So her music was like the seventies wrapped in a modern package.
So if you strip that away and you only look at original music, maybe the last album is like from the eighties or nineties.
Um,
And a lot of like new bands that really, that, that I like that are new are like, kind of like sounding like old school stuff.
Throwbacks.
And the new sound that I see that kind of is hitting the, the mainstream culture is like, in terms of like, you know, hip hop music and rap music fucking sucks, man.
And, uh,
messaging is kind of like crazy and i always i've been i grew up on rap music to be honest i i love rap music and i always felt like part of the part of the reason why i love rap music is because it's a reflection of society because there's so much talking so much lyrics so much verbal communication so if you listen you get like a nice reflection of like the reality that is being lived and if you listen to the lyrics today of rap is just like whoa we are living in a nihilistic
world that just like nobody has any hopes and it's all about drugs and fucking all kind of like demon like things so if that's a reflection of the society that we're in yeah we're not going to create good music and maybe we need to look back at like older older stuff but what was your original question sorry I kind of got derailed I wonder if the the fact that we've kind of become slaves to the algorithm for finding new music new art new film new
I don't think the majority of people will break out of that.
And I can explain why.
So I started my career in the music business, right?
And I started, I was working at Universal Music in Norway, where I grew up between Norway and Argentina.
I was in the Oslo office in Universal Music.
and then you know neighboring countries sweden the pirate bay guys were doing their thing right and torrenting had like a very you know i had a moment uh in the in the early odds mid odds so by the time i started my career back in 2007 and i was working there i was i remember to this day and i've been tweeting about this a lot like i remember sitting in the in the boardrooms on the phone with with the london office and all the executives were like screeching and and and like
saying like we need to stop the pirate bay uh we need to like confiscate their servers we need to put those people in jail we need to shut down the website and i was the youngest guy there and i was like to myself i'm like what the is what is going on right now what are these people talking about like they obviously don't understand the technology they don't understand the decentralization of torrenting and that is literally unstoppable you can put them in jail but you're not gonna you're not gonna make a dent
uh they just didn't didn't understand it and i was like hey why don't we embrace this technology and we try to like uh create like low bit rates uh versions of singles and and distribute that and get people excited and then they will buy the real later and they were like no absolutely not like i'm like that was a thing that made me rage quit the uh the industry what happened
later though is that the music business as they got disrupted and they were like trying to scramble to stay relevant and just to stay solvent is that they did mergers and acquisitions and then they got like those mergers and acquisitions made them to like a one global entity that was powerful enough to say to spotify like hey if you want to enter the us market if you want to ipo in this market we need a we need a cut
Pure mafia shit.
If you want to have a shop here in the street and you don't want us to come and destroy your shop, give us a piece.
