Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I don't deny that she makes songs people find catchy, but the whole statistics system is just fucked.

It reminds me of the summer I spent working for a music store. If there was a big album coming out, the labels would send a truck full of albums. Those counted as 'sales'. A month later, we'd send back the thousands of copies now that the album was "charting".

It was bullshit then. It's more bullshit now. I have zero fucking respect for the whole fucking institution. It's corrupt as all fuck. It might just as well be made up of elected officials, it's that corrupt. These days they're counting an algorithm that doesn't even count streams but estimates the number of streams.

Lies, damned lies and statistics

At this point, they're not even statistics! It wasn't even statistics when I worked at the music store. It was fake statistics, meaning not based in reality. They'd literally send thousands and thousands of records. Like enough to fill a stock room.

These days, they're just making sure their numbers mean what they want them to mean.

Fuckers...

I think I've shared it before, but it makes me want to listen to "Get In The Ring" (a little known Guns and Roses song).
