We’re simply not going to get that back if we give people the option to perhaps, maybe pay some small amount to listen to all music ever recorded by anyone, anywhere, anywhen. Such a system may be good for whomever taking a cut off the top (such as Spotify), but it’s going to suck for anyone actually contributing products into the system.

Oh my, how much I hated all the players around me constantly talking about “you have to have balls to play”, “your creativity lies within your dick” and all kinds of other genital references. In some groups that was the only mode of conversation.
I was always uncomfortable with it and thought, oh well, it’s just trash talk. But the older I get the more I realize that some of the guys actually meant this seriously and believed it. Which is outrageous and infuriating. But what I never understood was, how these guys could be so insensitive and outright brutal with their statements yet at the same time create wonderful music. This was always a cognitive dissonance in me.
Please read the article linked below.
Given Kalia’s record of having to attend all kinds of official school breakfasts, meetings and happenings, all the guys would probably see this as a huge networking advantage and her way of “sleeping her way up”. I’m glad I’ve read her account of it which shows clearly that being the “token girl” is a terrible situation.
Dear musicians: please change!
That’s how it’s done.
I find the thought exhilarating, that she planned this and said to herself: I’m going to be the first person to do this joke. This short performance alone is worth that Oscar win in my opinion.

So, jetzt wollte ich heute meinen doch recht schwachen Akku tauschen lassen und als ich wieder zurück zum Apple Store komme, erklärt mir der Apple Mitarbeiter, dass es ein Problem (Platine leitete keinen Strom weiter) gab und ich jetzt ein neues Telefon bekomme.
Schade, da sind ein paar (wenige) Bilder leider flöten gegangen, die ich noch nicht rübergezogen hatte. Ansonsten habe ich hoffentlich alles, bzw. kann es wieder herstellen.
Jetzt habe ich also anstatt € 29,- für den Akku zu bezahlen ein brandneues iPhone SE. Auch nicht schlecht. Außer, dass ich jetzt leider auf iOS 11 muss und das eigentlich nicht wollte. Aber mal sehen, vielleicht ist die Performance ja akzeptabel.
Und ich bin auch gespannt was die Speicherstände der verschiedenen Spiele machen. Gnnnaaaahhh…
One of the dreams I always had was to meet John Williams in person. Although I would probably totally choke up because I’m such a terrible fanboy.

Charming.
I always wondered how this was done.
