178 - Music & Labor Penny Fractions Panel w/ David Turner, Joey La Neve DeFrancesco, and Phillip Golub
/

OK opens this panel by accosting the Nowadays crowd, a necessary struggle session to ground the conversation physically to art venues’ position to PR, finance, and real estate. We then discuss strategies and wins from music worker organizing with members of Union of Musicians and Allied Workers and Music Workers Alliance. We are honored to be in the Penny Fractions family, congratulations to David for 5 amazing years of critical research on the music industries. Support him here. For the second half of the evening, which discussed music streaming with Liz Pelly and Cherie Hu, follow the Money 4 Podcast.

The Band in Hell by Electric Six

The band in hell
Plays all night long
It’s a sold out show
And there is only one song

There is no rhythm
And there is no rhyme
It goes on forever
Until the end of time

And now the devil he plays guitar
And Hitler plays the drums
I’m the man on the microphone
This is what I’ve become

I’m sorry that
I’m sorry that I love you
I’m sorry I
I’m sorry I am what I am
Another coal on the fire

Now there was once a man
Who walked the Earth with no shoes
He went from town to town
Playing rhythm and blues

And there was love in every note that he played
And there was truth in every word that he sang
He offered those who believed his guarantee
But somehow he missed me

And I’m sorry that
I’m sorry that I love you
I’m sorry I
I’m sorry I am what I am
A damnation to you

I’m sorry
I’m sorry

145 – How To Become Middle Class
/

Participation trophy caucus of A+L (OK and Sarah) discuss How To with John Wilson’s first episode of their new season, “How to Invest in Real Estate”. We truly love John Wilson, he’s our generation’s neurotic New York white guy, but not a scumbag. As we pray for his career to continue to flourish, let’s do some critical thinking: How do artists balance the necessary self-delusion to create good work with the equally urgent need of insisting on collective solutions to the everyday problems we encounter? Can we give brilliant work the critique it deserves? How could you say no to Mama? How could you see a missing option if you don’t know it exists? OK gets triggered, Sarah reveals her newest psycho theory of mind, and we both sit comfortably in our armchairs smoking cigars while everyone else throws bricks in the streets.
