Ever wondered how Spotify can make millions while paying artists so little? @pluralistic has a great write up on the topic.

:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos 💜 and 🌶 friends :neuro:

I did something a few days ago that I've been telling myself again and again "I should just do it". Nope, nothing exciting, nothing drastic, it's actually a very simple and even a silly thing...

I've always loved the band Roxette. I made several big playlists on Spotify with their songs and all... But often, I wanted to skip to the songs I love that haven't been hits/singles. I wanted to hear the other songs...

So I kept saying that I should just make a private playlist and add the lesser known songs that I love... It's a simple thing to do! But somehow... I kept thinking that I should do it...

So I've finally done it and... Been listening to it again and again... 🎶 Silly me...

:bear_nuzzle:

Ah well... The simple things in life sometimes are silly hard to "just" do I guess... 😅

🧚🏼‍♀️ 🍀 💜 🐾

If any of you are interested in the playlist, I could set it to public and share the link...
Is a few singles but mostly tracks that didn't make it as a single (except the occasional b-side). 😊

:GLHF: GLHF ALBUM OUT NOW :GLHF:

My second , it soundtracks the Gamer Legion of Hasty Foxes (GLHF), an e-sports team with frame-perfect movesets, near-instant reaction times, and rapidly-declining senses of reality!

Prepare for an ride through the world of :OpDaMyZr: @OpDaMyZr, :Strattzr: @Strattzr, and :PWNZR: @PWNZR!

Animated GIF showing spinning sun rays behind the cover artwork I made for my album GLHF. It shows three anthropomorphic cartoon foxes standing and wearing open dark grey vests fringed with orange, showing white t-shirts underneath with the GLHF hexagonal fox face logo, and black pants. They stand on a giant block with "GLHF" in block font written across it. From left-to-right – Strattzr, OpDaMyZr, and PWNZR (pronounced "pone-zur") respectively – they all wear different-patterned headsets with the numbers 15, 6, and 24 on them respectively. Strattzr thinks deeply while adjusts his headset standing in front of data graphs. OpDaMyZr jumps happily punching the air with his right fist. PWNZR excitedly brandishes two ray guns in front of explosions, fireballs, and warplanes. Behind them all is an orange background showing computer circuitry with rays of light coming from the middle and a row of fire below that. The GLHF hexagonal fox face logo appears again, next to the left and right sides of the album, with "GLHF Album" written below in slanted square blocky orange-and-white font outlined with black. The background is a faded, glitchier version of the cover artwork.

I’ve been challenging myself to make shorter, more themed playlists.

Here’s my first one. I called it Revolution Mix, although I’m sure it’s not half as provocative as it could be.

Withe the gradual enshittification of #Spotify underway, I decided to look at #Tidal.

But there's no #Linux client, so it was a very short look.

What else is out there?

I'm wanting to leave Spotify (there are so many reasons for doing so) and I've read that Tidal is the streaming service distributing the biggest share to artists (probably after Bandcamp, but that's a different kind of service).

Has anybody experienced Tidal and seen drawbacks? Or do they somewhat have weaker values than Spotify's CEO and I didn't catch that information?

Thanks in advance for any comments! #Tidal #Spotify #Streaming

Look, some days the creative spark can't be denied and, for me, it finds a way into the world by any means necessary.

Today, it's via playlist.

Hey, so if you're into , check out https://8tracks.com

$30/yr after 7d trial, or ad supported. Either way I recommend using [ad]blockers.

They're a small company and kind of get strong-armed into weird things by some of the behemoth companies. Overall, it's pretty cool and worth the annual fee.

Just about any competition to is good, if you ask me. Plus, I think it's nice to see something that's just focused on playlists that anyone can see.

I’ve started testing out alternatives to #Spotify as they’re putting their prices up yet again! £20pm for Family plan now. 🙄

I’ve started with #AppleMusic as I had a 2-month free trial, but the Windows app is trash. It keeps telling me playback has stopped on another device. It wasn’t playing on another device in the first place. Also songs just randomly stops playing or starts from the beginning again. 🤦‍♂️

Might try #Tidal and #YouTubeMusic next.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Yet ANOTHER reason not to use Spotify. (How many do you need?)

Demonetization of lesser performing songs so they don't have to pay artists the already miniscule amount they barely do? Check.

And yet, on still only get fractions of a penny for streaming. My band’s numbers aren’t huge, but , for example, pays MUCH more. https://gratefuldread.masto.host/@cannaclub/112214403714966382

Boosts appreciated! ❤️

I know this is not my usual kind of post on here, but I want to tell you about the new album of the band Venice: Stained Glass.

I have been accompanying my mum to their yearly concerts in Holland for 12 years now.

These guys are always so kind!

Always liked their music, but with this new album they really blew me away!!

The song "Sorry" is wonderfully catchy!

And also I love "Odds & Ends" and "Souls Connected".

Give it a listen on !!
