# Show Notes In which we talk about what happens when people yell at each other about what they should and shouldn't be writing, how musicians' attitudes toward "making a career of it" seem to have shifted in the last few decades, and why not having a business plan is a bad plan. ## Chapters - Beating Up Writers (1:57--17:35): everyone from tech startups to Nicholas Kristof has an opinion about what you should be writing---and so do we... sort of. - Musical Careering (17:35--28:50): an interview with Future Islands prompts some reflection on what exactly a "career" in the music world is. - Losing Editorially (28:50--41:55): no business plan means you might not stick around as a company---and that makes us sad. # Music - Opening music: ["Know How To Live"](http://papercitymusic.bandcamp.com/track/know-how-to-live) by Paper City - Closing music: [Winning Slowly Theme](https://soundcloud.com/chriskrycho/winning-slowly) by Chris Krycho. Used by dint of being written for the show. # Links - [Blogging vs. Building](https://medium.com/on-startups/bc6893bb5cd5) - [Professors, We Need You!](http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/16/opinion/sunday/kristof-professors-we-need-you.html) - [Interview with Future Islands](http://pitchfork.com/features/update/9315-future-islands/) - [Goodbye to Editorially](http://stet.editorially.com/articles/goodbye/)
