  1. FXCK SPOTIFY: oux, halehaven, trees will return, when the wall breaks down

    Not Not, Saturday, April 25 at 07:00 PM CDT

    Announcing your lineup for our next

    F#CK SPOTIFY show at Not Not! April 25th!

    We're absolutely stoked to have a legendary lineup who are committed to deplatforming the exploiting and war-profiteering biz that is Spotify. You don't need to sell your soul to the algorithm to make it as an artist and we invite you all to come celebrate the ways punks (and humanity) have been doing it since Stonehenge and cave paintings!

    We will have some amazing artists slinging some art highlighting different platforms that you can stream your music more ethically (shout-out qobuz and bandcamp ) and last but certainly not least, sharing information about UMAW and their continued fight for musicians against the industry.

    F#CK Spotify, fuck ICE, and fuck the IDF.

    Free all oppressed people and workers!!!

  3. Spotify are a pack of hypocrites. They started 'their' catalogue by downloading music from The Pirate Bay. What fucking gall to treat musicians and songwriters as slaves and then attack Anna's Archive.

  8. "Talking via video from his apartment in Astoria, Queens, DeFrancesco sounds both resilient and realistic, defiant and weary. The battle against the powers that be is constant, arduous, and often thankless. But if we stop, they win. Everyone else loses. Why would we let that happen without a fight?"

  13. It appears that DistroKid is engaging in union-busting. From UMAW:

    "On Monday, Oct. 21st, DistroKid placed 37 employees, roughly 25% of its staff, on administrative leave, pending layoffs. This includes the entire full-time customer support staff and most of their quality assurance engineers. The employees who were placed on leave were all members of the DistroKid union, which had won its election in April with strong numbers."

  39. See the following post by @donutshoes for just how grave this robbery is.

    I find it unethical and despicable. Long-term, it doesn’t even make economically sense for Spotify.

    If anything, the revenue model should do the opposite and give diminishing returns for each stream, so there’s an incentive to produce more music for the platform.

  44. Music workers create all of the enormous wealth Spotify accumulates for its CEO, its investors, and the major labels. But we artists continue to be underpaid, misled, and otherwise exploited by the company.

    As Spotify’s valuation soars, we have seen no increase in our streaming payments. The company’s closed-door contracts and payola schemes ensure that only musicians already on top with extensive resources can succeed on the platform.

    As COVID 19 economically devastates music workers everywhere, it’s even clearer that Spotify’s existing model is counter to the needs of the vast majority of artists.
