That level of financial disregard can only stem from an unflinching belief in what you’re creating.

well, glad we cleared that up, then

I feel like the person who made those geico commercials doesn't get that the punchline comes at the end of the joke

Let me tell you how much it cost: $150,000.

Uh.

poor girl, with expenses like that she might have to move out of sonoma (or wherever).

a $150K recording budget wouldn't be crazily large for a big label artist, even a minor one.

at least it wouldn't have been back in the day, i don't know what it's like now.

150K does sound a bit high for an indie release, and it doesn't help that I fucking hate pomplamousse, but if it were an artist I like, maybe that artist is trying to achieve something that costs more money to achieve, and maybe that's worth it. Christ, how much did Steely Dan records cost to make, and were they not worth every penny? I cringe at the idea of them having to crowdfund -- "What the fuck, do these assholes really need like 50 different top studio guys on one record?" YES, they do need it, and they are assholes for it.

i quite enjoy that almost two years on the rolling pomplamoose thread still doesn't have 'pomplamoose' in the title. i personally find it by searching for 'insufferable'.

also i guess someone should tell owen p and other working musicians on that other thread that they have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to funding a career in music. :/

You have no idea how much it costs to make an album, let alone put together a show of the magnitude Amanda is attempting.

Shhhh, no one tell her that Pink Floyd was a thing once.

I like how she neglects to mention that she herself been signed by Nonesuch, who are affiliated with a Major label, and were perhaps more than happy to take this solo album (and financial burden in excelis) off her hot little hands.

Oh, I see now she did allude to that, but I gave up before hitting that point.

fuck ukulele

;(

she needs to lay off the italics and/or block capitals

lol you cant even buy a ticket to their show without them begging for "tips"

A tip? They didn't give me a refill nor did they bring me my burrito in a timely fashion!

"And you have no idea how insulting it is to her – not just as an artist, but as a phenomenal entrepreneur – that you are questioning her spending."

phenomenal entrepreneur

Yes, it's true folks. Ivory and I are splitting up. It's really sad. I'm really sad. I think you may have been able to tell in some recent songs. It's going to be a hard road ahead for me, but I know that this is the right decision and that eventually we'll both be happier in the end.

can I just

she pulls out a bari clarinet

waht

omg I did not see that they posted the lyrics and chord progression

F Gm
I want to have kids
F Am
And I really don't
F Gm C
I wish that she would someday
Dm C
But I really won't F Bb
So we've got to break up
Dm C
It's the only way
Cause I will resent her
And that's not fair
Bb
We still care about each other
C
But this train has stopped
Dm C
We just needed you to know F
That we've got to break up

And breaking up's a mess
So please be there for us
You don't have to choose
Though it'll be awkward, yes
Invite us to your parties
We will work it out
Don't feel weird
We love all of you
After 5 whole years
By each other's side
There are just somethings
No relationship can survive

I wanna have babies
I don't wanna

I wanna have babies
I don't wanna have babies
Couple of babies
I don't want to have any
Couple of babies
no
