  1. Fair point. Apparently Spandau Ballet found ‘packaging deductions’ applied to their downloads by the record co! I wouldn’t say the music business as it was worked in favour of musicians, but at least the record companies promoted their acts. Spotify to me is a bit like the venue that wants bands to play cheap/free ‘for the exposure’.
  2. Ferchrissake!😂
  3. Triple post😂
  4. Double post😂
  5. Why is there this expectation of a continuing royalty/percentile? Because without the creators music would not exist for Spotify to profit off the back of. I see the aforementioned Mr Ek made another $118.8 million selling some of his shares in April. Wonder if he can write a song?😂
  6. The median estimated compensation for executives at Spotify including base salary and bonus is $240,842, or $115 per hour. At Spotify, the most compensated executive makes $450,000, annually, and the lowest compensated makes $53,000. Estimated salaries. GIVE THE MUSICIANS A FAIR SHARE!!
  7. Its all the money being made by others (the non musicians/composers) in the streaming process that I object to. Unfair shares…
  8. I don’t have many principles but I just feel it’s exploitation. I buy new stuff from bands I know and follow up new music recommendations from friends (Whatsapp groups) and websites. And yes, you’re right - probably 2/3 of what I listen to is at least 30 years old…
  9. Don’t stream, won’t stream.
  10. What do you play your Sandberg through?
  11. Always nice to know the name of band, venue and gear! Keep posting….👍
  12. Sorry for getting the wrong end of the Joanna!😬 I used to play with a guy who now fronts Purple Zeppelin - so he morphs from Gillan/Coverdale to Plant (who he most resembles) at half time…😉
  13. On looks alone that’s a pretty sexy set-up!
  14. Did you play both the acts’ hits? And how did you choose which to do in that short a set - assume you usually do two in your own right?
  15. Wish I wasn’t away!
  16. So what bass was this?
  17. I use my VM when I need a variety of possibilities - especially in venues I am unfamiliar with. It’s the only active I own. If it had the character of my Fenders it wouldn’t be so useful.
  18. You’ll always be a star in my eyes Mike 😘
  19. Been breathalysed 4 times. Never positive. 3 times after gigs… night shift must be boring. 👮
  20. Sold Rob some CDs. Exemplary transaction! Recommended Basschatter. And so polite too…👏
  21. As a fellow ‘71P with flats player, I’d say you’ve Nailed it!👏
