It’s easy to blame Spotify for the music industry’s woes and Daniel Elk is a cunt for sure but I’d also add 98% of humans don’t value music either.

Folks who only contribute £9.99 per month are essentially rent seeking on musicians time.

Maybe this justifies nuclear war? It’s all very Broadstairs. :Nuclear:

Spotify is a good place to seek out new artists, but I try to buy albums direct from the artists I find .. none of the digital stuff, actual physical CDs/vinyl/merch

I even know people who listen to a song or two by a particular artist and have never experienced those songs in context with the full album, as it was meant to be heard .. savages!

Indeed! I still love albums, my favourites all put me in that world for 40 or so minutes. Some songs stand up well alone but it’s always nice to hear where the artist was at in that time and space.

Interestingly, a lot of young musicians are focused on making the best 1 minute video now as that’s what drives engagement.
