A short intermission of delicate French language music played before Nataly Dawn and Ryan Lerman hooked arms in the back of the room and marched the slow, wedding processional steps through the aisle of chairs towards the stage.
Oh fuck you.

it reads a bit like the marilyn hagerty olive garden review
Nataly closed fitfully with an utterly romantic and transforming performance of “La Vie En Rose,” the signature song of French singer Édith Piaf. Nataly gave her a run for her francs (euros, now) to be sure. The audience smiled, swayed, laughed and gently sighed as they leaned into their partners.

Patreon — which is set to launch on May 7 — was born out of Conte’s belief that there are some inherent problems with the way YouTubers get paid and how they fund their projects. According the musician, ad revenue doesn’t really amount to too much for YouTubers who don’t have scads of subscribers, and raising cash on Kickstarter doesn’t really work either because they’re not looking to fund a huge project — they’re just aiming to keep creating.“I just feel like there’s something broken there and there should be a way that someone with 10,000 readers or viewers can be making more money and make a living on what they’re doing,” Conte says.In an effort to solve this issue, Conte teamed up with his old college roommate, developer Sam Yam, to bootstrap together a new kind of platform that echoes the role of patrons of old.Patreon works thusly: When you sign up for the service, you will be able to become a patron of a particular artist — for example, Conte himself. Instead of pledging money to a single project — or subscribing to the service on a monthly basis — you pledge to give, say, one dollar to Conte for each video he uploads. The artist then rewards his/her patrons for how much they give. In Conte’s case, if you give $1 per video, you get access to a special stream with Conte where he gives tutorials and whatnot. If you give $5 or more, you get the stream, as well as a monthly Google hangout during which Conte will perform and answer questions. No matter how much you give, however, the initial content will not be exclusive — anyone can watch/read/listen to it.“The point of this whole thing is that it’s not exclusive,” Conte stresses. “The idea is basically that content is free and we almost have to act as if recorded media isn’t around anymore. Before recorded media was around, how did artists make money? They had these wealthy patrons — the Medici family and Pope Julius. I feel like it can still work that way. Especially now that you can diffuse the patronage over the crowd, instead of it just being one wealthy person.” Patreon, in turn, takes 5% of money given to artists for operational expenses.At launch, the site will feature a limited number of artists with more being added as the days wear on. (Conte says artists will be handpicked from submissions for the time being.) Conte himself will have an offer up on the site to promote his new EP, which will be free at launch on his page.

Just found Pomplamoose is coming to the Beachland in Cleveland on Sept. 19. The temptation to go ironically is great.

An odd comparison just came to me: the deconstructed synth-pop covers with deadpan female vocals thing that Pomplamoose traffic in reminded me of Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin.

I'm not sure why I like their stuff and find Pomplamoose so incredibly irritating, though.

No matter how much time and effort they put into their videos they still have no charisma at all.

I don't know why all music videos don't end with two minutes of the artists just straight-up talking into the camera thanking people and plugging their tour dates.

While I don't exactly *like* them, in the sense that I never find myself actively wanting to listen to them other than in the context of "what the fuck are they up to this time," they are kind of ingenious. I can't help but admire them a little in spite of all their insufferability.
