That Simon is optimistic about it is a really good sign, in the past he’s usually dismissed questions about streaming by explaining the music situation. On the other hand, this is NBC, which as 30 Rock put it, might be a tshirt company in 5 years. Who knows!

I’ve got some fantastic news for you, and from just a couple weeks ago. Was hoping to see an article on here about it but this is as good a place as any to put it:

Thank you! The endless praise from the AV Club was the reason I gave it a shot a decade ago and I’m so glad I did.
The song choices they made throughout the series were really specific, and then in the finale they go with the biggest era-appropriate song imaginable, and it works. It works so well. I remember rolling my…

It’s the tech industry. If no one wants it, Eleven Labs will just juice analytics until an acquisition comes along. Then that company will need to justify their purchase somehow, and suddenly the “Smart Fridge Talks Like Peter Lorre” option is an opt-out feature. It’s a fun industry!!

Yet another band that could probably sell out an arena if the average ticket price was $40 instead of $140. Live music in general is currently in the hands of the least qualified people in the entire industry.
