It’s one of the top 10 questions I’m asked: ASCAP, BMI or SESAC? Which one should I Join? Here’s a rock ‘n’ roll answer: How about none of them. At least not right away. All of these competing Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) spend a great deal of their members’ money selling “belonging” as if there is an immediate benefit to membership, like collecting money that they have been holding for you.  But experience indicates that you’d be better off waiting to sign with any of them. Wonder why? Here’s the truth about PRO’s in this three part series taken from Moses Avalon’s latest book, 100 Answers to 50 Questions on the Music Business.

Terrestrial radio pays roughly 28% more to publishers per play, per listener than Pandora, according to Billboard estimates from numbers provided in blog posts by David Lowery and Jay Frank. But publishing is a small part of Pandora's royalties. When payments TO all parties (publishers, record labels, performing artists) are taken into account, Pandora's per-play, per-listener royalty is over 14 times that of terrestrial radio.    Lowery's blog post about BMI royalties from radio and Pandora for his song "Low" has gained incredible attention (and 145 comments to date) for its detail and criticism (of Pandora's efforts to reduce what it pays publishers, labels and artists). Frank's follow-up post at his FutureHit.DNA blog includes audience data from Mediabase that allows for an apples-to-apples comparison.    "Low" received $6,888.90 for 18,797 terrestrial radio plays and $84.45 for 1.159 million Pandora plays. (Both figures cover total payments to BMI. Lowery has a 40% writer's share. I assume the publisher takes a 50% share of royalties.) Since many people hear terrestrial radio plays but -- most likely -- only one person hears a Pandora play, it's difficult to compare $6,888.90 and $84.45.

🫱 Finally reached an important milestone on 🫱 Thanksgiving weekend: 240 lbs [~110 kg]👏 ⚡ BMI is now 32.5⚡Really proud of it! 🏅

-> How much more do you think I can grow?

Stop looking at the BMI

Why? I have five reasons:

1. The creator of BMI, Adolphe Quetelet, was not a doctor. He was a mathematician and astronomer.

2. BMI was invented in 1832. Medicine has changed a lot since then.

3. The BMI was derived from data on middle-aged white European men. That doesn't seem to describe all of humanity, does it?

4. The BMI formula is weight divided by height in meters raised to the second power. It ignores many factors - for example, muscle mass or bone mass

5. BMI values have been rounded off. The original values had very many digits after the decimal point.

STOP LOOKING AT THE BMI

BMI low, Grades high

Guy friend

My guy friend and I are both 6’0. He’s been bulking and his goal weight is 90kg. He knows about my ed and has tried to coax me out of it in the past.

Yesterday over discord he suddenly realized that if both of us reached our goal weights (mine being 50kg), I would weigh nearly half as much as he would, despite being the same height.

He is very worried, and I feel really bad about worrying him. But not enough to stop…
