Such a talented artist. Playing like that and singing is no easy task. You can really feel the nerves in the band, the bass players fingers are still shaking when he solos but they smash it.

Podcast idea - Like a normal podcast but without Vivek Ramaswamy.


Currently on the Maajid Nawaz episode, I don’t agree with everything, for example I haven’t drum the Farage koolaid but thank fuck someone’s calling out Yaxley Lennon’s funding. Also shining light on the Corbyn matter. It gets buried  but that shit was so sus.

Appreciate he’s trying to build bridges…


I’ve stopped using sites now. In a way it’s a good filter. Did I need to see that video/article? Probably not, that’s 5 mins I can use elsewhere.

I mean it is fucked, don’t disagree!

My website is banging though, none of that bullshit there.

They’ve met some nice people though.


Not so much just the use of it, that makes sense, especially when considering the core elements but  the extent some make money the core of their identity, that seems like it could anger the gods.

I wonder how many music people are here in a full shitposting capacity and not just occasionally visiting after spending their time with Elno?


Morning!


Very productive day yesterday, I’m tentatively thinking I have an album’s worth of material in me. Even when I finish I probably won’t release straight away, going to focus on publishers first to see if I can get some top line collaborators.

I guess this is the musical equivalent to low time preference. I could put things out indie for short term dopamine hits but the right hook up could bring in a better payday.


No first time I’ve heard that. Are they American? Not heard of them before.


Never seen the video before! The era of taking pills for video shoots in full effect.

Will take a listen… I need ideas.


The conference scene seems a very American phenomena, I occasionally tech conferences in the UK and I can’t picture this scenario. I mean it would brighten it up if someone was saying “Check out Nostr” in amongst the cheap coffee and biscuits.

People here attend conferences for work reasons. It’s funny, I see folks jetting from conference to conference, really enjoying themselves watching PowerPoint presentations. Not hating, just a very different world.


Never trust a man who takes the piss out of his friends situation for engagement.


I’m shocked I tell thee!


Good morning space people.

Without music life would be a mistake seems pretty appropriate.


Would be an assassin if 1: he wasn’t dead, 2: he could fire a gun straight.

Failed assassin would be a better description I guess.


I thought this would be about Trump forgetting his Twitter password…


No. At the time I was working part time as a university lecturer as well as my self employed music work.

There was a rule here that if you earned more from an employer than self employed, you weren’t entitled to any business help. However, the lockdown was after the academic term had finished for the year so I had no income from the university and no stimmies from the state.  The Uni cut me dry and I quit after no one responded to my email pretty much begging for help for 6 weeks.

In total I got £200 from the Musicians Union emergency fund and £100 from a charity, that’s it from the entire Covid period. Meanwhile some folks were getting fat stimmies and working more or less uninterrupted. First couple of months were critical, I was in pretty bad shape. However, after that is when I started working more with the label I work with now, we made 7 albums in that time and I’m still very proud of those records.

Things worked out ok but it left a very sour taste in my mouth.


• Israel’s is promoting an initiative to abolish the 200 shekel bank notes as a first step to narrow use of & abolishing cash. Same as in India in 2016.

• Physical gold & silver may be forbidden to hold. 🪙💰

• Gaza’s population suffering from financial oppression via lower cash deliveries & bank notes physical erosion.

But then so do those that don’t. Therefore the only logical thing to do is shout “look at these bananas!”.


Chinese stonks are quite fun.

Yeah loads of places closed round my way. Food has gone crazy, I don't tend to watch news but I feel it. I can't remember the last time we actually went out to eat either. The restaurant trade is feeling it hard.

We still have better food than the USA though, at least for the time being.


Don't forget it's also a surveillance box!

Ah that one, don’t know the specifics but sounds like the reality I’m constantly bombarded with.


Letting go is the key. Not always easy but vital to hold on to.


Is there a gluten free version of Ukraine?


Aside from any general views on vaccines doing these kind of shoddy deals with medicines is terrible.

If it’s so vital and good, give up the patent.


Agreed, I’m cautious I don’t want to be the guy just saying shit expecting others to do. I can defo set up the domain though and handle the traditional elements of doing a comp.


I can mostly get with that, I’m not a coder but self host as much as I can. For me it’s all about an independent, free internet.


The other thing the Fedi does well is Independent Musician Day (today as it happens).

People sharing each others projects and buying work, primarily on Bandcamp but also places like Mirlo or Jamcoop, any platform that is useful for music makers. (No one is sharing Spotify links).

It’s early doors here but we can make it happen. #WorldMusicianDay


I still get a fair bit more engagement on the Fediverse than here. Primary I think there’s more people in my time zone and a much more established music community.

One thing that’s great for musicians there is the annual Fedivision event, a take on the Eurovision Song Contest.

It’s very open, all abilities welcome and a tonne of people vote. People give feedback on songs, which can be very helpful. All in all it’s a lot of fun!

Do you think the music community here is developed enough to try? What if the prize was sats and the voting process was sat from listeners?

It could be a great way to get a bit of vibe going.

From a technical perspective, could some sort of multisig wallet be used to run the voting process or would one of the existing V4V platforms be interested in hosting? I could supply a hosting domain if needed but the lightning/zap side is way outside my skill set.


