"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?" Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

New survey findings published today from over 1,000 Taylor Swift fans on their vinyl record consumption, listening habits, and environmental sustainability attitudes. Interesting differences between why Gen Z buy vinyl vs. a more traditional middle-aged demographic 🎵🎵🎵👀

I thought I wanted to go somewhere like Twitter used to be, but have realized that what I actually want is to go back to 2015 🫠

I'm trying to figure out Bluesky as a music academic. I'm not sure who made this list (but thank you!), it's super helpful for fellow musicologists looking for their people on here! go.bsky.app/3qnmrZU

Fellow music scholars: I'm refreshing my course reading lists. What popular music / music industry studies books and articles published since 2014 have made the biggest impact on your thinking and the wider field? What's your vote for essential reading?
