  • Blothar doesn’t get enough credit. He is upholding the legacy of GWAR really well despite losing Brockie. No one will ever replace Oderus, but godammnit if Blothar isn’t doing a great job keeping this ship afloat. They’re still chugging along and being relevant 11 years after Oderus’ death.

    This cover in particular is both a great job and a sign of how they keep their finger on the pulse.

    Long live GWAR





  • For the record, I support piracy and don’t mind that people listen to my music for free. I don’t like other companies making money off it though. They didn’t make it, they don’t get to use it to make money.

    Its not so much the money I’m not making, it’s the theft of hard work artists put in and corporations profit off of that makes me upset.

    In 2019 the only way to reach people was Spotify. It’s still kinda the biggest game in town. It’s slowly changing but the business and ideas of digital ownership of rights were different 7 years ago.


  • I’m an artist with music on Spotify. I honestly don’t know how I feel about this.

    I know Metallica got a lot of shit about Napster back in the day, but I can’t help but feel like they were right. They were (by my recollection) trying to ensure artists still have a claim to their body of work. I know the industry has come so far since then, but it feels like the moment everything started to slowly become “content” and not art.

    I just want real people to actually enjoy my music. I don’t expect to make a living or even real money off my music, but I also don’t like someone else making money off my art and using it to train AI models.

    I made something meaningful, no one else gets to decide that they wanna commodify it or use it to make slop.











  • The rise in political violence is caused by the right. If democrats really cared they would’ve stopped this before it got to this point. Too many of them didn’t want to lose their positions of power and let the GOP get away with whatever they want to not lose power.

    This is a public servant position, if you want security don’t run for office. They work for us, not the other way around.
