I’m due a trip down that way soon enough, so I’ll try to make it work with other plans.
What about the others on the bill, are you all solo sets? You could maybe do with a good house band to sit in with you all.

This will be epic! I’ll try to make it down if I can. I used to play at this venue all the time back in the day.
Are you taking your band, Joe, or playing a solo set?

Seriously, you’d never heard of the nudge unit before?! And not one question about the role of this unit during Covid etc? You can do much better than this, Pete.
Read Laura Dodsworth’s ‘A State of Fear’, we were all nudged massively.

I agree, but also think/hope it is an unmet need in people. Maybe it is just that there is so much low quality, ignorable music out there, people just don’t invest in it in the same way. But I’ve seen with giving my kids access to the whole Spotify catalogue, they have ended up reaching back into the past and listening to older music that I also like, but haven’t pushed on them at all. This makes me happy that we can bond over music I like, but also sad for them that it seems like they don’t have generational records/sounds of their own. The people in the family most knowledgeable or invested in current chart music are the grandparents- it makes no sense!
Early 80s records are like a teleport back to my childhood for me now. But what sounds will do that for them? The endless Ed Sheeran shit we hear playing in the shops?🤷‍♂️

You’re good there, I think future generations will judge that work kindly on its merits.🤣

Merry Christmas all.
A Christmas wish - no more AI shite music. If Bitcoin is going to be at the root of a renaissance, I hope it helps support a revival of the music studio, with pools of talented people being paid for working with bands to make truly great records again. Music for the future generations of humanity.

This is a great idea. I couldn’t find anything that actually made me laugh in the ‘comedy’ categories on my TV the other night. Reminded me why I try to never watch TV anymore.

This is correct. If Saylor’s pitch is to be believed and Bitcoin is energy, then this practice is electric arse kissing.

This looks cool. Going to be a real step forward and quickly make most hardware wallets looks dated.

Well done for putting this out.
Malhotra sounded too much the luke warm apologist for my liking.

Nice one, Danny. Looking forward to seeing you make this show your own now. Best of luck.

This is a great idea, Joe.
I would always appreciate you playing one of mine if it fits in, how about this one? It has the benefit of being quite short too 😀

The beard discussion is an important one. It can surely only be settled by an experiment with volunteers growing beards and submitting themselves to before and after scorings?

I’ve released Cell Division on Wavlake. Hope you enjoy listening to it.

His response appears to be that 10 hours of time invested is not enough, serious critics need to part with money, personal details and get a book into their homes.

Thanks, Peter. I’ve been trying Wavlake out and it they are doing a great job. It’s still early, but I’m loving the way it can be integrated with the podcasting 2.0 index and the tracks appear in Fountain and on Music Side Project. Hopefully, the audience for consuming music this way will grow.
Going to put some more tracks on there soon. It’s the advantage of being fully independent!

There are lots of people on here already, maybe it’s just not a good search experience yet? And the bubble is perhaps just because the bigger accounts are obvious and visible and most other people are kind of invisible? I make music and post it here. Maybe that makes me an artist? Im not daft enough to describe myself as left or right though.
