A key reason why so much dysfunction persists in the live event marketplace is that musicians have been too often excluded from policy debates that impact them, their fans, and their communities. In light of this, a weak settlement before any artists or managers are even allowed to take the witness stand would be a perverse and cruel outcome. We encourage state AGs to do the right thing and continue the fight for a breakup." --kevin erickson, director, Future of Music Coalition

However much you hate them you do not hate them enough

I'd like to be remembered as one of the great cat dads.

Squiggy has been here since October. We love her.

Our beautiful baby, Squiggy

The new cat tree is a hit!

It's wild to think that Mark E Smith would only be 69 years old today.

Thought I'd be appreciated and rewarded for years and years of hard work.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Today is the four-year anniversary of CONFIRMING that Lou Reed ate his burgers without the bun. He loved to walk on the wild side.

Listening to the master right now and DAMN

Inflatable Graveyard Vol. 2

Have you ever heard of something called Taco Bell, JJ?

Food Regrets

hahahahha

Today's decision underscores that point, and also underscores the importance of careful legal analysis and dialogue with diverse stakeholders before rushing into campaigning to "do something." Artists of all disciplines are all stronger when we work together and learn from each other.

When the AI hype-cycle was just exploding, some groups demanded a new law declaring that "large corporations" should not be granted copyright protection for AI works. That was weird and misguided, because the law is pretty clear that *nobody* can register AI created works for copyright protection.

Helium Comedy Club <p>We are a state of the art venue that brings great talent to an intimate theater. For a modest ticket price, patrons can enjoy live comedy from a national headliner performing no more than 60 ft awa...

Best bet would be to contact corporate office in Philadelphia. philadelphia.heliumcomedy.com

It turns out I was wrong and the shows are actually listed on Bankas' website as happening at Helium PDX on those dates. It's likely that the venue hasn't updated their website to list them yet?

Helium is a chain and the Portland staff doesn't have much say in booking. (1/2)

Helium has all of their events listed at portland.heliumcomedy.com/events

Helium PDX HAS booked this guy in the past (he headlined there in October) and is playing their Atlanta location in a few months.

It's actually VERY common for listings to still be up on third party reseller's websites after a show is cancelled (for context, I work in music as an artist manager and am on the board of a non profit that's working on regulating ticket resellers)

He's not playing at Helium per their website's calendar. My assumption is that the show was cancelled a while back, and Stubhub (a third-party ticket reseller) didn't update their listings.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

U.S. Nonprofit Libraries Forced to End Passport Services. Can They… Starting Feb. 13, you won't be able to apply for a U.S. passport at nonprofit public libraries—unless a bipartisan effort to extend the deadline succeeds.

Marco Rubio made it so you can't renew your passport at the library any more, very annoying! www.frommers.com/tips/news/li...

Trump does not simply want voters to verify who they are. That already happens in every state under threat of criminal penalty. What he wants is to force Americans to show forms of ID that millions do not possess in order to keep them from voting.

What’s he afraid of? YOUR VOTE.
