wanna see how a nytimes journalist fucked over the flashbulb (and a shit load of other artists)
pretty fucked up! https://pitchfork.com/news/did-a-pul...-of-musicians/ here's the bandcamp too, check out some of the artists featured here. I don't personally recognize most of them, presumably because they were pretty obscure to begin with and got like no promotion from this project (or the music they create is not on my stylistic radar). but the names I do recognize are pretty lol. music "inspired" by noam chomsky too lmao. https://theoutlawocean.bandcamp.com/music Last edited by flat chest choof; 12-9-2021 at 08:20 AM.. |

Re: wanna see how a nytimes journalist fucked over the flashbulb (and a shit load of other artists)
"Urbina told Pitchfork that he used his New York Times work email address to contact artists after he no longer worked there both out of habit and because it was less likely to go to musicians’ spam boxes. He argued that he’s always been clear that the project is unaffiliated with The Times."
From the email: "My name is Ian Urbina and I work for the New York Times." Later in the email, he provides a link to the New York Times to further elaborate on the project's nature. This is absolutely reprehensible stuff right here. This makes me feel especially crestfallen since Machinefabriek and Benoît Pioulard are among my favorite musicians, and to see that they got screwed out of well-earned royalties because some hack dullard with the framework of a hackneyed idea decided to be a greedy fuck is dismaying. Also, the absolute audacity to attach yourself as a co-artist on every single track is beyond appalling. I cannot fathom the kind of ego necessary to credit yourself as an artist on what is demonstrably the majority of another musician's work. The fact that he also blamed the musicians for not using the fucking Wayback Machine to do their homework on this guy is indicative of some seriously robust delusion. |

I'm just going to go turn my foot out the door on this one before I go on a long winded rant on just how fucked this is.
