- woodrowbarlow 7y agothat thread is dominated by confusion about what backstage _is_. i'm hoping this thread will have some new insights.
- dang 7y agoYes; perhaps that's why they made this article. (Just to be clear, the reason for linking to previous threads is just to satisfy curiosity. If it were a dupe we'd mark it as such.)

- gxon 7y agoI'd like a way to directly tip artists. Let me set a tip budget in my account and then give me a button push a few cents any time I listen to a song I really love.
- aliswe 7y agoI think it looks nice!
