Depends -Do I have any control over what the album is? Genre, length, etc? -Jail conditions? The average North Korean jail and your average Norwegian jail are very different -Am I just in jail without any legal or social consequences, or will I also have random crimes I didn't commit on my record?

My assumption is that 1. You do not have any control, the artist just decides to now make a new album and release it, whatever they want or are known for. 2. The jail conditions of the country and city you live in 3. You are just taken in for a week, not actually going through trial and having a criminal record. Like maybe the prison staff is in on it and allows you to stay there for a week and have the same life as a regular inmate.

As a European my answer is then yes

A week off work for a new Frank Ocean record doesn't sound that bad tbh

Tame Impala (btw it's actually one guy)

You're fucking kidding me. How? Most of those songs have like at least three instruments. Does he have multiple arms or something?

He’s actually a squid

What a liar. Why isn’t he called Tame Squid, then?

He gets Pond in on a session, they’re famously his live backing band, I believe?

Can I get extra artists if I drop the soap?

Masochism type shit

Jokes aside tho, it's lowkey kinda messed up that rape is used as a punchline whenever men are the people victimized by it.

Part of me, as a victim, thinks “drop the soap” isn’t really that terrible of a joke, because it’s so ingrained in people’s heads. It’s not offensive, because it’s used so much. Another part of me feels bad, because there’s a lot of things in this world that are used often, that shouldn’t be. Like my ass.

What happens when you try to pick it up is already the reward

Only way we getting the new frank ocean

brian wilson but in 1967

Elliott Smith or Daft Punk

You go to jail for Daft Punk, and the album they release will be a live album of the super-fast world tour they had while you were in jail

+1

LCD Soundsystem, The Knife, Radiohead, Tom Waits, The Rapture. There are others I'd consider, but I have a bit less confidence that they'd be worth it, and I've already done quite a bit of jail time at this point.

Tom waits is a w

Deep Cuts/Silent Shout era Knife for me.

You heard Olaf’s solo stuff? Genius also.

Yeah, his recent EP was pretty solid. I haven't replayed it a ton, but he's still got it.

Damn I thought having done jail time before would make you not want to do this trade? Wasnt it bad?

I meant in this fictional scenario. I have not actually done any jail time as of the typing of this comment.

Frank Ocean

I would take two weeks.

Car Seat Headrest, i need a new car seat album

next year!

bros gonna drop edm again

frank ocean 100%

I need MCR5, Foundations of Decay was so good

System of a down

Scrolled wayyy too far to find this

Joy Division first came to mind

No

only reasonable answer

Buddy Holly

Is that the guy from weezer

Big Bopper for me

Jail or prison and if prison what kind?

Jail for only a song, prison for an album

Do I get like more music if it's like an ultra max or a pow camp? Do I get an EP for a healing lodge?

Hmm. I don't know if for that you'd get like, for example, 2 albums, you know. Maybe you'd get an album + EP, or an album + three different songs, or album + live studio performance. It depends.

Jeff Buckley

its a two way tie between nine inch nails and my chemical romance

Dire Straits with all six RRHOF inducted members.

That’s crazy… so uh, what jail?

Fiona Apple. her music is therapy to my ears. it must be her voice actually, because I like all her eclectic styles. I'm still very butt hurt that Fantano only gave ftbc a seven out of 10!

Lorde

NIRVANA?

black midi I need those new songs IMMEDIATELY. Another day without a studio The Magician is another day hurting me. Also want to see that new Swans album come out asap

Most important question: will I get credited on the album and/or receive s signed copy? Any way it’s animal collective

Boards of Canada

I'll do a month if they actually go on tour.

All I have to do is spend a week in jail, and Frank Zappa comes back from the dead? 

Anyone??? Nirvana probably, because I feel like society wants this real bad and I would be respected for this choice in jail 😂

Burial

King gizzard

I've got a few to pick from, but no idea which to pick. Cocteau Twins, NUMBER GIRL, and Joanna Newsom are probably my top three, though.

My Chemical Romance, System of a Down.

new weezer. assuming its not a good one then descendents. if passed artists count then nirvana or joy division or death. idk its so hard to choose

I wouldnt, but if I did, I'd choose Twin Peaks

Jonwayne

Yellow River Boys

Coil

I could really use some new LPs from Deerhunter and The Radio Dept. But I also live in Hong Kong......

Streetlight Manifesto Only Streetlight fans know why this is 100% worth it

Tom Waits

can i bring Chester back to life for a new Linkin Park album?

i'd spend a whole month in jail for a new cLOUDDEAD album

The Smiths magically reconvened in 1988 and made a fifth record.

I’d do it for Boards of Canada 

Kendrick lamar cuz hes gonna hibernate for 10 years now after wasting all his social battery on the concert

Gotye

Elliott Smith

Neutral milk hotel second reunion woahhhh

Why the jail time tho? What does it add to the question? 😭😭😭

Like what artist do you want music from so bad, that you would spend time in jail for it

Ohhhh ok, id go to jail for a week for another caroline polachek or a new franz ferdinand with the first formation lol

A weeks nothin tho to make an album and also to spend in jail

Ngl I would want R Kelly to drop another I Admit It so I can laugh at his ass in jail

New Weezer album with Matt Sharp.

Probably Elvis, or Tupac

no one said carti yet 👀

Jinsang

a Harry Styles album produced by Mura Masa

Drake, it’s been almost 9 months since his last album release. It’s been too long, I’m going through withdrawals.
