Accountability in Music [ARCHIVED] • Page 888

Oh yeah I didn't hear about that part. I really only based it on how secretive they were about it. Even when Andrea would bring up their charity for Miles, it never alluded to anything at all really. But again, not my place, so maybe it's neither and we'll never know for sure. Nor do we really need to obviously.

 

Am I missing something? This was from five months ago.

Using taxpayer money for personal gain like shopping sprees and flying out waitresses makes my blood BOIL

 

My bad I didn’t pay attention to the dates. She WAS being attacked for it right after she did it 5 months ago.

 

Related to a post a saw a few pages back.. admittedly, i have zero knowledge of how streaming services work. Had no clue that music I’ve owned for years on iTunes now counts as streaming plays for the artists through Apple Music. I guess it’s not as easy as, “well I haven’t paid for anything so I’m not supporting “insert artist” anymore.

 

If it's any consolation, streaming payments are a total joke. The amount you are materially supporting bands whose shows you don't attend or merch you don't buy is basically nothing.

 

I want Chris Brown to rot so bad

 

Years now. I honestly ache for it. Disgusting human being that has way too much fucking support still.

 

There is absolutely no confirmation of this. I did A LOT of digging.

 

Why would you dig?

 

Seems reasonable to check on something like that

 

his wife posted about it on instagram and pretty quickly deleted it in like 2022. there was is also a still up pretty widely circulated tweet about it but i don’t want to contradict all the digging they did

 

Might sound wild but feels like all this energy to try to discuss and exonerate Jesse could be used towards other prevailing stuff, I dunno

 

Yeah I definitely remember the guitar lessons thing and maybe a screen shot of Andrea’s IG or something regarding it? Maybe I’m thinking of the tweet though

 

She wiped her socials for a bit, and went away, and someone on Reddit said that was the reason why. It was later revealed that it was likely due to the death of their son. If there is actually proof of the guitar lesson thing I’d love to see it, but there was a Reddit comment and then a tweet that mentioned exactly what the Reddit comment said.

 

The Brand New discourse is reminding me that I The Mighty’s singer, who had many allegations of grooming and sexually assaulting teenage fans against him at the time, also started doing guitar lessons after laying low.

I became aware of it because for some reason he started posting on the band’s socials recently. I saw the band pop up on my Facebook feed out of nowhere which I found very odd after so long. Hope he’s not attempting a comeback but nothing surprises me anymore. Pretty sure I saw him hint at it in a comment of a fan saying something like “new I The Mighty??” as well.

 

Ugh, well that’s it

 

Oh and I don’t think there’s enough talk about how when abusers end up coming out mostly unscathed, or are even able to get their platform back… well that emboldens other abusers as well. I feel like I rarely see anyone lay it out like that.

 

I hope someone puts this thread in a museum someday as a crystalline showcase of scene neuroses

 

This is basically what we're experiencing in the US political climate and it's fucking terrifying/depressing. There are no consequences for being a horrific piece of shit as long as you have enough money and pander to the ignorant.

 

My point being BN is not worth that much research Stephen

Very disappointed by this.

 

Bro

 

Imagine laws don’t apply to us
It’s easy if you try

 

The lack of oversight on this money is disgusting. Not that I needed another reason to never listen to or support these dudes again, but glad to know they showed who they really are here. Life-changing money for 99% of people getting pocketed with zero consequences by assholes who haven't needed it in decades. USA, USA
