You might have heard that Bob Dylan, RHCP, Neil Young and even David Guetta have sold the rights to their music to companies like Hipgnosis for obscene sums of money. What does this mean? Why do artists do that? Did Tony really make three puns despite not being a rock music fan? Chuck, Srikeit and Tony get together to talk about this new trend (artists selling music, that is - not Tony making rock puns) and the conversation gradually steers to what it means for the future of music, art and life itself. Referenced in the episode - Ted Gioia's predictions on the future of music. https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/12-predictions-for-the-future-of Add one part news, one part bad jokes, one part Wikipedia research, one part cult references from spending too much time on the internet, one part Wodehouse quotes, and one part quality puns, and you get Simblified.
