Just axed my Disney+ account.
If Disney thinks killing Jimmy Kimmel’s show is a smart move, they can choke on the money they’re bleeding from subscribers like me.

Norwegian prog masters Leprous covering A-ha’s timeless “Take On Me”?
Yes. It exists, and It’s glorious.
It touched some strings of my memories, evoking the good old days of my teenage years.

Fil from Wings of Pegasus proved it: Taylor Swift mimed rather than singing on her tour.
More than concerts those were ballets.
Dave Grohl was right and he's now grinning somewhere.

I would like to share the first track of my album "Sonic Self Stimulations", titled "Grumpy granpa drives the car".

Spotify isn’t just bad for artists. It’s bad for the world.

It underpays creators, manipulates payouts, and now its CEO is funding AI-powered military tech.

Still feel good about that monthly fee?

It’s not about vinyl vs CD.
It’s not about analog vs digital.
Whatever you choose, it’s about listening consciously.
About paying artists what they deserve.
About investing in something you love, something you can hold, see, hear… forever.
Own your music. Don't just rent your memories.

Spotify is investing your subscription money in the military-industrial complex, funding instruments of war.
I'm struggling to see what this has to do with #music.
Maybe it's time to reconsider your subscription.

Streaming serves the industry giants. It strips ownership from listeners and fair compensation from artists.
Buy physical music. Support real art. Resist the algorithm.

Masìrikos @masirikos.bsky.social · Jul 27

I'm tired of hearing “vinyl is dying” or “CDs are dead”.
These are just narratives pushed to steer us toward streaming, #music we don’t own, tied to monthly fees, locked behind algorithms designed to favor platforms, not people.

RIP Ozzy

Masìrikos @masirikos.bsky.social · Jun 27

– Because artists should be recognised and rewarded, not drowned in a stream and robbed.
- Because listening to an album should be a conscious choice, not a calculated shuffle from an algorithm

Masìrikos @masirikos.bsky.social · Jun 27

Why I still love collecting and listening to music on vinyl and CDs:
– Because I want to own the music medium as a piece of art, not lease it with a monthly fee.
– Because purchasing and listening to an album deserves to be a desired event, not background noise.

The U.S. anti-DEI crackdown is trying to spread like a virus, infecting French companies with its regressive policies. What starts as a local outbreak now threatens European values, forcing compliance through economic pressure.
