Possibly Long COVID symptoms? I remember reading a few years ago about scented candles (or something like that) suddenly getting review-bombed by people complaining that they weren’t scented much, if at all.

They.

A hotdog would be the opposite of a cold cat. Or were you thinking of a warmdog?

Okay, Jonathan.

Can’t vouch for the subgenre as a whole, but it sounds like Alt. Country/Americana largely contains stuff you’d like.

O-E-O

Mocha heard that.

Vedder said do better.

I get the joke, but what they said doesn’t necessary imply that they canned it themselves (think “homemade”).

How about the power… to move you?

In the beginning the studios even tried to hide who the actors were, crediting them under character names owned by the studio. Some of the biggest stars of the day started United Artists offering artists more freedom and recognition, and the studios eventually realized that by letting the actors be known as people, their celebrity (and sometimes even scandal) would actually generate interest in movies.

Zoom in to the sky.

I’d say you got photobombed by a bunch of penguins.

I should note that we still got more of this stuff thanks to the regular web, mostly from the early 2000s onward, once digital tools for creating and sharing got better and cheaper. But yeah, mainstream modern platforms with content matching do make sharing more complicated.

All good! Yeah, the wild west days of sampling really showed the art we could have had if sampling was licensed like song covers are.

With all due respect, this couldn’t be wrong-er. Copyright just wasn’t enforced on sampling back in the Beasie Boys’ heyday, it really wasn’t on people’s radar yet. You’ll hear people say “There’s no way you could make [seminal hip-hop album] today!” due to how much it would cost to clear all the samples that went into something like Paul’s Boutique or Three Feet High and Rising.

ooo-ooo

Please point to the words where I blamed the consumer. Feel free to use your system’s copy and paste functionality, if that makes it easier to share the words in question.

Because as far as I can tell, there are two components to my comment:

1. The part where I made the clear that I’m not defending this. (“Not to defend this”)
2. The part where I shared information that might be helpful for someone who already owns one of these. (Everything else!)

Thanks! I await your reply.

In case you’re actually concerned with my credentials in this area, I’m a person who’s quoting the article.
