I can’t believe I’m on the music industry’s side on this. It’s a sad day when I have to root for the team that’s made it hard for me to make a living while they fight against the team that’s trying to make me obsolete.

That 15 yr old cracked CS5 I have on an old hard drive is looking mighty scrumptious right now.

The convenience you required is now mandatory.

I do this too, thankfully I work from home. No has to listen to me but my cat.

As a musician who has been following this closely for a while, it keeps getting worse and worse. Musicians of my status have less and less opportunities to make a living off of our art in a world that is becoming increasingly easier to produce and distribute in. I’ve done this a long time and have had moderate success in the past. It’s to the point now though that the ways I THOUGHT musicians made money was never available to me, and the way we DID make money when I started almost doesn’t exist anymore either.

Yeah that’s the thing, search results seem to end up just melting into every key cap ever after a couple of pages. I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase but hot damn is it annoying.

Weirdly, I am days fresh from a vasectomy.
