Totally agree with the tone of this article - AI is just copyright theft so can't be compared to working artists.

Emerging acts playing first-on and support slots get their early live crowd experience, develop stage craft and connection. They often help create the local buzz that enables promoters to sell national tours. They’re part of the pipeline from grassroots venues to arenas.

Happy birthday to Steve Cropper. Here's a fantastically cool clip of Booker T. & the M.G.'s performing Time Is Tight at Stax Studios. It's taken from a French mini-documentary from 1969, which also features Isaac Hayes, the Memphis Horns etc. Watch it at 📺▶️ youtu.be/ste1KIwjbLE

I hope @academymusicgroup.bsky.social are pleased with their abysmal app that you have no choice but to use when going to one of their venues. Next time I'm buying tickets I'm not going to the Apollo.

Top marks to Sheffield, where grassroots venues are standing together. This right here is what community looks like.
The new Sheffield Independent Venues Alliance (SIVA) is a brilliant move - putting collaboration at the heart of the city’s music scene.

Nice trip down memory lane and interesting to see that London bands didn't have it all their own way. At the time we thought the press looked down their noses at us because we were northern, but maybe they did that to everyone.

Inside the other Britpop
30 years since Blur beat Oasis in the Battle of Britpop, two authors explore being both inside and outside the mid-90s music explosion

Late 90s PC speakers? I probably would have been playing NoMeansNo or Shellac. Or more likely, the Beachbuggy classic Unsafe at Any Speed.

Oasis were pretty much the opposite of punk rock.
“Definitely Maybe was the last great punk album…”
On this day in 1994, Oasis released their debut album, Definitely Maybe. Noel Gallagher speaks to MOJO about the band’s era-defining debut and their supersonic rise.

Bandcamp has just emailed me to say that due to the tariff chaos there's now an option to suspend shipping to the USA. So if you're in America and want to buy a hat, I'd leave it for a bit ...
