Quotation of the Day for April 15, 2015
"If I had been Jay Z, I would have brought out ten artists that were underground or independent and said, 'These are the people who are struggling to make a living in today's music industry. Whereas this competitor streaming site pays this person 15 cents for X amount of streams, that same amount of streams on my site, on Tidal, will pay that artist this much.' I think they totally blew it by bringing out a bunch of millionaires and billionaires and propping them up onstage and then having them all complain about not being paid."
- Ben Gibbard, Death Cab for Cutie frontman on Jay Z's recently unveiled subscription streaming service, Tidal.
