With that headline, I thought it was going to be about Simon Cowell or the CEO of one of the 3 corporations that own the rights to all music..

The music scene was the one single thing the UK had left
Simon Cowell will rot in hell with a burning chicken shoved up his colon
A full English is the best breakfast there is, so at least you still have that..
It lacks grits. Properly done grits make an English Breakfast that much better.
Full Scottish but point taken
What's the difference between the Scottish and the English?
I'm speaking specifically about the breakfasts, mind you, not the people 😁
Square sausage. No kidding either
Indie music is a thing
I had no idea. Next you're going to tell me that indie MOVIES exist, or some such nonsense.
Long read, but really interesting bit of music history
Wasn't expecting such a long read. Definitely interesting!
Read How Music Got Free - it's a book based about these same events.
Missed opportunity for his parents to call him Danny. Then he could say "I'm getting too old for this shit".
That line appeared in "To Live and Die in LA" in exactly the same circumstances two years before "Lethal Weapon". TLaDLA also had the first wrong way car chase that's now a staple of every action movie. It's funny how it was so influential in the industry but has so little lingering cultural impact.
I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing
That movies unexpected turn in the third act messed with my head.
TL;DR: It's about the warez "scene", specifically about music pre-releases. A decent read, but one you may have seen before.
