The documentaries I can’t watch are the ones about musicians, artists, all that. In 95% of cases, I find them disastrous, dishonest, completely tailored for storytelling. And the worst part is people swallow it all. It’s really shocking how little reality there is in people’s perception of music.

We're working on something new! You can now create a label page that works like an artist page, with blog posts, release tabs and more, plus related artists all in one place. Let us know if you'd like to try out label functionality - we'll be adding to it in the coming months! 🛠️🐦‍⬛

I've been working on this with a group of leftist friends from all over the world. A more radical experiment and a militant take on what a truly independent grassroot music platform could be.

It's a long shot, it's an uphill battle, but we have to try.
The music industry does not work for artists or listeners and needs a radical reimagining.

Mirlo hosts a community of artists, listeners, organizers, and coders who are daring to do just that. 📣🐦‍⬛

From Issue V: Kate Wagner (@mcmansionhell.bsky.social) on the art and life of Yugoslavian painter France Michelič, known for his depictions of folk deity Kurent. Stamped by the 20th century's trials, he became a searching interpreter of nature, ritual, and death.
