Thank you
, , , , , and many others for tuning into our live video with !Ghosting Spotify: A How-To Guide
Spotify, much like social media, has become one of those corporate structures so deeply embedded in our daily lives that it’s hard to imagine a world without it. It’s the soundtrack to your morning commute, the background noise to your workday, and the curated vibe for your weekend hangouts.
A few other mentions from the conversation worth checking out:
Cassidy of
introduced me and Seth, we met at the Not So Open Mic hosted by . Here is the photo evidence of that meeting.

Heartfelt thanks to
for cross-posting the original article. I can't recommend enough the final chapter of Ted's Substack-published book "Music to Raise the Dead: The Secret Origins of Musicology" titled What Can Music Do Today. This chapter is a genuinely trippy journey that reconnects us with music's primal power and sacred roots (spoiler: it has precious little to do with commerce and everything to do with the very nature of how reality is created). I'm also buzzing with anticipation for Ted's upcoming proposal for an alternative to our current streaming systems—can't wait to see what the Honest Broker has dreamed up for us. His perspective on rebuilding music's value feels more necessary than ever.
Laura Kidd aka Penfriend hit #28 on the UK midweek charts this week WITHOUT Spotify, hosting all her album sales on her own website. Check her out on Substack here:
And also check out this new digital album concept Kitbetter, it’s a digital album crossed with a physical keepsake product that has been selling in Asia, and is now available for musicians to try in the UK and US. Here is a video of Penfriend explaining how this new format works, it’s pretty kewl.
I’ll be seeing you through the portal 🌀
