It's called sarcasm...
What T! said.... replace keyboard with your feet, travelling and sifting through vinyl, shops and dealing with actual people.T_! wrote:people moaning about waiting for releases... i recall in the garage days you had to wait sometimes years for stuff to come out, and there was no internet to track it down, you had to travel to an actual record shop
Peeps don't appreciate how easy they got it thesedays
Loefah isn't god man. Allow the bum talk.BlueyTeamTom wrote:let's be honest, it's not 81 years, because otherwise we'd still be waiting on the second release.
IMO you should just be glad they are getting a release, and the product that is coming, is what the artist/label intends and wants.
Loefah himself addressed a previous uprise of aggression towards this issue a while ago, you can find it in an interview with the man himself, if you search.
I don't share this frustration
We have to listen to producers and labels bitch and moan incessantly year after year about not making any money and how the "scene has moved on" and bullshit excuses like this. Then you ask them where their tunes are and they want to hold on to them for God-knows-what reason (to help DJs? Why?) and keep the tunes exclusive.NW DUBAHOLIC wrote:dylanlolwut wrote: Loefah: "Ah mate, I learnt this back in dubstep: you can’t please all the people all the time."

Meanwhile fans have a podcast from 18 months ago where Loefah rinsed out ALL of his best tunes that they have saved to their computer. They listen to it at work, on the way to school, on the bus, at the gym. They know every track, every minute of every tune. And eventually they tire of it and move on.
Nearly 2 years later Loefah will release the tune, a record will sell 5000 copies in stores and maybe sell a few thousand MP3s online. Then he'll mope about and complain about how there's not a lot of money in it for him. Rinse and repeat.
I mean, what the fuck? Did Kanye sit on "Mercy" for 2 years? That shit hit the Internet and the NEXT DAY it was up for sale.
I will not and will NEVER understand why producers of any kind of underground electronic music whether it be jungle/idm/techno/house/dubstep/fuckingwhateverstep SIT on tunes to profit NOBODY except fucking DJs and nightclub promoters.
GET YOUR FUCKING TUNES OUT THE DOOR. MAKE MONEY. FUCK BITCHES.

Your whole post revolved around the idea of trying to make money.
