T-minus 18 days to #AllMyFriends Yep Roc Records!

Age of Apathy & All My Friends actually share a special thread of creativity+inspiration, which makes looking back at this discussion Aoife O'Donovan and I had in 2022 that much more intriguing, and makes me appreciate AOA that much more!

#ThrowbackThursday to #OurNativeDaughters showing us all the storytelling power of the #banjo in the hands of some fierce Black musicians.

ALL THE BANJO! 🪕🪕🪕🪕

Just an FYI for the folks coming over from the Beyoncé fan camp, looking up #RhiannonGiddens after hearing #TexasHoldEm :

Her name is pronounced REE-ANN-UHN. It’s *not* pronounced like the name of singer of “We Found Love,” “Umbrella,” “Diamonds.”

#TheMoreYouKnow #Beyonce

this is one of the most upsetting things i’ve ever seen. choosing to listen to an album and then being forced to listen to it out of order…that’s not what artists want either!!

#INTERVIEW ✍️BGS🪕
With all the media layoffs, I feel all the more privileged to share this feature w/ Sarah Jarosz.

Her 7th LP, 'Polaroid Lovers,' reflects snapshots of life but it also shows fluid shifts in perspective around #songwriting : bit.ly/BGSpolaroidlov…

Never forget all the volumes of “WE WILL REVIEW ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES!”

I move for this to be on a limited run of Aoife merch as a quote in a shirt or hoodie. 📚🎉

Fantano’s OPINION IN BIO 🔢🎙️🎶

If you’re closing access to a PUBLIC resource with reading, learning, and media material during a time when people are most available to make use of it, you’re making budget cuts in the wrong place.

Panicking about Bandcamp?

Things to do:
Sign up for Ampwall.com
Follow Bandcamp United
And take your contacts from bandcamp and start a mailing list

*steps to take your contact info from bandcamp in next tweet*

in addition to all the more important considerations (those who lost jobs etc), just a side note reminder:

download your bandcamp music purchases and if you wrote for bandcamp daily: archive your own writing in case it disappears from the site.

PDFs, Wayback Machine, Transcriptions!
(I've learned the hard way what not backing up your published work can mean....)

And of course, BUY MUSIC FROM ARTISTS OF ALL THE SCENES!

Songtradr is a Business-to-business & Music licensing service. Believe that B2B. It will contort Bandcamp to suit it's ends. My money is on a new term-of-service that mandates fixed-rate licensing for artists to use platform, maybe incentivized royalty rates.
EXPECT FUCKERY!

You earned & absolutely deserve, every bit of wonder, excitement, sense of achievement, and (of course) joy, that’s come your way. Thank you for sharing yourself in such beautiful ways w/ Crying in H Mart & Jubilee.

Enjoy your rest & this new journey of connecting w/ Korea! 🇰🇷🌏

Hey music writers and music lovers: the Pop Conference 2024 call is out! We're at USC next year first week of March. I'd love to see a bunch of independent scholars, critics, journos there this coming year.

This app was AMAZING.

people were pretty up in arms when Epic acquired Bandcamp and there was a lot of talk then, too, but Songtradr is about performance rights etc. different moment. now is maybe a good time to download your Bandcamp collection to a hard drive.
