I get really annoyed by The Bidding Room. Havers great presenter, but you could take the Mona Lisa into that room and they’d try and offer a fiver for it and say it’s not their area of expertise

Algorithm, please stop encouraging me to develop insecurities. A rant written in one sitting today by me. Tried to do my best fed up face for the thumbnail, as though an industry person had just been rude on an email. emzae.substack.com/p/algorithm-...

Just thinking about how we started off asking questions in a natural human way to jeeves, then with google we altered the way we searched, focusing on keywords etc, and now with ai it’s basically back to ask Jeeves but with longer questions

She’s wearing a long, blue, silk dress with large flowers, black-rimmed glasses, a large gold necklace with many chains, gold earrings, silver face piercings, gold & silver rings & a gold watch. She’s smiling, holding up a large wine glass which is half-filled.

Really great article about the realities of Glastonbury (excellent festival though it is) for smaller/emerging acts. How many working class and disabled artists are we not seeing at the festival? Urgent change is required. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Some bands can take the hit of losing money to perform, but everyone else, from bookers to production staff to acts being asked to work bar shifts, is being short-changed, writes Oliver Keens, and it ...

One of the most cruel and greedy aspects of modern social media platforms is the deliberately reduced reach you get when you dare to promote an event or paste in a link. Who do they think they are? Why do they think we want to stay on here if they keep doing this stuff?

Too much disabled music is STILL going unheard.