Morning Mike, she’ll be forever in your heart. Have a good day x

I mean who does but…

I identify him as a bellend.


That’s a very interesting idea, I suspect 99% of people would give all the money to the person with their pic on the cover though.

But for the rare times they picked the engineer it would be lovely to seek them out and shake their hand!


I’d pay for that, probably using some popular digital money.

Or better still, it just replaces the images with ones of cats.

It’s meant to have some text on it saying bitcoin but I forgot.


You’re not up on the latest.


Q is 2020 we’re on R now.


I’ve no problem with a device that enables those splits from physical. One downside I think overall is the time it takes albums to recoup. It can be many years and some albums never do. The idea has always been that the successful records would cover the cost of others. I guess it would be down to the label to manage their percentage cuts…


For what purpose? Would it be something you scan for bonus content? Not sure what you mean.


Very cool! The usual deal (for me at least) I get paid a day rate and I might pick up the occasional writing part here and there.

The post is a bit in cheek but imagine a whole album made with the splits built in from the day of release, that really would be super cool. Like if the whole recorded was accounted for, eg artwork, mastering, promo budget, the whole thing.


Beats crappy American wresting, if it ain’t two fat people bouncing into each other I’m not interested.


True story.


:gppc:


Albums should have the engineer's names in massive letters and the artist name in tiny letters, with maybe 'featuring' in front. The singer comes in, maybe does 1 day's work, cuts the whole album. The engineer could easily do a month's work, recordings, editing, mixing, you know like making the album. Sounds totally reasonable if you ask me. Oh and I'd like the cash as well, gimme the cash!


Proper wrestler.

Tough choices.

Agreed, to be honest this is the first I’ve heard about the psychology of couple pics.

I’m not going to bother reading more about it, it doesn’t sound particularly interesting to me. Both people look very happy and that’s cool.

Good morning. The fish of good fortune blesses your path this fine day. 🐠


Yeah it’s not really possible to get the desk serviced, the cost far outstrips its value! Luckily it’s modular so I can work on single channels. The small SSL sounds great, I’ve a simular set up at home with an 16 channel live desk, it was previously in an art gallery so only ever light use.


Jimmy Saville was more Hip Hop than Diddly.


Never judge a smile by its footprint.


“At what cost?” 500 btc? Just a guess.


Indeed. Israel don’t give a fuck who they kill.


Definitely not pork sausages then.

Sunlight varies, I’m studio bound at least 2 days a week so that’s long sessions in doors.

The biggest problem I have is getting really sleepy when working on the computer, some of the editing makes me soooo sleepy! Then I over do the coffee to compensate.

It’s funny, all through the summer I slept well, sunlight is the key it seems!

I make better music in the dark though. Hmm….


Fucking USD again, ban it!


Not sure cringe is the word I’d use. I think they’re scum. That works better from my perspective.


:smk:


Probably, never been on my radar tbh.


Not socialist but left leaning anarchist... ultimately all ideologies turn to shit, even your favorite ones. 9 billion people create too much randomness. One person's freedom is another's oppression.

I know enough to know I don't have the answers. If anyone wants someone to vent their anger at leftists more generally, I know a really good hole in the ground they can use.


Ah man sorry to read that, hope it heels up soon!


Hmm maybe it's Nostur related? Also had a number of messages only just appear now I'm on my laptop... Not sure how I switch relays on Nostur tbh. Thanks for reaching out!


There's a tube echo out of shot... The AMS is a reverb, we also have the delay but that's in for repair. You're right about the cost. Just maintaining the AMS has been a drama like you wouldn't believe! We send them on an overnight to Neve, about 300 miles away and they ended up in Johannesburg!?

We do a lot of Dub here so yeah the desk will be staying but a hell of a lot is done ITB but there's some processes using the desk is so much better, especially for saturating delays and other effects, it's just not possible or at least it would take fucking hours to automate!


Out of curiosity, what do you do? Don't need to be massively specific, just interested on different takes within the industry.


I'm not saying you shouldn't... Saying the opposite of that. You can broadcast and opinion, so can they. Doesn't matter if you think they suck. Musicians get asked to do loads of stuff, some are more principled than others for sure.

Anyone who votes based on what a celebrity says is probably doing it wrong anyway. Unless it's Phil Collins, then definitely do that.


To come on the other side of this, musicians should be free to support whoever they like. The idea that people in the public eye should keep their mouths shut on politics baffles me.

Disagree for sure, if you feel really strongly  about it go to their gig and shout “you suck”.


This desk is great but it’s even worse than I am in the mornings!

Now I fiddle with buttons until it wakes up.

Happy Sunday, have a jolly decent time.


Morning! All good, caffeine slowly doing its thing. You?

Just chilling, playing records https://zap.stream/naddr1qq9rzdejx5mryd3hxs6qygqyvv3r4hecm7dz9flmq7ve5cu0m4pdssm4w0st7xwy8cqnk9xkwvpsgqqqwenseguph9


Nice.

Forever the case.


Hardware is just a cheap HP webcam, OBS to Owncast and then Zapstream. The other camera is just my MacBook cam. The stream itself is handled by a cheap secondhand Lenovo I got for £150 on eBay. Still learning!

