       I suspect at this point most of you know me as "that spaceship/guy who writes about Other People's Music" but did you know I am ALSO a musician (hence the name "other people's music" 😅)? Well, I am. And I'd love it if you checked out MY music.https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/the-mechanics-of-mysticism@electronicmusic @psychedelicmusic @experimentalmusic #MusicDiscovery #Music #Musodon #MyMusic

       I'd be especially appreciative if musicians I have previously covered would give it a listen. Hey, what's good for the goose, right? (Leaving me a review/sharing thoughts is optional, but definitely appreciated).For that matter, if you're a regular reader, please check it out too! It will likely offer some insight into where I am coming from musically, after all! At the very least, consider it a bonus entry 😅

       Fucking HILARIOUS to me when someone says "Well, I haven't paid attention to ANYTHING that wasn't force fed to me via corporate radio for more than a decade, but I am 100% sure no good music has come out in that time"(Cross-platform subtoot)

       Never been a radio guy but I can say with some authority we are in the middle of a gods damned golden age of independent music. If you aren't finding new music you love, you aren't really trying.

       Ah, I see your problem. You think the point of creating art is external validation of your creation. Haha, no.The point of art is you created some art. Expressed something in a way unique to you. If you did that, your art is a success, even if no one likes it.Even if you don't.Don't worry, it won't be that long before you make something *you* appreciate, and maybe not even as long as that before you make something someone else appreciates.

       I find it kind of funny and more than kind of sad how many self identified "non creatives/non artists" simply refuse to hear this no matter how many artists/creatives tell them the same thing over and over again.Friends, we've been at this a long time. We DO know the struggle. Very, very well.Look, if you convince yourself that you can't do art, you are probably right. But the only thing that is stopping you is your own conviction that there's no point in trying.

       It's great that you exited Spotify. That's a genuine win and a good thing all around. But that quest for the "good" streaming service it put you on? That's a fool's errand. There are NO good streamers; streaming is simply not an equitable or sustainable model for music under capitalism. Sorry.They're ALL venture capital backed corporations. That means they're all on the same path: extracting maximum value from music at minimal cost and maximum profit to themselves.

       Spotify is currently winning by being the worst. When they're gone, the next company in line will become the worst.You might as well look for a good billionaire (and to be fair, I suspect some of you are STILL ON that particular quixotic quest). No such thing exists. No good billionaires. No good streaming corporations. For the same reasons: the things that you must do to become one preclude "goodness."

       "What's the alternative?" I hear you ask? Well, would you believe that in the distant past of ten whole years ago, most people OWNED the music they listened to in some sort of physical format, or at least via purchased digital files. It's true! And it'll work again! You can do it right now!

       Another alternative is a revolution to overthrow capitalism, and thus ensure all humans share in the bounty of the Earth's wealth and have the time and means to both appreciate and create new aesthetic experiences across all media.

       Periodic reminder that it is never too late to de-AI your work! A lot of us messed around with the toxic sludge before we realized how toxic it truly was, and there's more than a few album covers, PFPs, logos, etc that bear the foul stamp of GenAI floating around. Re-do that shit. It's worth it.
