Are the major labels suing AI audio companies, because they want the space all to themselves? We...wonder in the latest Money 4 Nothing Pod newsletter ==> money4nothing.substack.com/p/ai-goes-to-c…

Catching up on some 90's American historiography for a class I'm teaching this semester and it seems to be TOTALLY dominated by political history. Anyone have suggestions for some books that approach the era from a different perspective?

listening to some of the dead & co shows from last year's run via official soundboard mixes—being able to really hear Bob makes such a big difference! He's playing SO well through a lot of this. The mixture of rhythm and melody is just great + the guitar interplay totally works

reading about American Automakers problems with electric cars and...I feel like there's this weird marketing disjunct. Ford makes an electric pick-up, van, and SUV. I might be wrong but...the folks I know most eager to adopt an electric feel like they want sedans?

2/3 of my catalog was demonetized this year. Its about 1-2k$ income I will no longer receive. Rn I make about 11/12k$ a year, so even that amount of a loss significantly affects my life & well being.

HOLY SHIT (with the full meaning of the word holy) ==> I'm so incredibly glad that this exists. archive.org/details/datpif…

honestly -- I feel like this just reflects how good a composition the original is. You can hear them trying to make fun of it, and slowly getting sucked into the energy until the end where they are doing a more or less straight pavementized-version?

the gpt40-mini prices are...just insane. I messed up a enormous text-analysis call, and realized that rather then blowing like...90 bucks, I had in actuality spent 5. Real question—is this the uber-losing-money stage of things? Or is this actually about massive scale?

There's a reason Steve Silberman was chosen to be the concluding voice in the four-hour career spanning "Long Strange Trip." Farewell to a consummate thinker and Deadhead.

The DOJ's Ticketmaster anti-trust action has the possibility of remaking the American music industry. We talked with Future of Music Coalition to understand how—and what the live-nation monopoly has been up to ==> open.spotify.com/episode/2NiSdr…

Man -- every time I teach about them, I'm more convinced that the Whigs are central to understanding American history. Just...the internal contradictions and the historical trajectory tells us so much about US politics over the long term.

RIP Rich Homie Quan, 1/2 of the greatest group since Outkast, the melodic genius who never stopped going in, who sang & wrote hooks as memorable as anything to ever chart, pop masterpieces straight out the mud. An era-defining ATL all-timer. The tour dates forever locked in.
