I do well with memes and gifs.

Have you seen the Wealthy Eddie Vedder thread? I picked up on that right away.

No joke, this is the one I read.

Edit: Image not working, it's got the same title and everything:

You should try it sometime.

40% to Ed?? Fuck.

Considering he writes almost all the lyrics and contributes musically to a good chunk of the songs...

OK so what does this deal with Universal mean?

or will all be explained at the 11th album pre-release lyric reading party at BOB's Corpus Christi condo...

Thanks Trag. In my audio days we did a lot of radio and television work and often we needed to get licensing for either an existing piece or for us to record a soundalike. I don't miss the days of dealing with publishing houses. Man it took ages in the 90s doing everything by fax.

And the band I was in decided to allocate 30% to lyrics, 30% to the initial music writer or riff writer and then split the remaining 40% between each five members.

So the singer usually got 38%. Or if it was a jam from scratch (rarely admitted) the singer could walk away with 44%.

As a drummer I had 8% most of the time except one occasion when a song derived from a groove I had and I got 18%.

I admire bands that do the even split deal. Very very rare though.

Everytime I see this thread I think it's about Pearl Jam severing ties with animal rights groups.

This thread is pissing me off

Spoiler: show

mostly because I don't even know what it is about.

Can't think of a better place to put this.

It's about whether or not Pearl Jam is leaving ASCAP, I believe

It's about how Dave A has made a living for the last 21 years.
