Maybe people could post or link to examples of contracts, noting important clauses and what they mean. It’s hard to find good info on music business practices.
Hey #songwriting crew. Can folks share ideas about contracts, such as single-song contracts. More knowledge about this is important for #songwriters.
Such a gift. Do you read his substack? georgesaunders.substack.com
A reminder that you can listen to the newsletter as a podcast if you prefer using your ears to your eyes. This morning I got a little bit worked up.

Below #theguardian discusses the ‘performative male’. Here’s a very entrancing #TedTalk by one: www.patreon.com/posts/squatt...
Yes, I was thinking about the RussianBlue. Your diagnosis seems very good.
Lovely-coloured coat. Is it a breed of cat?
#BodilyAutonomy: It’s okay for the poors’ bodies to be shot (they are responsible enough to do that) but they are like little babes when it comes to what they can put in their own bodies.
High rate of good reviews.
From the latest NYRB sale. Most looking forward to Cesare Pavese. I know his prose but not his poetry.
Thrilled to have my poem, "Once Upon a Time," included in #IWWG anthology #WriteForward.
A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. Unquestionably the most useful book for writers I’ve read in a long time.

The problem with the poors is that “they are not educated enough to understand how innovative they are”.
“It’s great to be here! It’s annoying being alive though isn’t it?” Stewart Lee (with thanks to @mariabamford.bsky.social for the recommendation)
Knew a man who every time he broke wind would say “run to the light Carol-Anne”. Odd and inexplicable.
Another vogon.

Katie and Whitney run an entertaining show. Top work! #truecrime Did you know ‘enter/tain’ is related to contain, detain, retain, etc, which comes from ‘tenere’ - to hold. Ever feel like you’re being entertained to death? #podcast www.truecrimecampfirepod.com
Clearly a vogon.
This stumped #academicsky. The answer is ‘Trump sucks dead possums’ bums’.
Dame #TraceyEmin: woman of depth.
After an #abc #iview meeting, they added a redhead. Problem solved! 🤣 #auspol
Attempt at sarcasm: This promotional poster does a great job at reflecting the diversity of contemporary Australia. #auspol #abc #iview #TheFamilyNextDoor
It’s a bouvier des flandres.
Have learned, in Oz, #InternationalDogDay falls in #PoetryMonth. To make ends meet, poets are side hustling as dogs, thus this personals ad: “Self-taught genius seeks Lady Ottoline Morrell. Will answer to Buddy or Luna. Nearly house trained”.

Here, just west of Easter Island, in an unknown timezone, the big question is ‘Who is hotter, Poldark or Hornblower?’
I like short-haired dogs for ease of checking for ticks.
Quote: “Under the guise of safety.” Safety is now the go-to excuse for greater surveillance and enforcement.
Bear-gorilla-dog, all rolled into a cuddly nightmare. Stalking.
It’s a bouvier des flandres.
#Poets, tragically, you will not be Captains of Industry.
This silverback gorilla dog is real.
Belated viewing of #DreamScenario. Groups of people dream that a person is bad then punish them. Both a valid & reactionary take on cancel culture. #MarcMaron loved when Cage efartulated.
4.7 out of 5 from 247 reviews. That’s very good. I’m gonna order.
A line in a book I wrote: “The muscle between his scrotum and his anus was as strong as a gyprocker’s handshake”. It was about a guy who’d done a lot of yoga. Goes without saying, it went unpublished. Using perineum wouldn’t have worked. Have a good day/ night. #books #writing
Clowns on the left of me, crooks on the right …
Not surprised: the Canadians discover ‘the aura’.
She sports a lovely wisdom lock. But, woah, what a centre to abolish!
4.44: that song about his father is mature & powerfully poetic art.
The world's richest man using his cars to promote his AI chatbot to dispense #climate denial propaganda is.... F-ing insane. Fascist infowar escalating its attacks on collective reality. GROK: "Climate Change. Total psy-op… it’s a cover for geoengineering and resource grabs.” #CallThemOligarchs
Perfect pitch!
📣 New episode out 📣 @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social discuss Enoch Powell’s so-called “Rivers of Blood” speech, the explosive political speech that brought far-right ideas into the British mainstream. Listen / watch ➡️ linktr.ee/originstoryp...
No.10 wins.
This will be sooo much fun!! Pity I live just west of Easter Island.
Yes, and talk about fair work & salaries to not lose an election again.
All these videos showing the sentience of animals is putting me off eating them for dinner.
Is there a pill that can make me feel this fresh?
From this image we learn that Ms Swift is into #dimorphism.
Billionaires must be taxed by the federal government at a fair rate. No, 0% is not the right answer.
What’s this? I must look into it.
80 million voted for this. How to not lose again? Foreground #WorkersRights. Don’t Shill. #newsom
Safety is now the go-to excuse for greater surveillance and enforcement in many sectors of life.
If you’re curious about some of the greatest Aboriginal & Australian songs, try the master, #ArchieRoach. Album: ‘Charcoal Lane’. m.youtube.com/watch?v=IL_D...
This would definitely be in Works Consulted. #academicsky www.theguardian.com/news/2021/ma...
There’s a rich vein to mine in the ‘Clown Dictator’. Any sources #academicsky?
It's not the most important thing at the moment, but I'm so embarrassed for America. To have world leaders concern themselves with symbols of placation for an overgrown manchild. To have the leader of a country fighting for its life thinking about what he wears to the White House.
I won’t listen to a Literature Professor unless s/he is wearing a hi-viz vest!

Brad has released “Colorbars,” featuring Chris Thile, from his upcoming @nonesuch.com album of Elliott Smith songs, ‘Ride into the Sun,’ with Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen, Felix Moseholm, and Matt Chamberlain. The video was made during its recording at Bunker Studio in Brooklyn: youtu.be/mt9PL3XszN8
It competed well with the Gibsons & was half the price. A lovely thing.

They will monitor how much sleep and sunlight you use (naughty, bad) before controlling how much you get. Amazon wants to analyse your toilet pan to suggest vitamin supplements. #surveillance creep
It's happening! My book on financial nihilism is set to be published in March next year with Stanford UP. It has been many years in the making and I look forward to seeing it in print soon. www.sup.org/books/politi...

I remember Ramona Koval saying there is nothing sexier to men than a woman who is 1/2 a foot taller than them and holds a PhD in Maths.
For anyone ( #RebelWilson) keen to read 40 pages slagging off #SachaBaronCohen, this ghosted book will deeply please. #comedysamurai
Everything is better now!

Yay, #SashiPerera chose 9 clips we haven’t seen 20 times before on ‘10 Funniest Things’. Last week there were only 6 new clips. #theguardian
Even books that use the word ‘anyhoo’ should not be burned.
Don’t raise your hand if you think raising your hand is silly.
