it’s kinda strange that thing in the LISA soundtrack that had to get changed was the Delin grunt in Work Harder and not the straight-up no-frills Toro y Moi sample.

Like that song’s in the ASCAP and everything but y’know I guess it’s tight. no issues and stuff.

Oh yeah, it sounded like Underground’s entire production was a shitshow going by Ben Hurst’s testimony (showrunner on SatAM and story editor for Underground)
Sonic Underground was a sad, sad story. With the opportunity looming large for the third season of SatAm, DIC made a creative decision to trash that continuity and strike out in a new direction. The reason: because they could add songs with the whole Sonic, Sonia and Manic thing and collect extra residuals from ASCAP/BMI (the group that pays song royalties - DIC makes deals with songwriters to split or sign over the rights to their compositions - exactly the same way that they force the writers and story editors to sign over all rights to their stories.) Did they ask me or Pat or Len Janson to develop the series? No. In fact, I never heard of the series before a DIC story editor called and asked me and Pat to come to a cattle call for Sonic Underground. I refused (we don't do cattle calls - which, for those of you unfamiliar with the term - is where they bring in about 20 writers to learn about a series and pitch written premises (for free) in hopes of snagging an episode or two). The story editor got us there by guaranteeing us at least a few episodes. So, off we went to a conference room at DIC. We got there and yep, twenty writers. They showed an episode of SatAm (first season) to "illustrate the background" of the characters. It wasn't one of mine or Pat's - it was one of the other episodes. After they described the marvelous new direction (Siblings, Music, Missing Mother, Stupid New Characters) they ended the meeting. We were taken into another room with the story editor who told us he wanted us to write the pilot episode. We did. SEGA read the script, then the story editor was fired and we were hired. They also hired another team of story editors - who survived through about 8 episodes before they left. We also got a few fledgling writers shoved down our throat by the producer (results: / had to rewrite their damned unusable scripts from page one - they still got paid for the script - I got nada) We tried our best to get some lore going, but DIC was racing through the series at 2 episodes a week - an insane pace and one calculated to maximize their profits. We managed to get a three-part origin story through, but with the limited time, we were unable to tie everything together. The only bright spot was that we assigned 6 scripts to Len Janson, who wrote some damn nice stuff.

“A special nod went to Sheila Curran Bernard for Bring Judgment Day: Reclaiming Lead Belly’s Truths from Jim Crow’s Lies, a historical reclamation that pulls no punches in unpacking the racism surrounding one of America’s greatest folk voices.” Music Connection re: 2025 ASCAP Taylor/Thomson Awards.

Telling the kids this was “Das Boot”
A green phosophor CRT in text mode, with mild burn-in, showing the text 300 BPS, N, 8, 1 ATZ ATX3DT CONNECT 300 SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY IN CURITIBA IN 18 HOURS, BUT OUR BUS IS BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE LOCAL PROMOTERS. THEY'VE FORMED SOME UNHOLY ALLIANCE WITH THE BRAZILIAN COUNTERPART OF ASCAP: THE PRS. APPARENTLY THE PRS HAS THE LEGAL POWER TO ARREST PEOPLE, AND THEY WANT A PIECE OF THE NATIONAL TOUR PROMOTER'S MONEY. THE LOCAL SECURITY FORCE, "GANG MEXICANA", HAS BEEN BOUGHT OUT FOR 1800 CRUZADOS AND A CARTON OF MARLBOROS EACH. THE ONLY FACTION STILL OPERATING IN OUR DEFENSE IS "BIG JOHN", OUR PERSONAL SECURITY MAN, AND HE'S HIDING IN HIS ROOM BECAUSE A LOCAL GANG IS OUT FOR HIS BLOOD BECAUSE OF A 1982 KNIFING INCIDENT IN WHICH HE WAS INVOLUED. OUR 345-POUND ROAD MANAGER, RICK ONLY HAD THIS TO SAY: "YOU WANTED THE LIFE OF A ROCK STAR!". PAUL, JIM AND I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS ONE SITUATION WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OUT OF OURSELVES. WE CONVENED A HASTY CONFERENCE IN THE HOTEL LOBBY. PAUL SUGGESTED CONTACTING OUR NATIONAL TOUR PROMOTER IN SAO PAULO, BUT WE REMEMBERED THAT HE WAS IN RECIFE WITH FAITH NO MORE, WHO HAD JUST ARRIVED FOR THEIR BRAZILIAN TOUR. WE THOUGHT ABOUT CONTACTING OUR BRAZILIAN RECORD COMPANY IN RIO, BUT THEY WEREN'T HOME. OUR EVER-DILIGENT AMERICAN MANAGER WAS ARRANGING HELP OF NUMEROUS FORMS, BUT HE WAS IN NEW YORK, AND JUST TOO FAR AWAY TO GET ANYTHING MOVING IN TIME

It should be noted that whether or not a primordial sinister entity exists in an objective sense, the worship of it has the same effect.

Proclaiming righteousness while espousing greed, racism, sexism, homophobia, and murder is behavior those dedicated to the suffering of humankind would display.
A social commentary depicting a well-known recent popular scene from the American political arena. The stars on the American flag in the background are inverted, symbolizing the evil intent of the foreground character, shown mimicking a Nazi Third Reich salute, and its led adherents. It should be noted that whether or not a primordial sinister entity exists in an objective sense, the worship of it has the same effect. Proclaiming righteousness whilst standing in the ultraviolet of the sun openly espousing greed, racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, and murder is precisely the behavior members of a Satanic cult dedicated to the suffering of humankind would display. Originally published on Fine Art America on my page attributed to my given name as opposed to my ASCAP registered stage persona, Michael Mackenzie. Created with the GIMP and Ashampoo Background Remover 2.

I mean literally ASCAP and other fee schedules... percent charged to a streaming station is (used to be?) higher than to a physical station that also streamed...

In my town, we have a university with a school of traditional music. The local PIZZA SHOP HAS AN OPEN MIC night where many of these students play. They pass a hat for donatations. They got fined by ASCAp and BMI. Yet trump gets away with using other’s music all the time.

Where’s the outrage from BMI and ASCAP? Can’t believe The Moody Blues and their record company is ok with this.
