come thru and listen to some tunes on @subvert.fm. hard ban on AI “music” and AI “artwork”. a cooperative community that cares.
404 Media@404media.co · last wk.Spotify doesn’t label AI music on its platform, so websites like SoullessMusic.com and SlopTracker.org do it instead.
“There is no ethical use of generative AI. The labour of working creatives has already been steadily devalued over the years, and now it has arrived at a place where it only holds financial merit when fed to the machine.” www.anxietyshark.ca/an-empty-bit...
An empty bit of good.
Let the machine work and drain and sputter and purge, may we dance and clap at what meagre pleasures it can conjure.

Hey, I started a site/newsletter to continue the work of my recently-cancelled column. I features a monthly (free) rundown of good experimental releases, plus a bonus (paid-sub) post on a single release from the month. Check out goodexperimentalmusic.com and thanks to everyone who encouraged this!
Been thinking a lot recently about first steps toward good jukebox software (like Plex or Swinsian - software that uses files you own), and one of the very first steps to me seems to be standardization of music metadata. Basically, ID3 tag frames, and keeping those in sync with a database. (1/7)
I did one of these remixes, which you can listen to right now. Had a blast making it, hope you like it!

Brad Rose@foxydigitalis.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's windy as hell and the vibes are weird, so how about a new installment of The Jewel Garden's excellent Field Studies series?

I have questions. Firstly, what cut is Spotify keeping when someone buys a book through bookshop.org via its platform? The announcement says this "will directly support bookshops & the authors" but noticeably not that they will pass on 100% from purchases newsroom.spotify.com/2026-02-05/b...

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.
