Help Us Keep Music At The Heart Of The BBC The Government has begun the BBC’s Charter Review – a two-year process where the Government considers the public purpose and future direction of the BBC, as well as its funding models…

There's still time to make your voice heard on the future of the BBC!

Music is one of the jewels in the BBC’s crown. But the Corporation is facing changes that could put the music we love at risk. Have your say to support music at the BBC and the wider music industry. tinyurl.com/ympwkhz5

The Death of Spotify: Why Streaming is Minutes Away From Being Obsolete Jimmy Iovine just called the Death of Spotify. He might be right.

joelgouveia.substack.com/p/the-death-...

fascinating read, a bit on the overly opitimistic side but interesting to see guard music executives acknowledge a vibe shift. times are so bad they got us glazing over ghouls in suits like Iovine, he of all ppl knows the importance of cultural capital.

I need someone who knows more about vinyl than me to explain why the pressings from big acts are almost always lower quality than those from smaller indie acts

Am I having bad luck? Manufacturing differences?

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!

Native Instruments GmbH is in preliminary insolvency - CDM Create Digital Music According to insolvency documents, Berlin-based Native Instruments GmbH (also parent to iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx) is in preliminary insolvency proceedings. This is devastating news for ...

Unfortunately, this is confirmed news.

Not remotely what you want to see. Wishing everyone at NI the best in a tough time, and hoping that in the restructuring process, the tools find a good home. Details:

Same. I wouldn’t call them messages, more like a digital sledgehammer bringing platform usage to a complete halt.

Was tempted to pay and try the opt out for a short time to see the results. But you have to pay for all your accounts, and I’m not confident from their info I’d be able to turn it off easily!
