oh such a shame, they are trying to strong-arm the boycotters.

Armen Nalbandian @armennalbandian.com · 3d

is Spotify (and its distribution partners) retaliating against artists who boycott?

this video is about what happened after I removed my music from Spotify.

please reach out if you’ve experienced something similar

Think we underestimate how much of social media is like going to the kitchen to fetch something, forgetting why you came and then shrugging and eating all the crackers

I think albums shouldn't stop getting played because it's three months past their release date-- something that is getting very real these past couple of years.

I spent more than a year on this, while its subject being something I've been working towards in my albums since 2020.

give it a listen❤️

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

James Austin @jamesdaustin.bsky.social · 4d

Everyone knows at least one person (normally, but not exclusively, a guy) whose gone properly mental due to net rabbit holes.

We see public figures regularly go mad and destroy themselves.

And we have, at a policy level, just decided to put our fingers in our ears and go nahnahnah

Alastair Meeks @alastairmeeks.bsky.social · 4d

Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.

I first heard about the 70's Uyghur theater troupe Yashlik via the Synthesizing the Silk Road comp. I might be partial because I can understand a bit of the lyrics but I deem it essential for all the 70's world/jazz/folk/Finders Keepers peeps.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
