i think a lot about how much anyone in favor of ai art/writing/music replaces the profit motive for the real value: human connection, a thing ai fundamentally cannot do

Fun to see Seattle friends (and The License Lab contributors) Abby Gundersen and Taylor Heath on this episode of Tiny Desk. Also bassist Kelsey Mines (who I've met here in town and am looking forward to working with someday) with a bananas bass solo. So good.

I can understand it hits different when it's one of your own... but goddamn, imagine if they all had this much empathy for the human beings they aren't directly related to. For shame.

Maybe don’t throw away all your DVDs just yet.

A heron so graceful and tall, Got sick and couldn't take flight at all. Though grounded, it stayed, With strength unafraid, And watched as the seasons would call. ... Yes, I know. Still hoping for a happy outcome!

And 60 seconds into this video they stopped to roll their own ad "if YOU would like to have your audio professionally mastered..." 🤡 THE MIND BOGGLES.

So called "professional" audio YouTubers... with ground hum in their VO mic. The Music Dreams Industrial Complex™ is alive and well, sorry to say.

Was good to catch up with @mattboudreauaudio.bsky.social and his excellent @workingclassaudio.bsky.social podcast after so many years (how has it been 8?!) If you're interested in what I've been up to in the 5 yrs since I've moved to Seattle, THUD, The License Lab, we dig into a bunch of that here.

my microphone choices in the studio these days are much more about what TYPE of mic (LDC v SDC, ribbon, dyn) than brand or model it's pretty rare for a mic to be completely wrong, almost anything can work, just get to the music if I hear one more soloed kick drum for an hour while picking mics 🥵

If you are a human being daring to make music right now you have my upmost respect & admiration. Keep going. I will too.

I should say, monetizing directly, instead of ads

Daniel Holter @danielholter.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

reminds me a bit of Tumblr, with the possibility of monetizing one's feed

Daniel Holter @danielholter.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

no, I don't know enough to judge your choice, not sure I would/should anyway... just like getting working artist perspectives on the options out there. I have a few friends who are going this route, and I'm watching Patreon, Stan, Medium, Substack, YouTube, etc to see which is most viable and why

Daniel Holter @danielholter.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

curious about your choice of substack for this genuinely, not snark, not bait

Daniel Holter @danielholter.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

I don't, sadly. Came close to snagging a 102 recently, but just couldn't justify it.

I'll never understand why venues think they should get ANY % of an artist's merch
