We'll end up signing the chuff and there will have still been no bids.

 

[Seth Rollins]

Brentford are signing some striker from the polish league today, maybe this is a start to something that will see this all thankfully end

Have they put a bid in??!!

 

[Brownieblade]

He was supposed to sign last week but head of Brentford’s it’s only a bid if it lands on my desk department was on holiday in US and only got back yesterday

Should we just cut out the middle man and sign the Polish guy instead?

I think he is from Ecuador but why not, or at least increase the bid by a few million just to annoy the bees

If there have been no bids and we sign him, does that mean we kidnapped him?

We should definitely make a beeline for him.

Nope. If I have any vinyl it's purely for the aesthetics or the collectible value. For me, sonic clarity without fear of scratching the fucker to bits is where it's at, and I'm not even talking about super-hi-fidelity this range that range the other range quality either because in that respect my ears are a bit clothy.

These hipsters going, "Yeah man, like, Dark Side of the Moon sounds so vibrant on 200g virgin vinyl," will be singing a different tune in 10 years when their dog has scratched it, their kids have chewed it, and their partner has put it back in its cover with the inner sleeve the wrong way so that next time they take it out the disc drops out and rolls along the floor scraping the skirting boards as it goes. In other words, it WILL be scratched to fuck and they'll be wishing they had the surround sound 5.1 BluRay like I have.

I’ve bought much of my record collection again on CD because
1. It means I won’t damage them further.
2. I don’t have to turn it over after 20 minutes, I can just stick the album on and listen to all of it.
3. Can stick them on my phone.

Yep, that's pretty much me too.

 

[Bill Johnson]

Ooops, sorry man. Mind you hipsters get on my wick too, but I am a vinyl guy being an ex DJ, but I probably shouldn't say that I have some albums on 4 or 5 separate 45 rpm discs recorded on 1 side only for purity! I have a lot of LP's as old as I am but in much better condition sadly.

Are you Dj High-speed?

I think that's the plan for the team bus when Man City come to the Lane

I did the same. Then I started buying tons more stuff on CD, because CD's became so cheap.

Now I have Spotify, so I rarely put CD"s on.

Suppose I need to sell them all now!

I don’t really get Spotify. I’ve got almost everything I want to listen to on CD. I can put what I want on my phone and I’m not relying on getting a signal.

Spotify is great at pointing you to new music based on what you listen to already. The discover weekly playlist is worth checking out once you have some playlists setup.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

I`m waiting for someone to spotify Maupay at Bramall Lane.

 

[MobileBlade]

You can download to your phone so you don't always need a signal. Then link it to a Sonos system and add an Amazon Echo and you get best of both worlds.

 

[Guesty]

Spotify is great at pointing you to new music based on what you listen to already. The discover weekly playlist is worth checking out once you have some playlists setup.

Plus you can download it to your phone and also not be reliant on signal.

All new releases available instantly for no (extra) fee. It's great!

That’s too on topic, if you’re not able to go off at a non relevant tangent banish yourself from these pages forthwith

And before some clever arse pedantic Dr of Languageology comes on I know it should be ....irrelevant....fucking irrelevant!

How has the Maupay thread ended up with a Spotify discussion lol

Because the Brentford fans are busy today.

Not for young bands trying to make a living, its not.

 

[BLADES1988]

HURRAY FOR MCBURNIE!!! HOPEFULLY THIS THREAD CAN FUCK OFF NOW

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

You do realise that Spotify pay for material right?

 

[Nick Jansky]

You do realise that Spotify pay for material right?

I do, yes. Next to fuck all. I still get a regular pittance, £10 a year if I’m lucky.

That might be because my band was crap, of course

But what they pay is disgusting

How does the PRS work these days, Nick? I keep quipping on my laugh-a-month Progressive Alternative show that whenever I play a song "there's another 20p for you Mr Hillage" (random example).

I get it's related to the number of plays. A bit like old school radio.

Twas always thus Nick.

The royalty splits between the majors and online companies have, until now, never been that beneficial to musicians. Better than nothing I suppose, but it still amounts to very little.

Well Spotify pay per stream, which needs to last a minimum of 30 seconds (pretty much the industry standard across all streaming platforms). They pay between $0.006 and $0.0084 per stream, depending on how many you get.

But PRS for radio airplay?
