Wrote something for the top lads at @whathifi.bsky.social about how 10 years of Spotify's Discover Weekly has changed my musical landscape (and cost me a fortune in gig tickets).

The auto-generated playlist was launched 10 years ago to much fanfare, but is it losing sight of what made it great?

It is very important that you both read this thread and then click through to this link and listen to the 'musical' - there is a LOT to love here, not least the fact that in one song (c.19m) the AI sings his name as 'Iron Rush'.

Ian Rush has put his name to a 90-minute, score-settling, AI musical in the style of Hamilton about his legal battle against a Surrey scaffolding company and a small Wigan law firm, in so doing attacking, among others, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher.

This is tremendous
Thanks to the lovely people @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social I have just been reminded of how glorious it is to play Skeal in December. 5 minutes, very silly, very fun, turn the volume up: whymog.itch.io/skeal-webgl-...
skeal (webGL version) by whymog
It's Skeal, but it runs in your browser.

The rise of streaming, decimation of music media, and ripple effects of the pandemic have led to an indie landscape that's particularly inhospitable to emerging artists looking to establish careers off their work
How the Indie Rock Boom Went Bust
Not so long ago, indie music was riding high, minting new stars and lasting careers with ease. But for a new generation of artists, financial stability is all but impossible.
