both the famous and infamous, the known and the irrelevant, bitching about Spotify payments, they think the Swedish company is the devil. They believe Daniel Ek got rich off the backs of musicians and this wrong must be righted, that there will be no harmony until he is dethroned and the service pays them a higher rate.
But Spotify is already paying out 69%+ of its revenues.
Whatâs the truth?
Youâre being screwed by the label. And Spotify canât say this, because the labels are their partners.
Of course thereâs more to the story. Songwriters are getting the shaft, they are getting a lesser percentage than they deserve. And marginal artists are getting a tiny share of the pie. But assuming youâre playing for real, that people are actually listening to your music, that itâs not just posted on Spotify and hanging out in darkness, if you want to get paid cut out the middleman.
