This isn’t about jumping on a bandwagon or trying to get rich quick. It’s about doing things where you use blockchain and the crypto benefits in ways that people haven’t thought of yet. And in this case, very much led by Björk and her team’s creative vision for what this technology can do.
Here are 3 very very rich people. One is happy to participate in juicing the public for more based on a story he walked into. The other two aren’t so sure.
All three surviving members of Led Zeppelin were supposed to promote the upcoming feature-length documentary film “Becoming Led Zeppelin” at the Venice film festival in 2021, LedZepNews…
Spotify playlists have rapidly risen to become the Holy Grail of music coverage, and as the streaming platform becomes increasingly social, knowing how boost your particular Spotify playlist is becoming. Continue reading
The study reads: “These findings discredit the stereotype of truck drivers loving country. After all, trucks are great vehicles for just about anyone! But what do most truck drivers have in common? And do any of their experiences align with their favourite type of music?”Despite country music having the most truck-related songs of any genre, it sat toward the bottom of truck owners’ genre preferences — just 27.7 per cent said it was their favorite. Instead, an overwhelming percentage of truck owners (47.1 percent) said they prefer classic rock. Other favourites were alternative (41.6 percent), blues (41.2 percent), and hip-hop (40.7 percent).”
It’s a cult. The Cult. The 2022 album. Must have a listen.
“If you’re a fan of rock music, our new record’s essential,” the singer stated boldly, modesty be damned. “I don’t think there’s any recent releases of rock music that comes close to Under The Midnight Sun. And to say that, it may sound like an arrogant statement, but I’m tired of this bullshit. Stop it. Stop phoning it in. Stop exploiting your fans. Stop patronising your fans. And stop calling them fans. They’re your benefactors. Our audience are our benefactors.”

Something not quite right at Nick Cave’s house. Two dead sons.
Two years after the death of his son, Cave reflected on his death, telling The Guardian: ‘It’s hard to know what to say that is helpful. People often say they can’t imagine how it would feel to lose a child, but, actually, they can – they can imagine what it is like.
‘A lot is said about grief, especially the conventional wisdom that you do it alone. I personally have found that not to be the case. The goodwill we received after Arthur’s death from people who I did not know, especially through social media, people who liked my music and kind of reached out, was extraordinary.’
Johnson agrees, adding she’s seen social media play a huge role too.”As times change, I think things like TikTok and YouTube and even Spotify — getting on playlists, things like that are becoming more important than ever, and it can really be someone’s shot.”A trend that many in the country music industry say they hope is here to stay.
2021 will go down as the year of adjustment for live streaming, following a year of exceptional circumstances in 2020. COVID catalysed secular growth but boosted figures higher than the natural level of the market at this early stage. The coming years will be characterised by steady continued growth, with hybrid and ‘pandemic proof’ solutions for venues, such as Live Nation fitting 60+ venues with Veeps capabilities. The live music sector did not experience the dramatic transformation wrought by streaming. Instead, the sector had to wait for the pandemic’s impact and the resultant COVID bounce for live streaming. Expect more investments and more consolidation as this market begins to set itself up for long-term, organic growth.
