⇒ Deezer: 28% of all music delivered to streaming is now fully AI-generated ⇐

They say there's over 100,00 new songs submitted every day. EVERY DAY!!! That's alot of AI slop dumped into streaming. Ugh, terrible junk.

So many people ask if we take crypto, and now that we do, (and told them we do), they never donate any. Sometimes feels like they say "I only use crypto" as an excuse to not spend money. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A technical issue caused streams to be inaccessible for a little over an hour between 3am-4am Pacific time. The main issue is resolved but there may be some temporary/occasional issues in the meantime as we fix the root cause. Thanks for your patience.

Wow, the big corporations are all now bragging about all the data they’re tracking on you, as if they're doing you some kind of favor:

In an age of AI and Algorithms, it's been nice to just go back to listening to a radio station of human curated music. @somafm.com has been doing an amazing job with putting together some quality stations. My favorites have been Metal Detector, Groove Salad, DEF CON Radio, and ThistleRadio.

🎧 Lunar Ipona - Fragments

I see I liked their album back in 2024. I like this new one too they just sent to our review queue.

Some happier stuff. Some melancholy. Overall really nice album.
