i try no to. i really do go out of my way to read it if/when i do.
Big Colors and Wednesdays leaks?
you have some sessions you wanna share eh?
let me get you invited to dropbox.
we donāt have much in way of ryan around here. weāre too virtuous for him now
I probably just have what you guys have. I am missing a lot of stuff when my computer crapped out in 2013
@jonestownkoolaid ahhh you got me!
@thebalvenie haha, thanks Balv! No problem ā Iām usually one of the quieter ones around here, easy to miss Iād say
Hereās a question regarding Big Colors & Wednesdays: Whatās preventing RA from just selling these digital only if itās still true Blue Note/Columbia wonāt support the vinyl releases? Unless since theyāre a distributor, that somehow means they need to sign off on a digital release too, but Iād think RA owns the copyrights to this music. If people donāt want it, donāt buy it. Otherwise, Iām sure heād make some money on doing so, and fans that want it can get it. I suppose the argument goes for Blackhole too, but oh well.
Iām sure his lawyers have told him to not make any career moves for the time being. I also donāt know how well a release right now would go over. I would guess heās waiting to either be proven innocent in this whole thing, or if heās found guilty of something, do his time and restart his career a few years down the road.
Yeah, I could certainly see that. However, in this day and age, the public will never let him ācome backā even if he was found innocent ā at least from what I can tell if those pages on FB are anything to go by, and of course the general trajectory of #metoo. Though it seems like Aziz Ansari seems to have made a ārecoveryā from such things. Of course all of this is hard to quantify given that each incident is different and as such carries different weight.
From that perspective, one might as well release the albums. Though as youāre pointing out, itās just a chance for pitchfork, rolling stone, etc. to pile on more hate in light of whatās happened.
I donāt think Iāve seen this before ā I only knew that Disco Queen, Tomorrowland (and apparently The Door and Catherine) were on the track list.
