Musicological banter

I'd imagine in a near future, shows will be a thing of the past unless you're hearing sweet caroline at an Irish bar in Claredon.

i imagine a future where only the Big Boys & Big Girls can tour.  if you can't charge $50 a ticket or more (preferably much, much more), and sell some minimum of number of tickets (1,000?), then your ass is staying home and maybe - just maybe - you can occasionally play a local venue (but you won't make much, because you're a local nobody who doesn't tour).  apparently the cut-off is somewhere above Camper Van Beethoven.

same ol' story of haves vs. have-nots, with the gap between them getting wider and wider.

damn that's a sad tale and not sure how anyone is going to make a living touring unless small club shows are now $75

although they signed the contract, 4 bands played and only 46 people bought tix for $15
the venue and their staff need to get paid as well, their bills don't stop either
plus people are drinking a lot less at shows (well when it costs $75 to get a buzz, I can see why)

I don’t understand why venues don’t lower beer prices and simply use kegs. What am I missing? Sorry if I am being a moron. I think they would sell a lot more and more than make up the difference. Have venues proved that beer consumption at shows is price inelastic or something?

When I first started going to 9:30 you could get a Bud bottle for $3.

People wouldn't be able to hit space in the head with bottles if it was just plastic cups.

True….

I just assume beer is cheaper to produce and put in a keg….so when I see all these bottles and cans at venues I wonder

The issue is the beer will most likely taste like shit... most places that aren't "beer" focused don't clean lines, mix styles on the same lines, etc

Its the little things we lose in the name of progress that really hurt.

Yeah I did think of that…it’s true too

Some consumers probably prefer cans and bottles

I been burnt a few times myself….

It just seems very inefficient and anti-environmental

not sure how  fusing doom, shoegaze, and sludge becomes “fairy doom", but that's description Faetooth came up with.

Def Leppard's "Rock Of Ages" begins with a voice that says "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen," which means...nothing.
Producer Mutt Lange got tired of counting the band in with "1, 2, 3, 4...," so he started saying this.

Pro tip don't call your band or self Smoke... I think the highest Smoke artist on discogs is Smoke(131)

this all came about because one of the areas Qobuz isn't so great on is artists that share the same name and for some reason it thinks of the many Smoke's is similar to Splitsville...
