I am genuinely shocked at the state of the live music industry right now. This is exemplified y what just happened this week when Taylor Swift tickets went on sale and due to dynamic pricing tickets went up as high as $22k per ticket. How can this be allowed? Live […]
This has to be joke. As we are all aware, the cost of living crisis is affecting us all, some more than others. A new survey has revealed that 90% of professional musicians are worried about affording food. How can this be? Will professional music be wiped out completely and […]
I wasn’t sure how to feel about this news story that Elon Musk has called one of my favourite artists Trent Reznor a “cry-baby”. What is happening in the world right now? Let’s discuss this but in relation to us music folk. What are your thoughts on all these spats, […]
From my own experience, I can relate to a recent article in The Guardian that explains how merchandise is now how artists and bands make money…not through their music. Are we now becoming glorified t-shirt companies? Is this a terrible thing? Or is it a good thing? Tell me. Here […]

Here is a link to the quiz: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-15/google-ai-music-quiz-musiclm-humans-artificial-intelligence/101967746 #aimusic […]
I need your input and help. What do you like and more importantly what don’t you like. I’ve been taking the time to think about how we level up. Our longform podcast is the next thing on our list to release if you’d like a podcast every two weeks. We’re […]
Today I’m happy to be reporting on the return of the rockstar feud. However, I want to talk about why I think characters like Matty Healy and Yungblud are important for our culture, even if some of you may find either of them insufferable. Let me know how you feel […]
