rolling #metoo thread for sexual harassment in the music industry so no one misses out when artists we don't give a fuck about like Tim Westwood and Bassnectar get caught

Let's just say the one with a (possibly) unfortunately titled track #7 on a breakthrough record.

I don't know any more than that, or what the specific accusations are, but I'm confident I saw the same "source is rock solid" note as birdistheword.

another forum? I'm not buying it

omg the speculation can it stop?!

This is starting to feel disturbingly like an anticipation thread

Put it in 77 you lame

assuning paulie has some terrible opinions on this subject i'd prefer were not elaborated

Not at all. I'm disgusted every time these stories break, whether I care about the artist or not. I'm just not giddy about the prospect of hearing about more of them.

The first time I saw Neko Case, opening for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, she said, from the stage, she would make out with the first person who bought merch.

CBC spokesperson confirms in a statement that CBC Music is pulling Arcade fire music. 'In light of the recent allegations against Win Butler, CBC Music will pause on playing Arcade Fire's music until we learn more about the situation.' BG: https://t.co/EyUy5Hjjkm

xp what's your point

Please don't be Dan Bejar

My point is that speculation is absurd.

Clues above obviously referring to BSS... guess we'll see what happens

I was momentarily afraid that we were talking about a totally different Kanadian* band with a fluctuatingly large number of members.

Please don't be Dan Bejar

Nope, don't you worry the Freedom Convoy is still going strong!

lol

If we're naming Canadian bands with many members it could also be Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Library Voices

Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl. Yeesh...

I LOATHE an unsolicited dick pic, your boner can wait the minute it takes to ask "can I send an explicit picture" and receive a reply, and anyone who isn't willing to do that work is someone I will assume is bad at consent and should stay away from.

A guy I've been seeing intermittently for months will send private Instagram messages of his cock and rim jobs and -- it grosses me out? He's also much younger, probably unaware of the impression he makes. It's partially my fault for tolerating it.

Ok I have to know. What’s this other forum mentioned? I want to go there.

it is pretty fucked up to post ‘well, i don’t want to straight-up name an abuser, but here are several hints’

do you want props for being ‘in the know’? well, kudos

grab that clout i guess

Well kudos to your cheap cynicism for feeding a smug sense of superiority.

But regardless of original intent, it did set off a lot of unhelpful speculation so yeah I wish I held off on posting.

I don't know if calling out blind item nonsense is cheap cynicism.

Clearly the social environment, or scene I suppose, is in need of repair.

“Ok I have to know. What’s this other forum mentioned? I want to go there.”

Me too.

Request Access to 77 Borad

Not that anyone is speculating on there, or that they should, but that's where you ask to join the private board

That’s not the forum in question afaik

Oh I thought it was another music forum and got interested. No intention to join the ilxorminatti.

Wait there’s a secret/elite ILX board?? holy shit lol

better to think of it as the ungoogleable board, also what a fuckin derail

There’s a new Velvet Rope-style industry board? I’d love to go there.

Wait, by "Velvet Rope" do you mean the Portland swingers' club or something else?

Probably where all ILM poll results are decided by the arbiters of good or sometimes not-so-good taste

why are we doing a round of misplaced 77 outrage on this thread?

bc by and large the men on this board don't know how to fuckin act

I'd join a secret Janet Jackson Velvet Rope thread tbh

It’s pretty well known at this point, but back to the topic:

https://www.disasterserum.com/your-favorite-rockstar-is-probably-a-creep

I mean, if those are your favourite rockstars, sure

I had never seen that video of RHCP before. They continue unscathed even when Kiedis himself admits to sleeping with an underage girl in his bio. I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch of shit to be dug out.

A guy I worked with told me he was once in a record store when two of the Peppers came in, bouncing up and down--groped every woman in the shop and then bounced out.

He's one of the skeeziest presences in music history. I find it absurd when people handwavingly go on about how all rockstars are basically at it, as though this means you either have to condemn them all or tolerate their shitty behaviour. Even when it isn't practically on the surface (hello Kiedis), it isn't endemic. Whether through luck or judgement, virtually no artist I really like has ever, to public knowledge, been an abuser, groomer, pest. Scott Kelly in fact is among the very first, and see the uncompromising way the rest of the band have rightly treated him! We shouldn't EXPECT male musicians to be creeps imo. If we do, there's more of a chance they'll live down to those expectations.

But then I am an innocent lamb who couldn't possibly conceive of why someone would send an unsolicited dick pic, both for moral and aesthetic reasons, so idk

Public condemnation and legal action should deter them from being creeps.

If we continue celebrating the life and music they create without consequence there’s a chance they’ll live down to those expectations.
