Detroit is a global music capital, and our artists have made their mark on our culture in countless ways. Streaming has upended the music industry, making it harder for artists to survive. The Living Wage for Musicians Act aims to give artists the economic justice they deserve.

I'm grateful that Cambridge & Boston are so walkable on days like today when the @MBTA 47 bus flew right by me (and a lady with a stroller!) waiting by the Central Sq library at 9:15. Bus was obviously not full. I just walked the 2 miles to Fenway. Never saw another 47 pass by.

Jokes aside the Pitchfork news is a grim reminder of the sad state of media in 2024 as culture publications that actually have name recognition get turned into shades of their former selves as we consolidate all of media into a single Taco Bell

This is one of the most touching tributes to landlords I’ve ever seen. 1222 Comm Ave is REBORN as a new bastion of culture and camaraderie in this goooooooorgeous Taco Bell Cantina. I mean, hell, shoot me in the face with a sour cream gun already, I’m tired of waiting!!!!

for anyone else thinking about pitchfork, bandcamp, writing and criticism, discovering culture, etc... this was a fascinating conversation to listen to nytimes.com/2024/01/09/opini…

the other consequence of something like pitchfork becoming a shell of itself is that it means that the live music sphere will be increasingly filled of algorithm and tiktok music, which means even more homogeneity than there is (see also: every festival lineup this year)

"Sure, we don’t know what Pitchfork x GQ will look like yet, but there’s a clear clash in values between an outlet that prioritises criticism and one that revolves around access to celebrities."

This is wage theft. 2/3 of my catalog will be demonetized under this new payment scheme. As a working artist struggling to earn above the poverty line this will only drive me and my work closer to the edge. Join @UMAW_ and fight for fair compensation in the streaming industry ❤️

The income pyramid in streaming is already steep cause of algorithms, playlists and payola. And now, new Spotify accounting means 82.7% of tracks on the platform will not be paid at all - any money those tracks earn will be redirected to those at the top instead. A regressive tax
