Not wrong so far although Toulouse may still get stiffed by the Pie'n' Peas crew.
So fire sale it is at the SRD. Feels like a Richard Marshall season coming up followed by being dumped in the championship for Toulouse.

Salford’s decision to publish the breakdown of its IMG score was refreshingly transparent and allows us to look into where the club could score more or fewer points. There’s an attempt to do that here:

This is why I try to still buy CDs.
I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

Your regular reminder Delft’s market square was a surface parking lot as recently as 2004.

A razor-thin coalition (19-18 votes) initiated a six-month pilot to help merchants realize cars don’t spend money, people do.

Years later, no one remembers the controversy or regrets the decision. *Sound on*

spotify is not a music platform, it’s a tech platform designed to extract wealth from musicians and place it into the pockets of executives. hope this helps.

I used to look forward to my 0.0028p per stream and would look hopefully at the stats as I was nearing the threshold to earn some money 😆🤦‍♂️ cut to Bandcamp where one! person downloaded a few tracks and I made more than I ever have from Spotify 🤷‍♂️ Ek is a dick
Go make a bands weekend and buy a couple things from their Bandcamp pages. @aplaceforowls.bsky.social, Great Grandpa, Slow Crush all have great new-ish things out.