Superior level of sardonic humor 😂#rapstr https://youtu.be/H_aqesPl0Hg?si=YBcV6CE3kyLJG29V


Yeah sucks doesn't it, got a long day ahead tomorrow too, don't want to yawn my way through the session!


Could well be… also the headphones I wear during the night have broken. Normally I have podcasts on while I sleep, oddly this really helps.


Third night in a row of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep.

My body must be worn out, why does my brain keep doing this?


“Secret” eh…


Geyser Fund has shut down the crowdfunding project Bitcoin for Palestine, citing regulatory uncertainty.

Let this be your reminder that you cannot code faster than the state can invoke arbitrary penalties. Permissionless money is under massive threat by the global AML regime. It's time to wake up.

Haven’t bumped my band in a minute round these parts… #V4V

We’re with you, Vince https://image.nostr.build/ddd58f078d6bacfa14a010a3dc22c782e7287a1dc6276f742f8da151ff457038.jpg


Aww


George has other ideas though…
https://nostrcheck.me/media/0463223adf38df9a22a7fb07999a638fdd42d8437573e0bf19c43e013b14d673/318e80258b81e2e13b50181462c1d2dfbbbdd694240f7ba8a300d8e28d3ef29e.webp


Upgraded the shed internet with literally zero VC capital.

Is this what living on a bitcoin standard looks like?

Shove that up your data centre Sam Altman.


Or DIY, it’s cheaper.


Handjob?


Boom.


Turns out, I was sleeping on NextCloud. The latest release js impressive. Might just work to migrate off iCloud.


It is if that’s the clientele they get…


Not complaining, telling you first hand how many in the industry are living.


And if you’re Metallica these should be slightly longer bursts of white noise.

Oh hold on a second…


To add on. What is not accounted for is TIME.

For example Dark Side If The Moon was made during a 6 month lock out for the whole of Abbey Road Studio 2. Lock out means the studio is available at all hours in that time. Essentially the band own that space.

Say those facilities now exist in a laptop (they don’t really). Then it still takes the musician TIME.

Ironically a big tune on that album was also labelled time.

For streaming revenue, the average musician should be submitting short test tones until the situation improves.


Could there be a way of feeding back the reply guy to the reply guy’s replies, creating ever more and more computing demand until either planet Earth explodes or we faithfully recreate X?


Makes me feel wanted!


Hmm if the cost of production is close to zero then the musical output should also decrease.

Single tone sine waves are all this market supports.


There was a long form podcast, may have been Marty Bent or Lex Fridman where he classed people into reds, blues and greys… the greys essentially ran things, the police came into the red class, with extra privileges and there were the blues.

Reminds me of something, I can’t quite put my finger on it…


Hmm I’m not so sure. In the 80s/90s that $10 would’ve bought that one record. You want to listen to another? You buy that as well. X that over a 1 year period, the average person would’ve spent way more… and that money was worth more too.

If artists got the significant part of that $10 it would help but it still wouldn’t be the same.

Musicians need to make music worth that streaming fee. One note should cover it.


It’s funny, right now I’m trying to find value in what I do, I’m an odd chap and whilst some of my skills may be transferable, I’m so used to being in and around music the thought of pivoting scares me. Independence is important to me and I’m searching for something.

Not quite sure where I’m going with this but I’ll crack on regardless. I think the right path will reveal itself.


Ah it’s Jack Dorsey again!


Agreed about cultural significance, I’ve avoided arts council funding for the reasons you set out (although have years experience working with people in funded groups, mental health, young people etc).

I certainly believe this is one of the most DIY spaces available in this era and I’m a big believer in that.

Whether we’re right or not only time will tell…


I’ve a friend who actually did that. As the great Rick James said, cocaine is a hell of a drug….


Indeed! I still love albums, my favourites all put me in that world for 40 or so minutes. Some songs stand up well alone but it’s always nice to hear where the artist was at in that time and space.

Interestingly, a lot of young musicians are focused on making the best 1 minute video now as that’s what drives engagement.


Nice, you could be onto something there. What about when these LLMs start catching feelings? Who will pick up the pieces then…

LLMs phoning the head of Sony at 4am calling them a cunt. That’s when we know they’ve got it.


It’s easy to blame Spotify for the music industry’s woes and Daniel Elk is a cunt for sure but I’d also add 98% of humans don’t value music either.

Folks who only contribute £9.99 per month are essentially rent seeking on musicians time.

Maybe this justifies nuclear war? It’s all very Broadstairs.  :Nuclear:


Wow, music venues closing down left and right. Such a shame. I’ve been to Berlin a couple times but new made it to Watergate. Anyone been?
#asknostr
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/17/berlins-watergate-nightclub-will-close-with-new-years-eve-last-dance


A quarter of clubs in the UK have shut since 2020.

All the grass roots clubs are also struggling. Truth is no one values music anymore. That’s not me saying that, that’s Daniel Elk, Spotify CEO. If the value of music is zero maybe we should start releasing single sine waves, match the music with the value!


What would be super cool would be for some sort of aggregator service built on Peertube for music. Peertube supports V4V self hosting, musicians can use this as a self sovereign way to share music. However going to individual sites to listen to music doesn’t work for listeners.

