"Spotify's new scam" - I'm going to post this three times for different time zones. I have thought this through overnight and I have a personal plan. I would rather not have to implement the plan, but if Spotify goes through with the -1,000 stream thing, I'll have to

Do any of you #musicians out there have stories about switching from one brand of gear to another and then regretting that decision? E.g., I recently bought some #Paiste cymbals only to realize that I prefer the #Zildjian cymbals I've played pretty much my whole life. Thank heavens I hadn't sold my Zildjians! 🥁 #musicproduction

Do you think that as #humans (and #musicians or any kind of artistic or professional work) we should stop using services that #disrespect us, even though there may be a significant audience on such #platforms? I am thinking of #spotify, #applemusic, #instagram, #facebook, #youtube and the likes. Or is it maybe enough to just not use such services for our own #consumption? #fairness #respect

I'm gonna take it easy this Friday.
I have a few things I want to recommend, and I will def do that, but, though I enjoy supporting and boosting #IndieMusicians, #Musicians and #Music in general, the whole #BandCamp #SongTradrCamp thing has left a seriously bad taste in my mouth.
It feels a bit much to promote the platform that has openly thumbed it's nose at #Unions and #Workers and I cannot see a good future for #Artists or #Creators there.
WOOOW. You guys. LOOK. What a sign. The #music signs are SIGNING.
I step out of emergency dental surgery (a toot for another day), and jump back into learning more about #icecast and #funkwhale. I immediately receive notification from nameless site, which alerts me to my friend leaving this very crucial comment on another friends post regarding #SpotifyWrapped and their underpayment of #musicians:
HOLD TIGHT YOU GUYS. I’M BRINGING THE LA UNDERGROUND LEGENDS.
I just finished the first essay in #JeffSharlet’s “#TheUndertow: scenes from a slow #civilWar. ” It’s a reflection on the ‘masks’ we wear (w/ #HarryBelafonte).
I know it’s not possible to know everything. But there’s so much that I didn’t know. Like this desegregated Revlon-sponsored, award-winning 1959 #TV special: https://youtu.be/L6oBqOR8kzo?feature=shared

Reverence For #Genius The Perfect Words To Describe How #Musicians, #Guitarists, and Fans, Including This #Writer, Have Felt About Ry Cooder
“With Ry, man, he can just play one note on the slide and it just melts.” That’s all I have to say about it. It’s amazing. He made a ton of soundtracks in addition to his many records, and all of them is fantastic. He’s such a musicologist that music and guitar appear to be written all over his #DNA. I can’t help but be inspired”

For the trained musicians under us, what is happening ‘music theoretically’ in Sabaton’s The Unkillable Soldier? (It’s heavy metal.)
Starting minute 3:27 there is a certain … key change? It suddenly feels ‘uplifted’ and opens up. Is it the instrumentation? The fact they ‘cut in the expectation’ of the chorus?
I can’t seem to put my finger on it, but I love the effect and was hoping you could enlighten me. For the full effect listen to whole song.

Does anyone know how to get your song removed from a Spotify playlist? I'm pretty sure I've been added to a bot playlist as I haven't paid for, or even submitted my songs to any playlists.
The one I was added to is called TikTok 2023 (I don't have any content on TikTok) by Toxter, and all the streams are coming from Helsinki, Finland.

Most of #artists and #Producers as well as #Musicians will not get ANY royalties next year from #Spotify.
I personally understand the background but can't agree. If you want to keep your topline growing or at least stay at the same level and feed so-called business "elite" please use other ways to do this. So many talents are there below this 1000-streams threshold!

A question for fellow #musicians and others with #AbsolutePitch:
Since I came down with a cold on Monday, I've been hearing some pitches (especially near C4) up to a half-step below their actual value in my left ear. My right ear is so far unaffected.
What's going on here? Should I be alarmed? Anything I can do to clear it up?
Any info/input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Guitar's been my thing, but aging fingers are saying no. So, I've been slowly getting okay at keys the last few years, with a heavy focus on #B3 and theory.
I've got my basics now, along with a fake-but-usable organ (has Drawbars/Chorus/Perc/Leslie controls & ok sound) but I need a human mentor for working this contraption.
I had one, but he was older and left us before I could show him what I've learned and have him be proud.

"By stepping onto Bandcamp’s turf and staking its claim over artists’ non-streaming sources of revenue — by, in the company’s words, allowing users to “shop your offers more easily” — Spotify will probably boost non-music sales for artists, but in the process fortify its position as the music industry’s default platform." #Spotify #Bandcamp #Musicians #Musodon #Music #Platform #Songtradr #Groan #Grimace https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/spotify-is-eating-the-entire-music-business.html
