Man Spends Entire Weekend Registering 244 Songs With Royalty Agencies, Emerges From Spreadsheet ‘A Different Person’
Witnesses say he now speaks fluently in ISRC codes.
A Florida songwriter has emerged from a weekend-long registration marathon after logging every one of his 244 songs with every royalty organization he could find, according to people who heard him say “IPI” 400 times.
“I used to think music was about melodies,” said Vladimir Tokarev. “Now I know it is about metadata.”
Friends say he greeted them on Monday by their ISRC codes and asked whether their publishing splits were “properly aligned.”
“Every stream is a tiny paycheck. I just made sure all the tiny paychecks know my address.”
Experts say the move is actually smart. Unregistered songs leave money behind; registered ones get paid. Tokarev is reportedly celebrating by registering the celebration.
The jokes are made up. The music is real.