If musicians could opt in to the aggregation then listeners could use that as a central point to access music while the relevant splits are sent to musicians.

I’ve no idea if such a thing is possible but from my perspective that would be a serious win.

#Music #Streaming #Peertube #V4V #SelfSoverieng

Ps. Saying self sovereign sounds cringy to my ears, I’m sure there was a time when you could just be human and that was good enough… DIY or punk sounds better.


I find his vision of the world disturbing, classing people by colour groups,  police if class over groups of citizens will likely go horribly wrong.

"The enshittification of the internet wasn't inevitable. The old, good internet gave way to the enshitternet because we let our bosses enshittify it. We took away the constraints of competition, regulation, interop and tech worker power, and so when our bosses yanked on the big enshittification lever in the c-suite, it started to budge further and further, toward total enshittification.

It is not a "news cycle".  It is an accelerating carousel of horror populated by violent clowns inside a hall of mirrors.


Sleep well man!


Haha I’ve already swapped some records around, loaded up on jazz for the morning.

Need to remember to write down what I play this morning, had a couple of people ask for track listings.


In an hour… still dosing myself with caffeine right now.


Ah you’re still up, all is well with The Force!

Damn, Nostr really is a thing then.


Morning!


X is worse than the press for sure. If a journalist lies there’s legal implications. Anyone can chat shit of X (especially the owner) without consequence.
I’m of the mind the only solution is to short Elno’s website and long the free and open internet. If it takes others years to catch up it’s on them.


This one is my band Liotia, my main project where I produce and co-write with the singer. Been slowly getting catalogue on Wavlake, especially since I’ve stopped using Spotify! Cheers Derek. 👊🏼

Considering changing my name to Lyn Alden with this in mind. Seems a good way to get engagement round these parts, definitely beats doing music.

Ok just bought some CAT8 Ethernet cable and new switcher unit.

Looks like the shed isn’t as powerful as it should be. The shed needs all the power!

I wonder if I can do a VC fundraise like Sam Altman?

$7 trillion should cover getting very good internet in the shed.

Fair point.


I never use X but the weird things people say there are a constant source of amusement.

If folks don’t want a free and open internet that’s on them.


Silencing the Press, Silencing Democracy

In Suriname, the government is weaponizing defamation lawsuits, violence, and intimidation to stifle journalists and muzzle free speech. The world stays silent—perhaps we're too small for the global stage to care.

But censorship here is real, and it's growing. As media platforms like Facebook are used to suppress local news outlets, we look to decentralized solutions like Nostr as a lifeline for our democracy. Yet, despite the urgency, we’ve been met with silence from the global community.

Our largest news outlets are under attack, with pages facing deletion. Facebook has become a tool for censorship, with false reports leading to suspended pages. We haven’t received any support, but we refuse to surrender.

Freedom of speech shouldn’t depend on a platform’s whims—or a government’s threats.

Starnieuws, Suriname Herald, SUN News, ABC, Rasonic TV… they all face the same crackdown. The time to act is now.

Yeah I’ve never found speaking in front of people/performing overly daunting (except when it’s been a subject I don’t fully understand).  It’s also a good barrier between myself and dealing with people more directly.


Tel Aviv party hit with a rainbow?

Fair enough.


Hot take. USA doesn’t have national service because if kids could shoot properly they’d run out of presidents.


Also struggle with eye contact, this also depends on my overall energy levels. I’m still not fully convinced by my ASD diagnosis although I definitely exhibit some autistic characteristics, sound can also be a big issue for me, as can burnout but these could also be due to childhood trauma.

Interesting to read that you’ve had those experiences, definitely not something I think is experienced by autistic men. I have been approached by men a couple of times but I just assumed that’s because I’m hot… lol😎


Good morning! Anything notable happening?

If Europeans want to do something constructive about migration they would do well in getting jiggy with it asap.

Whilst a lot of people hate the bots, I for one am happy Dorsey and Alden appear desperate to make friends with me.


Good morning.


Sitting watching a blinking DSL lLED isn’t as exciting as I thought it would be.


Have you described this in more detail previously? What signals do men give in that regard, is there a parallel in autistic male behaviour?

There’s a huge difference between AI stealing, providing value for shareholders vs me stealing, providing food on my plate.

Got a new track as a Nostr/Wavlake exclusive. Made under my grimier Shank Marvin alias with UK emcee Skrufayce.

Skrufayce is like the Lorena Bobbitt of rap. This venomous diatribe was recorded on her mobile phone and sent to me for sonic destruction. Warning, contains strong feelings...

It’ll never catch on…


Best bet is just leave the platform. There’s no way I’d tolerate that in my world. If I saw someone doing that irl I’d beat the crap out of them but the reality is it doesn’t happen here or at least any cases are a lone psychopaths, usually a kid who then turns out to be an axe murderer in later life. 1% of humans are psychopaths, it’s one problem we’ve never appeared to fix.

I think Musk is in that 1% so fuck his website. I’ve got my own website and it’s much better than his imo.


No! It’s gorgeous though. It never ceases to amazes me how much great music there is out there.


