As if anyone needed MORE reasons to delete Spotify... 😬
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

A recap of our 2025 episodes. One big highlight was chatting with Jim Reid and William Reid of @themarychain.bsky.social about their iconic debut album. PSYCHOCANDY was so ahead of its time and it was a thrill to hear all that went into making it. (1/12)

Attend this because I can't... Hear Dave interviewed by someone brilliant - no trite questions, I assume, based on the genius interviewer 😉

I think the KS link says it best: "no previous experience with Wordburgling necessary..." Just hit the link and score a copy of this bad boy.
It's possible there's even a one-pager from an artist you follow (it's me! I'm the artist you follow... Or it's others, because you should follow 'em all)!

Realized I didn't report this... One of the more intense covers to draw... A deep dive on an album I was less familiar with. Speaks volumes of the podcast that it's always worth tuning in, even for albums you may not know well... The insights are often universal.
For the 15th anniversary of THE MONITOR by @titus-andronicus.bsky.social, we spoke to Patrick Stickles about how it was made. Leaving New Jersey, discovering pot and Ken Burns's Civil War documentary and taking a big swing at the rock album of the century.

Another album cover, another in a line of weird artistic challenges (hand lettering)... Always fabulous shows!
For the 15th anniversary of Manchester Orchestra's MEAN EVERYTHING TO NOTHING, we spoke with Andy Hull about how it was made. Getting signed at a young age, wrestling with a new marriage and questions of faith and developing their open wound sound.

Finished "What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing" - a much needed reminder of the hope that can remain inside politics. Thank you Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack for the much needed reminder.
(And I loved the Bartlet pin on the cover, so drew that in the afterglow of the book).

As I slowly climb out from behind deadlines, and start posting new art again, a few classics from my prior IG account... The 6 Fan Arts has been a great way to draw a bunch of stuff I don't normally draw...

Happy Birthday Scott Hutchison.
I wish I'd been able to tell him how much sorrow his music would help me through. Sorely missed. #scotthutchison (the beard design is based on his own Owl John album art).

I got to design a poster for the Stompbox screening of Beat Street at The Revue in Toronto. Featuring a live set from @wordburglar.bsky.social and More Or Les.
It's going to be brilliant. Celebrate the holidays properly with a Christmas classic!
