Paul Oxley
@pauloxley.bsky.social
Musician, songwriter, cares about nature & the environment. Not keen on war or genocide, would prefer if we didn't do that. Not a big fan of economic growth, prefer sustainabilty. Had a long music career in Finland, now in Sidmouth. Google: #pauloxleysunit

The music industry is in crisis

Grassroots venues are closing and government is intervening in UK with a levy on stadium & arena gigs

Most of your favourite musicians have day jobs. Many acts pay their bills from their merch sales rather than their streaming income.

Meanwhile…

Thought this seemed appropriate after this weeks influx. The Bluesky anthem :-). Listen to the lyrics. #Bluesky #ELO

Anyone else think @jujuliagrace.bsky.social is doing a great job? The NHS literally saved my life earlier this year and for anyone else who has had that experience it's reassuring to see people fighting to keep it.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Hundreds of GP practices have closed across the UK in recent years. Millions of patients are waiting longer than 4 weeks to see their GP. Why won’t Wes Streeting support GPs? 🚨🚨🚨

How is this different than theft? We were told that using Napster to download music for free was theft. Spotify is not paying musicians and then profiting off of their music.
Spotify just reported record-breaking profits.

In totally unrelated news, Spotify stopped paying nearly 90% of artists on the service ANYTHING (no royalties for songs w <1k streams/year)

Spotify Hits 252M Premium Subscribers, On Track For First Full Year of Profitability

I wish I could post clever stuff like the people I follow on here but I'm better at making stuff, like this marquetry drinks cabinet.