Yes, running lots of data centres starts arguments with the crystal way up in the atmosphere and they decide life as a crystal will be easier on Mars so they make their way to the nearest Space X launch side and hang on to the rockets.


Morning Cristalina, have a great weekend!


Crikey is that what the algorithm does now? Musk is a nutcase.


Well in what I’ve heard in various podcasts with Austrians and various libertarians I can’t think of any where they’ve discussed these issues.

I do remember Saifedean Ammoys saying he never donates to charity though…


How will it fix it?


Every area has a school like this, very under funded and kids with very complex needs, I regularly work with kids from one school, it’s mostly a residential school, a lot of kids families can not cope.

Austrian economists never consider these people. One of the biggest reasons I’m not a ‘Bitcoin fixes everything’ type person.

There’s a very strong Bandcamp culture on The Fediverse, I guess that was never much of a thing on X (never used the platform much).

There’s a lot of blood round the ear so I guess a very small scratch could produce a lot of blood… but I also don’t know the whereabouts of any aliens at that time. It’s a mystery.

Either way, I want to see a messy ear. Surely it would poll well considering? They could make it look worse so he looks more heroic rather than a bumbling bundle of lump.


Yesterday I dug out some very old Pro Tools session and due to various plugins not being used now (Waves mostly) the tracks were pretty bare… and it sounded so much better than the version I mixed back then with all the plugins!

I used to think production and mixing was to do as many chops as possible. Now I know it’s mostly about getting rid of shit that’s in the way.


Ok I’m not a US citizen and take minimal interest in politics but I do have a burning question…

How come Trump’s ear isn’t mashed up? It looked fine to me, I would’ve thought being shot on the ear would at least look a bit scabby, even now.

What’s the lowdown on the ear?

Once I have the info I’ll happily disassociate myself with US politics until something more exciting happens.

Ah well sleep well. I’m still early on my time zone so expect an only GNs for the next hour!


Cheers, it’s tongue in check but some serious points buried in it….

I could conform and make Bitcoin memes, songs about Bitcoin and dedicate my morning stream to Satoshi but it would ring pretty hollow .

Good points though, you might have seen me say before this is part of a wider process for me, I need to learn new skills. Spent the day in the studio and despite working on some great projects, it’s hard to see how anything will cut through the noise.

I’m actually happy how it’s building, there’s a small community forming and they keep coming back, I always take that as a positive. There’s been so many technical challenges, I want really aware of the compute and skills needed when I started.

Keep living and learning!


Good morning. How are you this morning? Anything exciting going on?


So sort of purple then?


It does say adjustable though.


Yes

Agreed.


I bet if I redid that post and changed the word Spotify to shitcoin, everyone here would love it...


Are manifestos still a thing or did Marc Andreessen ruin it for all us lone nutters everywhere?

Regardless...

My One Man Mission Against Spotify.

Spotify has killed music

Daniel Elk isn't a real Elk

AI Ed Sheeran everywhere, all the time, forever and ever.

If the cost of production is close to zero, then musical merit should also be set to zero. All music on streaming platforms to consist of a single note performance by the year 2030, produced by Universal Music's AI engine. Every musician you know will be dead.

This is their vision of the future. A future where Daniel Elk controls everything to see and hear. He will beam the hottest Joe Rogan takes into every withering neuron in your decaying skull.

Spotify has no listeners. Zero. You think you heard music on Spotify? Well you didn't. The sound emitted is in a negative feedback loop. It does not exist. You do not exist. Nothing exists.

There is a better way...

Who am I? I'm that motherfucker with a second hand ThinkCentre in a shed who will single highhandedly destroy Daniel Elk, one listener at a time.

We currently have 8 listeners. Next will be 100 listeners. 100 listeners who enjoying listening to an aging honky playing music he likes in a shed, talking through a beat up Unidyne mic going through a Space Echo effect pedal.

Next billions and billions and billions and billions will be tuning in to hear a weird bleepy record I bought in 1990 and have no extra information on at all.

We will stream to extra-terrestrials in far off universes just as soon as I get my new router and broadband package from Zen.

Music will be started at 45rpm when it's supposed to be 33. Other music will be started at 33 when it's supposed to be at 45. Records will get stuck, you will hear crackle. You will be alive. YOU EXIST.

What we experience, what we feel, touch, smell and see. Who we are, who we aren't. Who are you?! What are you? What is this? How is what?

We are the music, we smell like music. Our bodies are covered in billions and billions and billions of tiny tattoos that say MUSIC.

We are the people with sheds and no accounts on X. We do not go viral. We are the underground. We move like mycelium beneath the forest floor. There is no Instagram, no like buttons are smashed in our world. We chat, we post Phil Collins emojis. We are the future.

We self host shit and buy shit we like in a format where the musician gets paid. Bandcamp, Mirlo, Wavake, record shops and GIGS.

We are humans on the internet!

I did think of paraphrasing Andreessen's work but then I reread bits of it and remembered how shit and coked up it sounded. Plus he looks like an actual penis and is a total scammer.


Me. Well why not?


If you’re excited about Social Graph wait until you see Civic Pie Chart.


The good one.

Hmm maybe, maybe not.

