Yeah I agree, but the trouble is you can’t just download from github. You have to also download YouTube from google (and a specific older version at that) and then use ReVanced to modify - and that’s if it even works for you. This creates a barrier to entry that many people just won’t bother with.
Agree, but just like OP said “there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app” how do i know if links for download are safe, i could just give you this link (revanced-apks.pages.dev) from r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and say they work for me best… I am just saying people need to be more careful what they are downloading and not trusting some random people from internet including ME
In der Top-Ten-Liste der bestverdienenden Musikerinnen taucht auch eine Deutsche auf: Helene Fischer. Sie sei zwar nicht so bekannt wie ihre amerikanischen Kolleginnen, schrieb “Forbes”. Aber “der europäische Superstar” verdiene mehr als die meisten “Diven” in den USA. Zu verdanken habe Fischer das vor allem ihrer “phänomenal erfolgreichen” Tournee. Die Sängerin kommt nach “Forbes”-Schätzungen auf ein Jahreseinkommen von 32 Millionen Dollar - und liegt damit noch vor Céline Dion und Britney Spears.
The top ten list of the highest-earning female musicians also includes a German: Helene Fischer. She is not as famous as her American colleagues, wrote Forbes. But “the European superstar” earns more than most “divas” in the USA. Fischer has her “phenomenally successful” tour to thank for that. According to “Forbes” estimates, the singer has an annual income of 32 million dollars - and is thus ahead of Céline Dion and Britney Spears.
Based on my memory, like a lot of musicians in the “good old days”, the record label cut him out of everything and actively hid royalties from him. The documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” goes into more details. As i recall they find the producer but can’t find the money. Great Doc check it out. Also found this " One of the dramatic highlights of the film is when the interviewer confronts Clarence Avant, the label’s owner. “What happened to all of the royalties?” the interviewer asks. Avant becomes visibly agitated and is unable to offer a satisfactory answer to the question. "
BUT, the “record deals” often were so bad that they didn’t have to hide anything they just structured them in a way that wasn’t very advantageous to the artist and Pay to Play and access to distribution channels meant you you didn’t have a lot of other options. Some tried to work around the system but you probably have never heard of them. A good example that comes to mind is Greg Sage of the Wipers. Youth Of America - The Wipers (1981)
I’ve seen the film when it came out and was listening to Rodriguez before it came out, but my memory must be failing me, as I thought he only sold like 10 albums in the US and hence no royalties, but how he got famous was bootlegged tapes and records in South Africa.
“In conclusion, while there may have been duplicity at Sussex, most likely the reason why Rodriguez never got paid royalties is because there were no royalties to be paid”
That was the heart warming thing for me, he never sold out and never knew he was famous. We all would like to imagine ourselves as such, and we’d never know the difference :)
It doesn't matter how lucky, talented, or hard working you are. We've known that the American music "industry" is an oligopoly for decades, now. Let's not nurture the notion that it's open for talented people to join off their merits.
Saw a version of NMH at the Moore theater in Seattle… I think several people from Elf Power were helping out. Such a classic album!!! Never thought I’d get a chance to see them.
It was good…might have been 2012 or 2015…Jeff had a lot of musicians helping him out on stage to reproduce the sound. Got the feeling he really wanted to give the fans a good show. I think i remember the guy from elf power getting out the saw even… Just read on his wiki that “Slate described Mangum as the “Salinger of Indie Rock.”” So kind of cool that he gets out there and does it at all, I was grateful.
Rodriguez what an awesome human being…just watched this interview with him.
“And what about all the those years of back breaking labor, was that hard on you? … well physically it was hard but there is no shame in hard work…There is no shame in being poor. Poor doesn’t mean dirty. Poor doesn’t mean stupid and poor doesn’t mean, mean”
