conde nast gave this guy pitchfork, and by my count, 19 staff from my time got cut or left. two years later, he's leaving to work with pharrell. remembering that pitchfork was sold to conde nast with the understanding that conde would be good stewards of the publication. just reminiscing, is all.

been thinking about @bumpy.bandcamp.com's point here. 1. what's left of a completely tattered corporate mainstream music media industry is putting down the RTO ultimatum and don't have any real reporting on the big Midwestern cities' scenes, including MPLS, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, KC, etc

I feel like the Minneapolis/St. Paul music scene is one of the most supportive music scenes around, and at the same time it’s one of the most difficult to get recognition within by people doing tons of work and receiving recognition elsewhere.
What do you think? Am I too inside my own lens? Are the gatekeepers just super picky or too locked into how things were in the 80s/90s? Is there not enough actual industry infrastructure?

been chatting with @jael.bsky.social on the side about how fucking grim engagement has been on x, which is why I dipped (in addition to it becoming an algorithmic hard veer into fascism). in my last months I’d post stuff there to crickets. here and IG always killed by comparison + it wasn’t close.

@ekkoastral on X

hey. so we're going to no longer be active here.
the biggest reason: musical artists no longer have real reach on this platform.
even big artists on major labels are no longer getting engagement. even fantano's barely getting anything here.
it's a music dead zone to us.
