Lovely to see the Pev and Steevio release on Schmorgasbord back in stock on Rwd Fwd after a chance run in at the pub with Ossia and a box of records, doing bits the Brizzle way. An overlooked release, but definitely stood the test of time. Just listen to this monster: soundcloud.com/schmorgasbor...

Maybe sacrificing an abundance of choice to spend a bit more time and money directly on music they love would actually keep things sustainable and ringfence Spotify as the cultural abyss it deserves to be.

More of an issue is people who actively seek out music feeling like a Spotify subscription is their way of supporting the music they love.

International Orange @interorange.bsky.social · 20/12/2024
It preys on passive music listeners who in the past would have just stuck on the radio. For them, it really doesn't matter who made the music and whether they got paid, in the past they probably never spent money on music anyway.

Streaming services like Spotify are the enemy of music culture. "Perhaps Spotify understood... when it removed real classical, jazz, and ambient artists from popular playlists and replaced them with low-budget stock muzak, it was steamrolling real music cultures..."

For years, the public has called them "fake artists." But internally at Spotify, the program has a name: Perfect Fit Content. My investigation, and the first look into my book Mood Machine, is the January cover at @harpers.bsky.social. Online now & on newsstands next week harpers.org/archive/2025...
Cover of the january 2025 issue of Harper's magazine. A black background with the words GHOST MUSIC written largely in green, tangled with wired headphones. underneath in small text it says "INSIDE SPOTIFY'S FAKE-ARTIST SCHEME"
