Great #SatsbySW info session in Austin today from our new friends with nostr:npub1h8gzew8am6cezuq7cpjgudldra40hgnruqrqlsrqnxnzs5wjtczqztps02 and nostr:npub1d9a94klcx90k073pmlc606q9gyhtmg4p4h0jrzs0j0s34whjlzxq2sw3fp

Central to our mission at #atxmusicians nonprofit is educating those we serve to better advocate for themselves, and understanding new technology that takes the power away from streaming and social giants to give it back to the people is very exciting indeed. I look forward to partnering with these folks more in helping improve the quality of life for musicians everywhere. Thanks nostr:npub1a6c3jcdj23ptzcuflek8a04f4hc2cdkat95pd6n3r8jjrwyzrw0q43lfrr !

Thanks for joining us, Pat! Great to meet you and to see you here as well

From what I understand wavlake is actually more of a centralized system. They are using podcastindex.org and Adam Curry helped get wavlake on the map because wavlake is using RSS and he was able to play music from them in a podcast. And it's also thanks to podcasting 2.0 who invented the wallet switching technology. There are artists who self host on our own websites and have our own nodes/wallets for Bitcoin and the closest we get to a centralized system is podcastindex being the directory for all the apps out there. All the apps that people can listen to wavlake artists in. But you can't listen to self hosted artists on wavlake. It's one way. And on wavlake you have to agree to wavlake terms(which aren't bad) but they are still like a middle man in this way. If people boost/zap our self hosted songs, the splits are visible how much to who right in our feed for all to see. Trasnparent. Wavlake just goes to wavlake, then they split it internally, not in the open. That might be fine. Maybe it has to do with how their wallets work. But I'd rather not create another industry to be controlled by people at the top. Terms and conditions can change and if they create a system you end up relying on and then they tell you they are taking more fees, you have to agree cuz everyone's already built around this centralized system. We want to create a community of people who value your music by making top quality music and people will decide for themselves how much it's worth. Just some of my scatterbrained thoughts on the subject 😁 - TJ

excellent points, TJ!

Dig independent music? Tune in for my takeover as guest artist DJ on Fountain Radio today at 12pm Central!

Friday 13 Dec (12:00 CST) - Abel James

"When he’s not writing New York Times bestsellers, recording new episodes for his award-winning podcast, or launching #1 food and health apps, Abel James likes to make music. He is a multi-talented madman. As a musician and songwriter, Abel has toured internationally, jammed with superstars, and won several awards for vocal performance. Earlier this year he made his album “Swamp Thing” available on Fountain. Ever since, he has become increasingly passionate about this new movement and attracted attention from new listeners with his fat, rocky blues sound." - Fountain FM

Music discovery isn’t what it used to be. Fountain Radio makes it fun again.

Wave goodbye to algorithmic playlists and say hello to a new communal listening experience powered by Bitcoin and Nostr.

Fountain Radio is live in version 1.1.8 now. Here's how it works:

Add and upvote tracks in the queue ➕

Search for any song on Fountain and pay 100 sats to add it to the queue.. Upvote any track in the queue to change its position. 1 sat equals 1 upvote and the track with the most upvotes will play next.

Support the artist currently playing ⚡️

Boost to send a payment with a message on enable streaming to send a small amount for every minute you spend listening. 95% of every boost and streaming payment goes directly to the artist currently playing.

Post in the live chat 💬

Hang out with other listeners in the live chat by connecting Nostr. You can post chat messages for free. Every time a track is added or upvoted this appears in the activity feed too.

Save tracks to your library 💜

Listen to your latest discoveries again later in the app. Tap on any content card to add a song to your library or a playlist, or see more music from that artist.

Listen to Fountain Radio on other apps 🎧

Fountain Radio now has its own RSS feed so you can tune in on any podcast app that supports live streams and Nostr live streaming platforms like nostr:npub1eaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsqarcgz.

Artist takeovers 🔒

Artists can now take control of the music and host a listening party. During a takeover, only the host can add tracks to the queue and upvotes are disabled.

The first artist takeover will be with nostr:npub19r9qrxmckj2vyk5a5ttyt966s5qu06vmzyczuh97wj8wtyluktxqymeukr on Wednesday 27th November at 12:00pm EST. Want to host a takeover? Get in touch and we will get you scheduled in.

You can also find Fountain Radio on our website here:

Fountain Radio could change the game.

Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other sketchy, non-food ingredients?

And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food?

We're back this week with our dear friend, Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster and founder of Eat Happy Kitchen.

She's here to show you how the food we buy in the grocery store actually gets made, and it's not always pretty.

In this episode with Anna, you're about to hear why nearly all food products contain non-food ingredients, how to muster up the courage to start your own business without losing your mind (or your pants), how to achieve longevity in the world of podcasting and media, from a couple of OGs, an optimistic vision for the future of human creativity in the age of AI, and much more…