Who funded these buildings in the past? Some were the state, some by wealthy folks. Let’s take the government out the equation as they’re broke. Why hasn’t say Elon Musk built a classically solid looking structure? It’s not due to debt or lack of capital. Quite the opposite, he could draw on huge pools of capital.

Blaming everything bad on fiat is easy enough but I’ve yet to find the argument compelling.

What is stopping any number of ultra wealthy folks building such a structure. It’s not as if building things like this stopped in 1971. The trend was already well set.

Skilled labour would be a factor, not too many stone masons about. What am I missing in this theory?


Morning!

Ok maybe I just say to Snoop we hang out, smoke a doobie and forget about this whole music thing?


No need to imagine, I’m one of them!


Wow not heard this stat before but apparently Snoop Dogg has stated that for 1 BILLION streams, he gets around about $45,000.

Fuck Spotify.

Ps. Yo Snoop, if you read this you can always host on my PeerTube instance, ok there’s no money in it but at least it’s cool.


I never had an account on X, can I get a free Coldcard?


Yeah sorry I thought the article was something else… fully aware either colour wants anyone outside of Israel in the Middle East dead. Well except the Saudis which is ironic as they’re the only ones to successfully attack the US mainland.


But hey, neither is quite like Palestinian genocide.


Ps. Always enjoy that Prince clip though. GN!


I really rate Steve Hackett on Genesis’ Firth of Fifth, not super complex but a great melody.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain is another favourite of mine.


Don’t spoil the mystery!


It’s weird, when I met my now wife thing, this whole process called love happened which transcended any rational economic factors.

Live in 5!


Indie labels have it super though. They get paid less per stream than the majors.

Most indies are BBE (barely breaking even).


Indeed. That was a big part of taking our music off streaming services. Everyone taking a cut out of not very much.

I agree. It’s up to us not to play the game, otherwise we all lose.

Your streaming dollars only support streaming executives and big record companies. Bandcamp $$$ go into artists' pockets

I wouldn’t be at all surprised… it won’t take much haha!


Honestly it feels like a weight lifted from my head. In these times we all know the issues with various platforms, be it X, Facebacon, Spotify etc. we’re under the weight that its career suicide not being there.

Maybe it is but how long can we keep making these cunts rich? The best tool we have is to stop using their services. Period. They’re leeches and culture vultures.

Sure bring the cost of music down to zero, listen to AI generated Ed Sheeran all day (I’m sure he’s a nice bloke really). In my shed we’re playing by a different set of rules!

Plus Daniel Elk isn’t even a real Elk. :smokyphil:


It's official! #Liotia will no longer be on Spotify, Tidal or other mainstream streaming services. We've been considering this for a while and decided that if Spotify can't support independent musicians then why on earth should we be paying to advertise their services? Telling people to 'check us on Spotify' is frankly embarrassing.

It's much more viable to check us on radio or check us on Bandcamp/Faircamp/Mirlo/Wavlake etc.

In all this time we've only earned a few scraps from the streaming platforms, meanwhile PRS, Bandcamp, Mirlo and Wavlake have paid us considerably more, like in excess of 100x more. So in short... Fuck Spotify. Fuck them up the fucking fuck.

We'll be releasing some new music in the coming months and it will be fabulous! There's some genuinely exciting news on that front but all in good time...

We support independent music and an independent internet. :Nuclear:

Our whole back catalogue will be on offer the next Faircamp Friday and I'll finish getting the catalogue on Wavlake ASAP.

Cheers!

It’s just being courteous, nothing wrong with that. You never know, one day he might offer you a bag or something.

Yes I didntcrealise the hls part was an addition to the url, I was just putting the regular url in! I did search for hls in the Owncast docs a couple of days ago but nothing came up… most likely me being daft.

Just tried it and now my details actually saved so that might just be me set for the morning!

If I go via Zap.Stream does that still mean my initial output from OBS is still a problem? OBS doesn’t natively support HLS apparently so it’s still an rmtp link to the Owncast server.


Gonna try shoving an hls up the fandango tomorrow. Let’s see what happens…

Trust me to pick a project that actually involves a whole heap of confusing shit.

I’ll get there though. Soon billions and billions and billions will be tuning into my live stream where I play mostly obscure records.


I learned a lot listening to this! Being new to the whole streaming so much goes over my head! Finally found how I get an HLS address from Owncast. Going to try in the morning, maybe this is the secret to get Zap.Stream working? Appreciate this is probably super basic info for most folks.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

Ps. Does anyone know if there’s any docs for Zap.Stream? Can’t see anything on the GitHub.

Everything has to be politicised to ensure everyone stays in a state of fuckry.

They give 5gb in data included for roaming. Most my trips abroad are pretty short and I don't mind getting extra for a trip. Yeah they use o2, who I was with for years and didn't really have any issue with.


Pretty much what you say. Just basic use and a decent amount of data. I was with o2 for years then mistakenly switched to Vodafone, thinking it would make life easier combining phone and broadband, turned into a nightmare!


That last point is worth exploring. Perhaps that’s how many other people feel and they’re all creating their own German culture? It’s certainly not as simple as phones, there’s trade, supermarkets, online shopping etc.

I’m with you about the music. Most english folk music that gets played at festivals is awful but their is also some amazing traditional songs that when approached well are brilliant.


