TIDAL: We are having an important meeting with important people.

We must gather together the musicians who have changed the world with our songs.
We must sit in a room and have a #roundtable discussion, where we just ‘have a conversation.’
We are tired of Spotify, Google, Youtube, Beats By Dre and other scalable mechanisms taking our money.
We must do something about this so that we can be the ones who are compensated.
Worst case scenario, our ‘dumb ass fans’ will use this streaming service and we’ll be able to sell the company to ‘some idiot’ who thinks ‘Jay-Z is cool.’
We really shoulda made headphones, yall.
Fuck.
You know those headphones cost 57 cents per unit to make?
I watch minority parents buy that shit for their kids every day.
Why the eff did Bono get to RED and get his album forced on Apple users while we are here without ‘a hand in the honey jar.’

This is fucking bullshit.

We must create the authentic intersection between scalability and creativity.

Can some one invite those French Robots? I think people recognize them. They are the perfect branding for our ‘technology company.’

For our entire careers, we have only made a fraction of the money that we should have [via oppressive scalable mechanisms]. It is time for us to use our identifiable brands to disrupt this. We are important. We are valuable.

Can some one get the Arcade Fires on the line?
Seriously, yall couldn’t be here? WTF else are yall doing?
This is ‘your chance’ to be A-List
But I guess yall are A-List indie

Johnathan Knoxville came by for ‘comedic relief.’

I can’t believe DEAD Mau Five is ‘on board.’ Doesn’t he usually ‘h8 everything’ but I guess he just wants 2 get paid or something.

EDM LEGENDS are the gateway to #youth_culture

‘Why wasn’t I invited?’ -Benjamin Gibbard

Do u think Zooey Deschanel of THE SHIMS would’ve been invited b4 Postal Service EDM pioneer Ben Gibbard?

All of these massive personal brands who ‘appeal 2 mainstream’/mass markets makes me understand Contemporary Conformism a bit more.
Contemporary Conformists want something that is ‘theirs’, not celebs who belong 2 MTV / E!.
Female Contemporary Conformists ‘get in2’ Beyonce because they think she represents feminism and ‘accepting lightskined’ / honeybone blacks.
They want to stream from Spotify based on an ‘algorithm’, finding comfort in their ‘historical data’ curating the future of their tastes.

//we must create///something scalable /// that we can also convince ourselves /// is ‘authentic.’

Were all of these ppl gathered to create the ‘best headlines’ / SEO content evr?
Is TIDAL ‘the dumbest shit’ ever?
Why do rich artists always need to pretend they are ‘inventing something’ / ‘revolutionizing’ / ‘fighting’?
Shouldn’t they be the ones who can see ‘all art is arbitrary’ / ‘culturally relative’ and only a few ppl can even monetize it / scale it, so they should ‘just be happie’?
Do u ever just want to CONCLAVE with a group of artists who think they are ‘real’?
Why wasn’t the red head guy from Arcade Fire invited?
Why wasn’t ___________ invited?
Was scalable indie underrepresented in this ‘meeting of the minds’?
Was ‘auth’ underrepresented 4evr eternally?
