Not that it's a UK issue but didn't the Republicans vote to allow another 9tril of debt in a draft budget under trump or did that not in fact happen in the end?

The fundamental economic questions that scared folk towards the status quo in 2014 still remain, even while the UK's own economic future is murky as gently caress. Something would need to change in the next 18 months, Brexit would have to be exceptionally bad.

The right to self-determination is balanced by the respect of the territorial integrity of the state in international law and, as per the Quebec judgement where these issues hashed out, there is no explicit international right to secession nor is there an international prohibition on it - external self-determination as a right is constrained to the decolonization context and internal self-determination (democratic representation and full legal participation in governance) is deemed a fulfilment of the general principle of self-determination of peoples outside of this context.

Guavanaut posted:Is this pop eating itself or more people just tuning out of what's mass market popular and into their own filter bubbles/musical echo chambers? Music has always had fragmented scenes, but it's never been easier to be part of one without leaving your house. It's because there are only a couple of distinct groups who buy music these days, as opposed to stream/pirate it, so the music industry is going all out to focus on those groups. In Sheeran's case I think there's some loopholery afoot that is treating every track on his new album as a single but that's basically the idea.

It's also way more meaningless than it was in the past because of the numbers. Having loads of twitter followers who will come and see you play live seems to be the current metric.

Guavanaut posted:Do people even pirate music nowadays? It's easy enough to find most things on youtube/spotify/bandcamp for free instead of even bothering with some There are definitely people who pirate music. Spotify is poo poo when I'm out on the go because I live in the Scottish Highlands & mobile signals may as well not exist up in large parts of it. Including my bedroom. There's still P2P services out there like Soulseek, and certainly in the many different strains of the metal underground there are loads of blogs with links to cool poo poo. Like there's a great anarcho-punk/crust/anarcho black metal one I follow, & another for DSBM (scenes that Spotify isn't particularly good for anyway). Lots of the poo poo is demos and stuff from unsigned bands that are freely available, but some of it is undoubtedly straight up

Obscure bands, out-of-print records, demos and bootlegs, stuff that never made an official transition to digital or maybe even CD. Stuff like what.cd (RIP) and Wordpress accounts full of zip files are great for that.

Is it even piracy if you're downloading anarchist music? Most of the local acts of that inclination normally run on a pay-what-you-want basis. I'm happy to throw some money the way of small acts, who the copyright system is functionally useless for in most cases anyway, on something like bandcamp than I am large acts, who are going to be on spotify or youtube anyway, so I guess it balances out without needing P2P sites or taping off the radio for anything but the most obscure stuff. Definitely moreso than would be the case a decade back.

The Canadian band Iskra are great (obviously named after the Russian newspaper). Also their website just has links to download every one of their records. Great bunch. And there's a dude who records as Panopticon and did an album all about his home state of Kentucky, including a couple of covers of old pro trade union songs that the coal miners would sing back in the day when unions were still cool. Also, Dimmu Borgir are a grave sin and yet at least they aren't Cradle of Filth. Oops, meant to include a link to a DSBM song, just for giggles. That dudes screams are certainly a thing. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Mar 13, 2017 |
