The Top 10 Museum Exhibitions You Need To See This Summer
When successful bloggers keep pumping sensational click bait shit, I prefer to pump stuff that can enhance your soul. Enjoy!
The Streaming Problem: How Spammers, Superstars, and Tech Giants Gamed the Music Industry
This article blew me away. I had heard of some fraudulent shit happening in streaming but this was a huge eye opener, wow!
Everyday, millions of people celebrate a birthday and every one of those people has a name. The Birthday Crew appears to be on a mission to record a version of “Happy Birthday” for each of them. The group already has the biggies out of the way — “Happy Birthday Matthew” has nearly 400,000 streams — as well as some of the not-so-biggies, including Twyla, Una, and Vada. Once they’ve recorded songs for Frostine, Puck, and Thibault, their work will be complete. Plenty of other artists on Spotify are racking up royalty checks with this same ploy, including Birthday with Bonzo, whose “Levi Happy Birthday to You” has nearly a million streams, and Special Occasions Library, which has sung “Happy Birthday” to Stevie 941,000 times.
Before Spotify, before iTunes, and before the democratization of the music industry, Matt Farley was writing songs about, well, everything. The Massachusetts man has used dozens of pseudonyms to write more than 18,500 songs, many with titles designed for people dicking around on Spotify and searching for, say, the name of their home town. mong Farley’s most popular pseudonyms is the Toilet Bowl Cleaners, whose “The Poop Song” has been streamed more than 400,000 times.
With 65 albums, most with more than 50 tracks, Sir Juan Mutant appears at first glance to be among the most prolific artists on Spotify. But dig a little deeper and it quickly becomes clear that something fishy is going on. Several of the albums use the same artwork, while others have many of the same songs. Take, as a representation of his catalogue, the album Cash the System, which has 50 tracks and clocks in at over 11 hours. The first track, “Can’t Pay You,” is just over three minutes of noodling on a distorted guitar. The 10th track, “Did You Distort Their Minds,” is the exact same song, as is the 11th track, “The Same Agreement,” the 12th track “Bubble Gum,” and the 17th track “Did You Put that Man on Fire.” This is classic keyword spam. By flooding Spotify with song titles, Sir Juan Mutant is increasing his odds that someone will accidentally listen to one. And each time someone does, his bank account grows by a fraction of a cent.
An Expert’s Guide to Calling a Market Top
If you are interested about investing, this is a must read. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say what the market will do in the short term…smh. Next time you hear anyone calling a market top, grab them by the throat and say this to their (stunned) face: “Give me a definite day and time this happens and an exact number we will drop down to. And write it down you jackass so I can come back and make you feel like an ignorant fool”. That should shut them up…but it likely won’t…so avoid them lol.
I’m A Sugar Baby—& My Sugar Mama Venmos Me $3,300 A Month
This is an interview of a sugar baby and how he makes $3,300 a month. Must be nice. I wonder if he declares it as income. I swear the IRS can make a huge dent on this crap if it attacks these websites! Did you think how to get 5x doing this? I know you did you miles junkie 🙂
Since I suck on blog monetization, maybe it is not too late to get in on this? Maybe it will motivate me to work on my physique so I can be sexy to my sugar mama? #fantasy hehe
The Last Hallucinogenic Honey Hunter of Nepal
I have written about this before here. This is just an amazing video about the last traditional honey harvest. Must click!
How Eminem was discovered by Dr. Dre
As an Eminem fan, this account and footage of how Dr. Dre discovered Eminem is absolutely awesome!
Time for Sushi
This is one of those videos that make you scratch your head. Weird is an understatement. From Japan, not surprised. Maybe not super safe for work…
And I leave you with this…

Good morning.
Second!
Welcome back!
I now have 3 posts ready to post here during upcoming vacation…One is Part One of my trip to Iran…last pic of that post is Tehran from above at night. Getting there very slowly. Them trip reports are such a major time suck, wow!
I already have 3 links for next Sunday…I thought about adding them to this one but it would have been way too long. Too much awesomeness perhaps?
Did Ingy give up finally?
Dow times in sports these days: Baseball, tennis, golf, and…Gold Cup….Zzzzzzzz
This just in:
Delta kicked Ann Coulter out of her extra-legroom seat which she reserved in advance. Seems she was outraged and took to the net to vent her revenge. Blame it on Obama, honey.
Just when I thought there’s no reason to fly Delta.
HT: VFTW. Look for an interview with Coulter by René when he’s done with the quiche exposé.
Lol, you are on a roll Sunday morning…
quiche expose….clap, clap, clap #respect
When they kicked out AnnCoulter I did not complain, for I hate righties. When they kicked out the Independent I did not complain because I am a dyed in the wool lefty. When they came for me (well you know the rest). Too many partisans willing to watch someone on the other side suffer. Sad.
“suffer”
That’s just soooooo funny!!
Told you to have the hamburger and avoid the quiche man!
Quiche expose, WTF!!! Sam is the MVP today
Quiche! Go Sam!!
Autoslash is on a roll, another price slash in my SFO car rental today! About $25 this time.
Original price was $482, now we are down to $287.
Who said these guys slowed down?
It’s for a full size car for 9 days. With Hertz. I will try to upgrade me to a convertible using my charm at the counter hehe
so here’s my entry for Dumb Question of the Day:
When you originally booked this did you enter a discount code (CDP #) or just book at full price (!) and trust AutoSlash to do its magic?
TIA ~ #TBBon
Tried at first, very quickly, to see what I could do with a few codes…
Since I started so early, with so many other things on the to do list, I let Autoslash run with it in original price having full confidence that it will get me a good deal in the end. Most importantly, not having me keep checking by myself #timemanagement
Loyalty Lobby is really getting on my nerves now…
Days later, he repeats that stupid incident of a guy checking a can of beer…WTF dude!
UNAUTHORIZED, UNOFFICIAL and UNWANTED POLL
Hack My Trip use to be a must read for me every morning. BUT… this site like so many others (an our hobby for that matter) have gone down faster than a five dollar w….
Renamed Travel Codex around the time of Scott’s marriage the site has since become irrelevant and of no value to me.
Take Our Poll….
What do you find more annoying about Travel Codex, A Rocky Moran post or Scott Mackenzie’s Gravatar with a pilot headset on (we get it Scott’ you had flying lessons, I can drive a School Bus and I don’t have to brag about it.)
I’d say the gravatar.
Another site that’s gone downhill.
Id say the Rocky Moron posts
At this rate I shall just leave Mile Nerd and add TBB on the Blogs I Like list and call it a done deal…
MileNerd, DOC with the asterisk of butt kissing, TBB, skip the rest.
Eminem fan but not a fan of Dr. Dre?
“The Defiant Ones” is about the legends Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine.
On an unrelated note, a generation of foreigners learnt English from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Easy E, Ice-T, Tupac and 2 Live Crew rather than the Backstreet boys, NSYNC or NKOTB.
Sad?
sounds racist to me
If you grew up listening to Hip Hop in Yugoslavia at least you learnt how to curse in English during the civil war.
Eminem and Public Enemy…
I like the rest but I don’t love them 🙂
So dead today in the blogs…
But the Titans just keep on pumping sounding always so excited about the same old cards, sad!
