Warner Music

Warner Music really sucks a lot of balls.

I just read an article about how they were in contract negotiations with Youtube about payment for people watching clips on Youtube that had music from artists on Warner (or one of Warner’s subsidiaries). The contract negotiations failed, so Warner Music demanded that any clip with Warner Music had to be either deleted or muted.

Some of the videos that got deleted include:
- a baby dancing to a Prince song
- someone playing piano to and singing “Winter Wonderland”
- Death Cab For Cutie’s official film clips
- Led FREAKING Zeppelin’s official clips

Welcome

This is my first proper blog post. Its going to be a pretty boring one, because I'm at work and all I really wanted to say was welcome to my blog. Its going to be a fairly random experience for everyone. I already know some of the topics I want to blog about (ie music, Wes Anderson films, Leon Trotsky, American customer service) and none of them are particularly related in any way.

My idea is to post a new blog every Monday, but I'm sure that will continue for about 2 weeks before I start getting lazy and do it whenever I feel like it.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I undoubtedly will.

Warm regards,

MC Bad Genius
