74) That (apparently thin-skinned) LaLaLand impressario talking about his own personal "Hateful 8" of FSMers.
Please link it if you can.
Brm
Am i on the list?
No names are given. The post is in the hilariously-titled "Did John Williams Ever Top My Friend Mr. Nobody?":
"The Hateful 8 just ain't the name of a crappy Tarantino film, its the new name us here at La La Land have given to those 8 folks on our FSM ignore list that we feel contribute nothing but negativity to this board. Our lives have been happier since not having to read their posts."

LLL is still mad at me for THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE.

And probably my dissing of the APOCALYPSE NOW art.
I guess buying multiple items from a label and publicizing them is "hateful".

78) Bob DiMucci reports that "Record Sales (including Downloads) Dropping."
Who cares! Dan Schulte has 9 kids!!!
Millennials and Gen Z don't care about music in ANY physical form and it's killing it. They want digital music and they want it for free. They don't care about liner notes, artwork, instrumentation and they certainly don't have any patience to put a disc in a tray and wait for it to load. I should know their habits and tastes. I have 9 kids. I also know that with all the ripping programs out there all one needs to do is go to the streaming sites like Bandcamp and download the HQ streams at will (or search...someone else has done it), so even putting your music digitally online is becoming a fruitless effort to make sales (I have a BC page and talk to other EM artists who decry the same thing...people are simply stealing and not buying). Yes, very few will pay...those with morality and integrity but that in 2018, is a dying concept. We can pretend it isn't happening or deny it and live in the echo chamber of "we don't discuss stealing music from artists in this sacred place" but it's there, it's happening and it's why things are ending. For those of us Gen X or older it's a very sad time and we're living in a world we barely recognize anymore. Record/music stores (Best Buy/Target eliminating CDs this year..Walmart soon to follow), video stores, video game arcades, book stores and just this week, with Toys R Us announcing their closing, toy stores....all gone. The classic concept of the musical artist is now dying before our eyes. It was a fun ride while it lasted though. I'm sure the Time Bandits had something to do with it all.

A post by Watt in the stellar "What's on your sandwich right now" thread:
Two "plain bread" heels (NEVER "pan" bread) from the two extremes of my fresh Mother's Pride loaf, with a slab of lard, a fistful of salt, and lashings of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.

My fave was when the world's animal cruelty warriors went into meltdown and issued a fatwa when chris kinsinger's house and garden was so infested with squirrels he confessed he was forced to drown them in a barrel. (in fairness, two days before, 20 of them had carried off his grandma!!!

"Apparently thin-skinned" is quite the diplomatic way of putting it.
Jim, you are nothing if not well-mannered.
...and yet I still manage to rankle so many FSMers...
Quite a few of my favorites were written by Jim...most especially from a humour standpoint, but Jim has some pretty darn astute observations in general as well.

In fact on a growing list of complete ranklers, you are not even in the top 100!
