    The prompt is #Omen

    Hana – Omen, 2000

    Hana is one of those groups that appeared more in on-trend compilations than on releases of their own. Omen was this duo's second and to my knowledge final release; members Anisa Romero and Jeff Greinke have gone on to other musical and non-musical artistic pursuits.

    Sitting at the junction of #downtempo and #DreamPop, they're pretty much a no-brainer to be in my collection. This kind of #ethereal music with just a dash of a quasi- #tribal #electronica has the danger of falling into cliche - sort of a poor man’s #DeadCanDance - but among hundreds of similar offerings on #CDbaby at the time, this release stood out.

  6. #SnoopDogg pushing #TunesFM as a replacement for #Spotify proves one thing: the #rugpull is coming to the world of music lol.

    But in all honesty, the idea of paying for time played off a song is not new at all, and even though Spotify has undervalued most songs, the deal between big publishers and Spotify is a different story than you publishing from #CDBaby or some shit.

    The big sell from Spotify right now, and the thing that makes it addictive, is the #discovery feature.

  10. I have 4 tracks on #CDBaby.
    Thousands of streams without a single buy, but what's the revenues?

    6.42$... yes, that's it: I haven't planned to become rich with my music but at least not being fooled...

    Under "Social Video Monetizing" for the 2024 I have 6620 streams for 0.42$ = 0,0000634 x single stream.

    Checking the stats further I see that almost the streams are from #facebook few from #YouTube (which pays ZERO).

  15. So first #TuneCore, now #YouTube. They are trying to scrap from our art, creativity and potential income making datasets for sale, without even giving us a single penny. Please be intelligent, do not allow a single step over your rights with this predatory and misleading companies. #DistroKid , #CDBaby probably will try to do the same over the next years.

  20. Apparently #CDbaby (and all of Downtown Music Holdings) has been sold to Universal Music Group for $775 Million. That doesn't seem like good news for #indie musicians.

  25. @mirlo we use #CDBaby because they charge a one time fee per release, where as #Distrokid used a subscription model (which is popular for doing a 'waterfall release').

    We've released an EP and an album this way.
    Two weeks ago we finally received our first streaming check, which almost covers the cost of distributing the firt EP. 7 years after the release date.. 😂

    Financially this is not sustainable, for us.

  40. Benefits of #Distrokid over #CDBaby for digital music release? I see a lot of people talk about Distrokid but I’ve used CD Baby with no issues for all my releases so I’m curious if anyone has experience with both.
