All right, I joined subvert.fm @subvert.fm.
I'm also a part of the Catalytic Soundstream. stream.catalyticsound.com
Still on Apple Music. Not sure I have it in me to leap to Qobuz, but right now, I'm going to support any platform that tries to do things differently.

It's really good. Can't wait to be able to upload my music on there.
I had to get this @giantclaw.bsky.social album I did not have digitally.

Received my zine today from @subvert.fm , and what a lovingly put together package it is.
If the execution of the platform itself is even close to the coherence and care with which they put this together, there are some excellent times ahead!
Not long now until we get access!

Last month we traveled to Spain's Basque region to visit Mondragon, the world's largest worker cooperative.
92 co-ops. 70,000 workers. €11 billion in revenue. Spain's 7th-largest company.
All collectively owned.
Here are 5 lessons for building a "Mondragon of Music"