It’s the leaf of love!

Anyone here using GiffGaff as a mobile phone provider? What’s the vibe?

Also, if they’re shite. Anyone got good recommendations? Vodafone is a very strong, hard no!

Dealing with this today and I trust my Nostr peeps more than any online stuff.


Good morning, that looks amazing!

Alan, after my old landlord.


Hello


Is that MIA?


It’s a decent service, they’re trying to rewind to when Bandcamp was indie.


Unless your friends are billionaires. In which case get them over here and insist they zap like fuck.

Thanks for the additional clarifications. We’re in an era where it can be difficult to believe what we see.


Negative. Americans were not popular and that wasn’t just with Greeks but also foreign workers.


It’s a good leveller. Now folks on both left and right can see what’s up.

I would feel smug for repeatedly telling people Starmer would be massively authoritarian, to be fair many people who were former Labour members knew full well.

But I feel no joy in being right.


The UK government arrested a pro-Palestinian activists just for what they’ve said online.

I lived in Santorini back in 94 and the opinions about America back then were pretty low. That was pre the second Iraq war. I’ve Turkish friends and American friends. I don’t agree with the actions here. The only basis for questioning of it is the glitchiness and there’s something a little weird about the guy’s face but it’s just a guess. I’m not an expert in assessing video.


Considering selling my entire tape cassette collection 🤔

Any tape heads on nostr who might be interested? Probably do them in two lots;

Lot 1) Large majority of the discography by the Japanese ambient tape label Muzan Editions. Really fantastic stuff

Lot 2) Large mix of mostly alternative and experimental stuff

It's hundreds of tapes in total, I'd say mostly near mint condition. If there is interest I will happily share more detailed lists. 🙏🎧📼


Hmm it doesn’t quite look real to me but if it is so it’s unsurprising. The USA government kills innocent people throughout the Middle East and then expects a warm welcome.

Hope that guy is ok, it’s not like he’s making those decisions. Unless he’s the CEO of Lockheed, in that case…


Welcome aboard!


Also, so long as Abi is ok with it, Liotia will no longer be on streaming services. Fuck them too. We'll still be on Bandcamp, Mirlo, Wavlake and of course https://video.mxtthxw.art the best platform on planet earth.


With luck by the end of this week I'll have a new ISP with MOAR bandwidth! It's been absolutely painful dealing with Vodafone who can only be described as utter cunts.

I've gone with Zen. More money but it looks like I have a lot more control over things.

The future is bright, the future is zen.


It’s network effects mostly. I’ve managed to get a couple of people to the Fediverse, that’s been after 5 years not being on Meta or X etc.

So much of the pushback is ‘but these people are here’. I find it disappointing, we should be focused on building grass roots imo. I tuned out of politics eventually, I almost got sectioned in 2019 as I was so upset by what I saw in the political machine up close. The corruption is disgusting.

I’m not anti markets, I’m very anti the current system and I also think we need to have a society that helps people in different/vulnerable positions. Most people here are blessed they’re in good health. A lot of people don’t have that option and it’s not just because they didn’t eat steak. The world is a complex system but people want simple solutions. That’s not going to happen imo. Do what you can to make the world around you better.

So me, I’ll stay on the open internet regardless. It’s a tool for everyone!


If left folks are on BlueSky they’re confused imo. Why simp for yet another corporation?

Keep it open protocol and win prizes.

Likewise Zoe, good morning!


Ah I knew there was some wisdom there. I'm pretty basic haha.


Yes that's what I do but when I open the tab where it says I have my own server, I enter the details but the save button is always greyed out. Do it work your end? At first I thought it might be my browser (Mullvad) but it's the same with Firefox.

#Music #LiveStream #OneManAndHisTurntable


Makes sense. I came to this with zero knowledge, I’m not a gamer and other than podcasts I’d never watched a live stream…

If I could save the url where it says so on zap.stream id be so happy. Have you tried that yet?


I’ve was trying a plugin on OBS that split the stream so had 2 stream keys in OBS but that was cruddy. Then tried forwarding from zap.stream to Owncast. That worked but is the opposite of what I want to do. The. Zap.Stream has an option ‘I have my own server. And you’re meant to add the url and it mentions HTL and according to Derek the CEO that works well but the option to save settings is always greyed out and I can’t find any documentation.


Likewise, good morning and best of luck for the week ahead!


That would be the dream! We’re always dependent on third parties. That’s fine when the accounting is clear and straightforward but in music it very rarely is.


Likewise, we’re travelling pretty fast but no idea where we’ll end up!


Morning! Sounds interesting…. I use an extension to log in. But still can’t get it linking to Owncast, Jeff CEO said he set it up and it was easy but it just won’t work here…


Good morning! I just envision myself with cuts on my feet, I’m quite clumsy.

Do you mean to personally stream your own music or as more general streaming option?


True.


But how much purchasing power will that be? Hmm…


I know a few people on the Fediverse using Funkwhale, I’ve yet to try myself though.


Very much so.


Whoever did this I want to buy a drink!

Oh no I totally get it and I’m here for it, it’s a different culture for sure. I just see the two things happening at the same time but with very different approaches.


