Despite having a multi-billion-dollar net worth, you decided to stop paying artists for songs with less than 1,000 streams (months before giving Joe Rogan $250,000,000). So I made a playlist of 300 great songs with less than 1,000 streams to give them more visibility and plays.

I love seeing the creative ways people use Spotify. Does anyone have an unusual use case you think others should try?

The below clip actually comes from a very charming Q&A Zach Cregger gave to a class of high school students. Here is his great follow-up answer to what to do if Elfing isn’t working for you
This is Zach Cregger’s approach to first drafts as a screenwriter. It’s called “elfing”. He’s right. ✍🏼

A year ago, I wrote about the decades-long search for September Jones. Her relatives saw the story, and now the long-lost soul singer from Detroit has been found and is collecting royalties. She had no idea how popular her music still was in the U.K. metrotimes.com/music-2/a-det…

Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell’s path moves through mind, body, spirit, lived, not stated. A Brooklyn native, he was raised inside a constant musical flow: brothers performing with Eddie Palmieri and Tito Puente, a home where sound functioned as structure and necessity. By the late ’70s and ’80s, his listening stretched across downtown Manhattan to the No Wave and punk at Mud Club and CBGB, early hip-hop, and ‘the dance floor as institution’ at The Loft and Paradise Garage. These spaces formed a working language. Early production under Instant House, sample-based, layered, spiritual that helped define New York’s imprint on house music’s emergence. At Dance Tracks, a key Lower East Side hub, he built community and momentum, leading to Spiritual Life Music and Sacred Rhythm Music his labels threading Afro-Latin, African diasporic, and electronic forms. Much of what circulates now as Afrohouse traces back to that groundwork. His remix and production work spans Cassandra Wilson, Herbie Hancock, Alan Parsons Project, alongside a noted reworking of Nina Simone’s Feeling Good, that has appeared in many films and compilations. As a DJ, his presence holds weight. With Danny Krivit and François K, he co-founded Body & Soul, a global touchpoint grounded in depth, duration, and collective listening. @blacktronika

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids. Richardson lives in N.C. He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. yahoo.com/news/us/articles/a…

This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Fans will be prohibited from hosting watch parties outside Madison Square Garden or bringing bags into the venue during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, as MSG, the U.S. Secret Service and New York Police ramp up security measures with President Donald Trump planning to attend the game Monday night.
