Chicago Reader: Is the Internet panopticon going to ruin live music too? . “Our experience of culture is shaped by social media, streaming services, and other Web-based platforms that mine our data (and may eventually send us $35 checks after settling a class-action lawsuit). But how do those platforms influence how we experience live music? Spotify famously collects vast troves of data, only […]

I KNEW IT. I've been telling my sister I think people don't just not download their music. They just stream and since they're streaming they don't create their OWN playlists. They just dial in on someone else's. It's the only thing that explains a lot of the stuff we see.

Baby Shark reaches Spotify Billions Club and toddlers are still obsessed

Is it just me, or has Tidal's web player stopped responding to media keys (previous, next, pause)?

Related: Is there a streaming service that has a downloadable app for Linux (and isn't Spotify)?

Alternatively, is there some process that might be intercepting those keys? I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Gig! Gig! Gig!
Saturday, Dec 20th, 6-9pm
With my wonderful friends at Chapter Two Brewing Company

This is it, my last real gig for 2025! And I get to do it at one of my forever favorite places

There will be some Ginger Folky standards, your Beer Runs, your Irish Rovers, your Last Shanties.... But there will also be some of the Xmas/Festive/Seasonal songs I've been lashin out for the last bunch of weeks all over Windsor/Essex County.

Then, Xmas Eve Eve, Tuesday Dec 23rd, at I think 7pm Eastern, I'll do that live stream to YouTube. About an hour of the Festive Folky Show. You can Sub here and click the bell to get notified https://www.youtube.com/c/ClintonAndersonAllen

Then I'll be done till 2026

Maybe I'll even change some strings

Cheers!!!

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Really liked this very honest overview of streaming income from Los Campesinos.

(fwiw, have been using Tidal for a year now I think, and really no regrets.)
