@@bluestudio67 Haha, that means you don't understand Jack at all. Watch all his solo videos before and during vulfpeck. Immerse yourself in his madness and you'll understand him. PS : if you want an objective explanation here it is, (but it breaks all his magic) : He does indeed want to share some important society issues he's concerned with, but nothing is taken seriously, ever. Nothing tops the need of irony in his life.
Somebody is making that money. $7 a month goes to rights holders. That is a lot more money spent on music than what the average was when people bought albums on vinyl or CD... So artists or rights holders are making way more money than they used to when selling CDs... The money gets spread out to more artists instead of on,y the top 40 making all the money...
i didn't mean it in a bad way at all, just that he is very much so a stereotypical nerdy Jewish guy, the kind of cliche you see played up in tv shows and whatnot. Papa bless, i love me the man, the myth, the legend, Jack Stratton
As hard as it is for them to take him seriously, the thing is that he hits the nail on the head. He’s dead on, as an artist, with a really astute analysis of how the business model hurts him. And even though he’s being jack, what he’s saying is really valuable, and he even has the self awareness to acknowledge there are things he’s benefitting from, which is probably a lot more than these presenters could do.
@@ukulayme2 Given a $10/month subscription for unlimited music, Spotify is essentially doing radio minus the ads; Jack (correctly) sees that Spotify can't earn enough from this model to fund itself, let alone pay the artists too
That quote is 100% accurate. Steve mentioned that same Whole Foods quote at a free drum clinic at Chicago Music Exchange back in June. No clue on when he first said it though
"Ok, Jack. Thanks for coming on! I 'think' you made your point/s...over time" That last comment kills me. Jack is a very, very unique and talented artist. We should all thank him for sticking up for the artists. Thanks, Jack! ;)
Unpopular opinion: while this may have been funny to fans of the band, it likely did very little to convince folks that other business models better serve artists...
Yeah i agree with you. He has a huge audience watching this, and he couldve used his platform better to raise awareness of the issue and inform too. Funny stuff tho.
Employed Millennial I think, even though Jack is capable of great fluence and eloquence, that it could be a bit too "dangerous" to enter into deeper observation and explanation; risking to be cut in the middle of that exercise.
Do you think the editors put the actual audio from the stream when they showed the album or just left it silent? If you think about it there's a difference
