'now I have to pay to download my own songs...'
a friend has discovered that somebody somewhere has made an album of a live radio session their band did back in 2008 and placed it on the free music archive (FMA).
'to increase the value of music sharing, FMA visitors can compensate artists directly, when possible, with the different monetization models each FMA artists are able to enable on their artist page...'
so who is getting compensated for the plays? a defunct record company.
it is (however) still getting played and listened to by someone somewhere, that at least is a good thing (horsemouth supposes).
elsewhere 'everything is stacked against grass roots bands at this time' remarks a scenester and a ska singer out on tour soon reposts it. elsewhere a discussion of what 'interpolation' might mean (it means the creator of the tune gets paid but doesn't get a song-writing credit when their tune is used in another musicians song).
attali's view was the the economy of music was ahead of the rest of the economy (so er. that's bad news for the rest of us coming sometime maybe). once horsemouth had more to say about this sort of thing but then the world caught up and it just seemed churlish to mention it.
horsemouth failed to stay up late to try and listen to ravi coltrane and brandee younger live from the detroit jazz festival (result! he's found it on youtube! he'll maybe try some other stuff later on today).
severe weather conditions caused the gig to be a livestreamed only performance.
horsemouth has been up and released and fed the chickens and watered the tomatoes. it's a greyish morning (hopefully it will improve). it looks ok today on bbc weather (and then rubbish for the next two and a half days). it looks not too bad out til friday 13th.
yesterday horsemouth walked over to the village and he also walked down to the post-box and back with his mum.
