Not quite sure what to think yet. Definitely more interesting to see now during the pandemic than when it came our.

Joining this about 30 minutes late, but I just noticed on the events page that they’re “Live” right now.
Kanye West apparently tweeted screenshots of one of his contracts with Def Jam in 2012 this morning. While it may seem crazy and odd, this is the sort of data that doesn’t get leaked within the entertainment industry very often. I’m curious to see how the level of the details released shifts the balance of power to artists in the future since surely this contract would represent one of the higher levels of performer contract in the business at the moment.
A&R and business affairs executives are sure to hate this for the coming year(s). It would be nice if more artists shared these sorts of points in public to help out others without the level of legal representation that Kanye has.
I also wonder if/when these sorts of contracts will have non-disclosure clauses in them to help protect the labels? It may start today if artists aren’t careful.

Enjoying a beer at the end of the day while catching up with the Santa Clarita Valley WordPress Meetup gang to hear about cleaning up databases.
Doomscrolling takes on a whole new meaning when you’re following the #BobcatFire hastag and your house is 3 miles from the front lines.
The wind has shifted and the smoke in the atmosphere isn’t as suffocating as it has been until this morning. I still can’t see the Bobcat fire from the house by looking up at the mountain, but it’s apparently very close to Mt. Wilson and the closest part of the fireline is about 3 miles from the house. Things generally aren’t looking good. I suspect we may see flames before the evening is out.
