on the other side of the streaming argument, you should absolutely be pissed at every arm of the vinyl mfg industry for never reinvesting in itself to be better + for non-stop price gouging. Records do not need to be $25-30/ea. They also don't need to be made from toxic materials

This guy did exactly what Spotify does but instead he gets felonies
A music producer was arrested Wednesday and charged with multiple felonies for allegedly scamming more than $10m in royalties using hundreds of thousands of AI-generated songs.

i think a lot about the degree to which music and arts in general have been debased in my lifetime. it's almost like people with power and money would rather buy your farm than let something potentially subversive and/or culture shifting occur with tons of public visibility

it's really odd that basically every record label has had to pivot to all competing with each other for a sale on the same day because theres only one "benevolent" platform that doesn't take fees for 24 hours once a month

- pay someone to pay a streaming service to pump you into the algo.
- pay someone who claims they have editorial and streaming reach (30% chance it works)
- have a ton of instagram followers who will like your post but never listen to the record and definitely won't buy it.
I honestly have no clue how to promote a record in 2023.
Call me old, but I'm utterly perplexed.

kamala said nothing about healthcare reform, tax reform, apparently supports continued genocide, said "guns aren't going anywhere" and didn't offer any solutions in the way of inflation.

ever meet an "artist" who dresses like a Dune character and somehow has an apartment in Dumbo Heights but doesnt ever seem to really work or talk about work?
Young ppl, please do yourself a favor before beating yourself up for not achieving or owning xyz compared to your peers, google what their parents do for a living. The game is rigged, the quality of your work is no worse than theirs, and you’re working harder under more stress.

I wonder if it’s UX or simply the phenomena of being “on brand”, but a lack of competitors for things like Bandcamp, Discogs, Reverb etc is a big reason why things go haywire when you get news like the kind we got today

Happy Birthday John Coltrane, the greatest musician who ever lived. It's a shame that he is no longer with us and that we got stuck with Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and two George Bushes. They'll never hear him playing his horn in the heavenly realm bc all 4 of them are going to hell.

Glad to see Pitchfork still gets basic laws of nature incorrect from time to time. This album is the 10 by which we measure all other 10's, no debate to be had

we don't talk enough about why it is that publishing entities (record labels, publishing houses etc) expect their creators to do all of the groundwork "building a digital brand" when that's the nut they're supposedly in the business of cracking
I wrote about the soul-sucking labor of self-promotion and "audience building" that basically every artist/journalist/creative worker has to do now ... unless they are very lucky

you can hear the complete disregard for making a paletable product built-in to the new cindy lee record and it's really refreshing. i cant imagine listening to or looking at the album art of this record inside the prison cell of the spotify ux either. funny how that works

the smoothing of everything. brand loving capitalist brainwashing has made it so most people can’t bear to be adventurous. The people who won’t go out of their way to listen to this love their brand more than they love the music. Fuck em
Seen a few people say they haven't/won't listen to the Cindy Lee record because it's not on Spotify (even though it's free on YouTube). Madness! The smoothing of tech and removal of options outside of streaming is doing serious harm to people's curiosity.

Lots of record labels switching to yearly payouts, which is extremely unhelpful for artists. What does a record label look like in 10 years if streaming continues to debase streamable media? Likely vanished bc they're starting to look like Uber Eats-eqsue transaction fee brokers
Feel like I hear TONS of people speaking these days about how US artists/musicians/writers shouldnt expect a living wage for their work. What if instead of shaming people asking for fair compensation we advocated for governmental/institutional assistance. Creative labor is work💯

on the second or third date with my now fianceé, she choked on a potato chip while we were waiting for falafel wraps. i didn't know what to do, so i karate chopped her throat to break the chip. she looked disturbed and then laughed at me. it somehow worked and the rest is history

if a record label is approaching your work with fear about sales and trying to cost cut everything, how can you expect them to do any good if they don’t have faith in the thing they’re supposed to represent?

streaming algorithms are a great example of this: a device which hyper-refines palatable things you already like until it turns into soylent. I was lucky enough to accidentally encounter a Kevin Drumm LP at the same time I had a huge bag of mushrooms in 2005. Wild night
