Good for Nirvana, but that was over 30 years ago. If it was that easy, every developing artist on a major would do it. PS. What teenager from Missouri signing to a major has an accountant to consult? Unless their parents are guiding, which guessing Chappell’s — a vet and a nurse — didn’t.

The guy who wrote this is clearly trying to argue “logic” by pointing out that labels are businesses, not “charities” and therefore don’t owe artists healthcare. Except an actual logical approach would be that it BENEFITS labels to invest in artists’ health if they expect to make money from them.

here's a much better piece on the issues Chappell raised re: healthcare and musicians. written by @ethanmillman.bsky.social, feat conversations with @umaw.bsky.social, @futureofmusic.bsky.social and more. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

that nymag piece on the maga dopes is nightmare fuel written by someone who clearly wishes they could be so bold with their dumbassery... but on the bright (?) side it's inspiring some banger comments

From the archives: David Lynch discussing his 2011 album ‘Crazy Clown Time’ 🤍

submitted 37 days ago • 1 comment

Among many other things, David Lynch understood that there was evil lurking beneath the fabric of America. He knew how evil the atomic bomb was, and what kind of evil. I think often about episode 8 of the Return, about the creation of a metaphysical evil that stretches backwards and forwards in time

“I believe life is a continuum, and that no one really dies, they just drop their physical body and we'll all meet again, like the song says. It's sad but it's not devastating if you think like that... It's a continuum, and we're all going to be fine at the end of the story.” — David Lynch

100% this. A NY Mag subscription right now is 60% off. It's $1 for four weeks. Doing a piece like the Gaiman article takes an intense amount of time from a ton of people, and only with financial support can investigations like this continue to happen.

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”
