Have we won against West Ham yet?
No Spotify but I love Olivia Rodrigo so this was a nice treat. Great performance as always from Kelly. Appreciate the costuming/set design.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostI never buy into stats like that sorry team
Only stat that matters is goals scored.
Never really understood the term industry plant. Isn't that what labels are exactly meant to do, plant talent and make it grow.
By Kidjr Go To PostNever really understood the term industry plant. Isn't that what labels are exactly meant to do, plant talent and make it grow.Yeah, I dunno. She's not a nepo baby or anything -- her parents are as basic as it gets. Good singer, very pretty, strong lyrics. Two great albums so far. I guess the implication is that maybe she doesn't write her own music even though she is credited as doing so which I dunno, maybe she doesn't -- a lot of pop artists haven't in the past. I'll just keep enjoying what she releases either way.
I didn't know that the guy who co-writes with her and produces her music also worked on Sky Ferreira's first album until now but that makes a lot of sense. Another gem.
By Lego Go To PostOlivia Rodrigo is an industry plantIsn’t all mainstream media filled with nepo babies?
By Kidjr Go To PostNever really understood the term industry plant. Isn't that what labels are exactly meant to do, plant talent and make it grow.Not an academic here but I always understood it as an artist who is curated by a label as opposed to signing someone who created their own style. Also can be someone who was given a genre to sing, thus being inauthentic.

which makes all the fawning of Swift super bizarre.
@will Newcastle post, you thought you had a bad summer or just not enough. Quality over quantity surely? Games like tonight Barnes willock and the like start

By Kidjr Go To PostNever really understood the term industry plant. Isn't that what labels are exactly meant to do, plant talent and make it grow.The way my buddy that works in country music describes it:
There’s some people that come in with a fully formed act and just need marketing
Then there’s other people that just get scouted either for being models/fashionable and can mildly carry a tune or have a good rap voice and the label gives them an image and a sound (ghostwriters, producers, sometimes ghost vocalists still on some Milli Vannili shit) to run with. Those are what he’d consider industry plants.
He does marketing for some of the biggest country artists out but also tour photography since he’s on the road with them a lot

I wasn't enamoured with our business at the time, but I was fairly happy. We've been unlucky with injuries (and now Tonali) in the last few weeks which has put a lot of stress on the team, for example Trippier has probably been the best RB in the league this season but he looked really tired and off it against Dortmund, and then again against Wolves. But rather than bring on Livramento, Howe didn't change anything...which makes me think at this current time he doesn't trust them.
Hall has barely got any minutes, Barnes has been injured for ages and will be until Jan at the earliest. Even when he is back though, he's not getting that left wing spot from Gordon. Unless Gordon moves to the right.
So basically, when you look at the signings (Tonali, Barnes, Livramento, Hall) only Tonali has got any significant minutes and has had any impact. Despite the squad being stretched extremely thin, Howe is persisting with the same back 4 every game. We invested in the long term team, when we really should have been looking to make improvements to the first 11.
By bud Go To Postwish i was a nepo babby.Bud bring me Gimenez and you can be my baby.
Juve seems to love injury prome MFs, seems like there’s still links to Partey. We should sell him and go for Joao Palhinha.

This grinding it out on my own merits shit sucks
I doubt if my parents were rich I'd even bother pretending to work unless they made me. Give me that Kyoufu life.

It’s actually kinda funny how some comedians will have parents who are billionaires.

As a casual enjoyer of music this is how I see it as well. And we can't really blame record labels for it either. Just out there making money like the rest of us.
I'm more annoyed by those people who claim music made today is shit because they can't be bothered to look beyond the artists the industry is serving them.
By domino Go To PostThe way my buddy that works in country music describes it:Right. I don't mind some Olivia songs, Vampire and good 4 u (why wouldn't I, both songs are very reminiscent of previous hits), but her whole indie/alternative pop star image feels like they thought there was a gap in the market.

She's just a Disney kid like Demi Lovato or Miley Cyrus at the end of the day, packaged in a different way. Very talented though, because they all are.
