Recording artists have been bleeding record labels dry for years. How many times do we have to hear the stories of talented artists living lives of luxury based on the royalties they earn, while the good-hearted, selfless owners of record labels sleep in the subway?

This has got to stop.

Finally, the music industry is taking steps to take back control.

Wow, I actually enjoyed the Courtney Love article. who knew?

xoxo Rev. Jack

I concur with the Reverend. That was a very articulate and well thought out argument from Ms. Love. And the nod to David Foster Wallace! Again, who knew? Nice post, Sysm.

My conclusion is that working artists need to be better business people.

courtney love is a very smart woman when she is sober. people underestimate her, and really, that's a mistake.

she may be a hot mess, but she gets it done. she's like donald trump, but cracked out and sort of slutty.

I saw in interview that Carrie Fisher did with Courtney Love and I was quite impressed.
Damn the man!

this is more depressing than jolly. BUt less depressing than the last one.

Solomon Grundy want pants too!

1. The only reason anyone could feel sorry for Suge Knight is that nobody feels sorry for him.

2. Congratulations on being the first blogger ever to link Courtney Love and Petula Clark in the same sentence.

3. I find it comforting that Joe Pernice sorts his whites into neat little pile — so much so, in fact, that I've plunge myself into a Pernice Brothers buying spree on iTunes.

Courtney is the Hillary Clinton of rock. Run with that.

Rev - she's one sharp, junkie, silicon cookie.

re: - I love a good concur.

Miss K - if Courtney didn't act like a dipshit so much, she'd be much more beloved. She's done in her own reputation.

Miss Knit - I think both of those women are funny, brilliant and lovely. When sober.

Nick - you want jolly? How 'bout this?

Doctor - the Petula Clark was just for you, of course.

You know what I blame on you? Younger falls asleep to Tchaikovsky every night. Her CD wore out, so Dilf made her a new one. It includes his "Sleeping Beauty" ballet. So you know what ended up at the tail end of the disc? Wink Martindale, which caused her to awake in fright, yelling, "Who is that man? Why is he talking to me?"

I hope you're happy.

Ubie - glad to keep doing my part.

I liked the Courtney Love article better when Steve Albini wrote it first. But that's just me.
