Stripping it Down
As an industry insider, whining, while overrated, is mandatory. So here goes: radio sucks, labels are greedy, people have no taste, musicians are short on talent, and yes, Ticketmaster is demonic. Wah, wah, wah.
That’s the gig.
Certainly, it can be exhausting to read (I too get the Lefsetz Letter — often what seems like 10 times a week).
Part of it is because when you’re trying to perpetuate an idea, you have to hit people over the head again and again. Repetition breeds recognition, right? Advertising 101.
And not to get all freaky-deaky on you but I’ve also read The Secret. It’s true. Constantly complaining? That shit is toxic.
Admittedly, Lord knows I can hem and haw with the best of them. Today, I just don’t feel like it.
Instead, two things:
1. For Artists/CEOs
Why Bigger Goals = Less Competition. I’ve mentioned Tim Ferris’ book before. Entrepreneurial enlightenment in roughly 300 pages.
2. For Fans
What do Fat Boy Slim, David Byrne, Dizzee Rascal, and Atari have in common?
Cathartic.
