Need to start getting to more Gigs.. last proper one I went to was

(there's some on there that aren't shot on a phone camera, but it was Tender Surrender.. had to be done)

 

Last one that I actually went to though was Acid Drop I think.. went for one of the supporting acts though and had to leave before they came on.

Whilst I wouldn't describe myself as a fan, I'll admit if you can take a moment to see past the whole half her songs being about exes thing*, she is actually an incredibly talented artist. Not 100% my cup of tea, but I'll admit to there being a few songs I do enjoy.

 

Never been to any gig though. For any artist, I mean. I did win tickets to see Disturbed once, but I was absolutely decimated by the flu and couldn't go :(

 

* I actually take no issue with songs about heartbreak, bad relationships, etc. They happen to us all. The 'meh' is with the recurring theme. But I do find the internet exaggerates it.

 

Edit: Coincidentally relevant, this story was in BBC News' technology section this morning.

Taylor Swift's entire back catalogue removed from Spotify - BBC Newsbeat

 

This ^^^ and also the fact that she keeps my mate Phil in work as her tour visuals designer!

Taylor Swift wants no part of the music streaming 'experiment'

 

"If I had streamed the new album, it's impossible to try to speculate what would have happened. But all I can say is that music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment. And I'm not willing to contribute my life's work to an experiment that I don't feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music. And I just don't agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free. I wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal this summer that basically portrayed my views on this. I try to stay really open-minded about things, because I do think it's important to be a part of progress. But I think it's really still up for debate whether this is actual progress, or whether this is taking the word "music" out of the music industry. Also, a lot of people were suggesting to me that I try putting new music on Spotify with "Shake It Off," and so I was open-minded about it. I thought, "I will try this; I'll see how it feels." It didn't feel right to me. I felt like I was saying to my fans, "If you create music someday, if you create a painting someday, someone can just walk into a museum, take it off the wall, rip off a corner off it, and it's theirs now and they don't have to pay for it." I didn't like the perception that it was putting forth. And so I decided to change the way I was doing things."

 

I'd reading that as Taylor saying that she isn't getting a big enough cut from Spotify and reckons she can shift a few good few physical units to kids as presents in the run up to Xmas......

 

I have to say I think it's somewhat amusing that we have a thread discussing Taylor Swift on the site :D

With that being said, I have heard that Spotify gives artists a rather.. fecal.. cut. Just like Napster back-in-the-day.

 

Truth be told I'd much rather support an artist by buying their CD.
