Is this the best thing to post when you own Tidal, the music streaming service that is supposed to be the musicians friend in the digital age.....

A bonus recommendation this week. The other exteme from Kali Malone is the maximalist wonder of Never Not Nothing. Here is their track Maximum: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6PQ...

AV industry thought of the week. While the industry is diving down the commoditized, long margin rabbithole of UCC, lift your heads up and think about the experiential side of the industry.......

Music recommendation for this Easter weekend. The hauntingly beautiful, meditative 'All Life Long' by Kali Malone.

As seen in Portland Art Mueseum this weekend

Music industry thought-provoking stat: The pro AV industry is nearly 5 times the size of the music industry.....

Music recommendation of the week, the wonderful 'Paranoia, Angels, True Love' by Christine and the Queens. It will suck you in, wring you out and spit you out the other side (in a really good way)!

Sorry for the gap. Here's a photo that I took this weekend of a girl reading in Fitzroy, Australia

Tokyo, 10 years ago......

My thought-provoking industry comment of the week: PFC - Perfect Fit Content. The thought that someone thinks that music is 'content' should tell you most of what you need to know. Look it up, I hope that it shocks you - it should.... Spotify are the main offenders.

My music recommendation this week is the wonderful Irish drone folk band Lankum. A good starting point is their 'Live in Dublin' album but for the full experience, try 'Go Dig My Grave' from their 'False Lankum' album.

Here's a lovely photo (not taken by me) of the angel of the north, a huge Antony Gormley sculpture in Gateshead using illuminated drones to create a halo

My morning walk

Music tip: Thea Gilmore, self titled album. Listen especially to 'The Next Time You Win' and 'The Bright Service'. Tell me what you think

The bifrucation debate - lean back vs lean forward listening. This is important as we think about streaming and what might come after .... musictectonics.libsyn.com/the-great-bi...
