The Hissing of Summer Lawns is Joni Mitchell's best album

The Batlord

Not all of us can be cool.

Yeah none of that makes me give a ****. What I give a **** about is the intense staccato rhythm of "Harvester of Sorrow" while I could give less than a **** about the bland groove of "Sad but True".

Actually, that's a pretty good album. They played that album to death when DC 101 went progressive in 1976 (They became a metalhead station a couple years later).

Might not be the best, but it holds most of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs


What do you guys think of Neil Young's and Joni Mitchell's Spotify boycott?

Good on them, but I admit it hasn't moved me towards canceling my Spotify sub. That's largely due to laziness on my part, tho

btw nobody tell them Rogan has an official clips channel on YT because at this rate all their stuff will be wiped from the internet before long

I think I've never watched a Joe Rogan episode in my life. I do know some clips of him interviewing people though. It never seamed particularly interesting to me, so I didn't dig into it.

But from what I understand the guy interviews people from all sides of political, religious, etc circles, and just lets them speak.

It would be fine as long as he would provide commentary on their ideas. You might want to "include all", but it's just as important to be able to distinguish the wheat from the chaff, or the good from the bad.
Just "letting people speak" seems like being "good", but it can lead to all sorts of dangers.
Even more so if you become popular.

Are we supposed to allow both nazis and liberals to speak their truth on equal terms?

Or anti-vaxers and medical doctors?

That wasn't really the point was it though?

Besides, I think that even if all of Neil Young's music would be gone from any internet media, his music would still last and resonate with people in a hundred years (a wild guess, I know), while things like "Joe Rogan Experience" (really it should be called "Joe Rogan's Experiences") will vanish into the abyss in 5 years or so.

Also, YouTube and Spotify aren't really the same thing.
And Spotify, as far as I'm concerned, shouldn't be a platform for vlogs, blogs, interviews, etc, outside of the music "thing". It's a streaming service for music ffs




I didn't cancel the sub, btw

I did switch from Spotify to Amazon Music, not only because I agree with Young and Mitchell but I wanted a platform where I could hear their music. I think there's a thread about the whole boycott somewhere; I remember being pretty active on it at one time.

I think we basically agree though. What I mean is, for instance YouTube isn't "the Joe Rogan website" even if he has some of his stuff on there. I think the same logic should apply to Spotify

Except that Spotify paid for the rights to Joe Rogan. last I checked, YouTube hasn't given him a dime.

Eh. He still makes money from youtube ads. I don't see so much of a meaningful distinction there
