yep, exactly that

Have you ever gotten the feeling that there's basically one booking agent for every club and festival on the planet? They're all pretty indistinguishable from one another when it comes down to the lineups.

Are we ready to accept that Bandcamp Friday continuing into yet another year is a terrible thing for most artists? Or are we still pretending that funneling everyone's cash and release schedule into a monthly musical flea market is somehow empowering for artists?

The people who upload old vinyl rips to youtube for free have done more for music than these hit piece types ever will

Producers that send demos as WeTransfer links that expire after a few days, why do you hate your career?

Most consumers don't care all that much about what they're listening to. That's not new, but how the music industry exploits that reality in the streaming space is, and it's led to an explosion of fake artists and a total transformation of the passive listening economy. 1/2

Do you know how bad you have to be at science to think that a mask does not block a virus but does block oxygen and carbon dioxide?

Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

The AI art debate suffers from context collapse as the word "artist" is as subjective as the word "idiot" We know what it roughly connotes, but it also refers to entirely different kinds of people depending on who you are talking to

Anyone else ever feel that sometimes promoters ask you to curate because it takes off work load, pressure and uses your friendships/ connects for cheaper rates

Legit question; what were all these 145 hard techno people into five years ago?

The scale of the AI art challenge is clearer when you factor that likely 99/100 people have no idea who wrote their favorite songs. Most art/music history reflects how an output is presented, very rarely how it is created

All AI art and music is gonna do is make some people work harder to make mind blowing sh*t and have a recognisable style that doesn't sound like anything else. If you're scared of AI, good, maybe it will scare you out of your complacency 😘
