Kay Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 6 hours ago, two said: They demonstrate how Tom is willing to experiment musically whereas the California album was just a regression to old blink- more of the same. Their best album- the self-titled one- owes a lot to Tom's willingness to try new shit. Take Tom out of the equation and what do you get? California. Before I was willing to be open-minded but finally it was like a personal epiphany- "fuck this album". That EP was not 'experimenting musically' it was a thrown together cash grab. take the songs, shove it on acoustic and sprinkle electric mess on top does not make a decent 'Acoustic' EP. I hate California but that EP is definitely not an example of Tom trying new things or being particularly talented. Of Nightmares did a much better job of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ok so the AVA Movement has apparently been picking up on random "10/11" numbers in Tom's recent Instagram posts, I scoffed it off as BS and laughed at the thought of Tom being smart enough to hide a message in his social media. BUT, 12 hours ago Tom posted another photo of himself with a caption saying "Calm before the storm...", and just a few minutes ago updated his Instagram bio to contain this link: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/inside-knowledge-about-unidentified-aerial-phenomena_us_59dc1230e4b0b48cd8e0a5c7 Tom has been busy, and there is an announcement tomorrow. Looks like he started a new research company/initiative: https://dpo.tothestarsacademy.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just a long-term bit or something but Mark is never smiling in photos, never excited in interviews, he doesn't seem all that happy to me. But that doesn't mean he doesn't prefer the setup they have now vs. with Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build a vehicle that defies space time? I’ll apply for a job if they’re paying the going rate for computer engineers. They could make me write programs that make farts for all I care if they’re paying me six figures. The problem is I imagine employees wouldn’t get paid properly and I don’t know if I could handle being around conspiracy theorists all day.

Ghent Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 The people who invest in this PBC are going to get burned so badly. I feel sorry for the kids who get swindled here. That's a lot of money 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 For only ~$200 you can get all the sekrets!!!! It's actually hilarious that Poet Anderson/Strange Times are even mentioned on that website LOL. It even says "Strange Times Record in Development". Like I totally understand Tom putting together a board of people to research and do some cool projects, but please separate the "Academy" from the normal TTS stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Here is the fine print I'm digging into https://to-the-stars-web-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/TTSA_Offering_Circular_092917_vLAUNCH_DAY.pdf Already on page 5: "To date, our revenues have not been sufficient to fund operations. Thus, until we can generate sufficient cash flows to fund operations, we aredependent on raising additional capital through debt and/or equity transactions" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 so the translation is "no one wants to buy T shirts with a spaceman on from an ex rocker in a converted auto shop, so now we're begging" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNow Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 This is going to end very poorly for Toms reputation. Kids are going to invest $200 with no idea how investments work and then nothing is going to happen just like the last two years of to the Stars and his remaining fans will turn on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
