Must-read here, especially for #indie #musicians. #LizPelly discusses her book "Mood Machine: The Rise of #Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist" and covers a wide range of topics about modern music-making, distribution + consumption. She also mentions "cooperative and open-source alternatives to #Bandcamp", several are here on the #Fediverse. Moving her book to the top of my reading list. 🎵 🎶 📖 👍 😁 #Music #TapeOp #Streaming #Media #Culture #Books #Literature https://tapeop.com/interviews/171/liz-pelly

Un résumé de "Mood Machine", le livre de Liz Pelly qui vous fera résilier votre abonnement Spotify en moins de deux :

"Le tour de force de ce livre est qu'en abordant toutes les facettes du business Spotify, il démontre que la plateforme est bien plus qu’un service de streaming : Spotify est un système, un paradigme qui restructure la création musicale mondiale à son image."

So, I bought another actual book yesterday! Got it from https://frenchtownbookshop.com, in the wonderful little town of Frenchtown. (I used to work in the Bluefish factory there, block-printing clothing.)
It's what I chose to spend my Spotify subscription money on for the Spring season.

"Perhaps Spotify understood the stakes—that when it removed real classical, jazz, and ambient artists from popular playlists and replaced them with low-budget stock muzak, it was steamrolling real music cultures, actual traditions within which artists were trying to make a living. [...] PFC was irrefutable proof that Spotify rigged its system against musicians who knew their worth."