PeerTube I’m finding difficult, they’ve implemented V4V but I’ve been unable to set it up for streaming. I started using it 3 years ago when I decided I wanted my band music videos to be on my own server and not dance to g00gle’s tune using YouTube. That was the start of my journey and I’m nowhere near finding the ideal solution.

I’m always having conversations with musicians saying don’t do Spotify’s advertising for them, point people to Bandcamp, Wavlake or Mirlo (start up similar to Bandcamp). Most musicians know about Bandcamp but there’s a hell of a lot of ground to cover getting them to Wavlake, although I do my best.

I honestly don’t have any answers but I’ll keep trying alternatives. There’s so much going around my head about this stuff at the moment but it’s a struggle to put succinctly!


Hmm Fediverse has even less capital, it’s just people spinning up servers at their own expense…

But yeah, other than that you’re right. I still like both here and there. BlueSky and Meta can do one though.


All can be heard on my PeerTube channel.

Tapestr?


*audio not audience.


Haha true, maybe there just adjusted for inflation.

They would’ve been £4 back then…

Yeah I’ve been deep in 60s/70s records lately and it’s incredible listening to what was just a group of people playing a song in the same room. Records just don’t get made like that anymore.

I always thought the golden age of recording was 68-76. They had the technology to capture the audience really well but hadn’t made the tech to ‘cheat’ much.


Oh shit!!!! Hahaha gwarn Bedford!


No the complete opposite. Records I swapped for small amounts of hash now going for £100!! That’s a serious amount of sats.


Seeing the prices of now of records I swapped as a kid for small amounts of low quality hash has made me feel a little sad.


Wicked! Would love to hear a bit of that...

Yeah I have Matrix, a few things I use have Matrix chats.

Every time I try a Discord account it says I can’t use a VPN or Protonmail to sign up so that’s a no from me.


Are there Discord alternatives here yet? Struggling with some issues but apparently the answers are all in a Discord chat, not on Nostr! I don't have a Discord account... I'm on Nostr.

Any help very welcome! #AskNostr


Is there anything specific you're doing with your url to make HLS stream? When I add mine nothing seems to happen... Sorry to bug you, Grinder did say there was a Discord chat but I don't have Discord. Trying to keep it indie!


I’ll take another look. Whenever I’ve tried the bit to add my own stream key it doesn’t allow me. I’m probably just doing it wrong, brilliant to know it’s possible that way!


Are you using your Owncast stream key on Zapstream? I currently have a plugin on OBS that should send the addition stream to Zapstream, perhaps there’s a better way?


Really?! That’s my set up too but whenever I’ve tried Zapstream locks up!


Indeed. I don’t care what they do either, it’s not a webpage I’m into!


Does anyone you’re aware of use PeerTube? They’ve added V4V and I can host from my own server, something I don’t think is possible with say Zap Stream, where I’m paying for uptime.

I’d love to stream on my own platform but with Sats but coding is beyond my talents!

I’m asking you as you are CEO after all .


I know, I find it frustrating sometimes, it's all 'The Government' whilst ignoring the fact we're heading into a TechnoFuedalist state where instead of Dem/Reps or whatever it's Thiel, Musk, Shrinivasen and Andreesson. That vibe ain't cool either!

Musk can't even look after his own kids properly, fuck giving him control of the planet.

Not sure if the people coming in and out of the chat is an issue with the stream or the music just isn't their vibe.

If you've popped in, letting me know either way would be super helpful. Thanks!


I'm inclined to agree re. The Guardian's approach for more regulation is flawed imo but it's important to recognise Musk wants the power that governments currently have to enact his vision on the world.

For me the solution is to leave Musk in a room on his own and live my online life elsewhere all together. I wonder how many people will join us?

Morning Ben!


Good to know, I thought it didn’t sound like RZA.

Must be hard when you’ve made so many incredible beats, the vibes on Ghosface and GZAs first albums were so mystical and different. For me this beat felt way too regular. Still dug it though.


Good morning!


It’s an interesting place for sure. Definitely a different mindset to the Fediverse where I’ve lived online for the last 5 years.


Why were they muting you?


Is that RZA on production?


True, I just think it’s worth noting other capital is involved. Musk is the poster boy but I’m sure his investors have some strong opinions too.


I hope so. Looking to build more income through V4V. There’s a lot a need to work out. The music industry is in a very weird place right now.

The differences in the industry no compared to say the 1990s are huge. The cost of producing music has come down massively but the ability to cut through to an audience has completely changed.

Most young musicians are looking more toward producing a tight 2 min video than writing an album (or at least the more successful ones are).

Music sales and streams account for so little. Big artists bring in more from brands etc. they’re essentially sales reps for all kinds of other products.

Anyway, I’m here for the V4V. Let’s do it.


That outfit looks like it’ll be quite hard to take a dump. Unless there’s a flap at the back?


The banning of X is an issue in one sense, sure speech has been censored but on the flip side, the business model still incentivises bullshit, hate and misinformation. It’s not a town square, it’s a wealthy consortium’s societal plaything.

The banning of X is a good thing in my mind. Tools exist and people have options now.

The way certain messages propagate through the platform has always been sus. The government’s don’t like Musk but Musk wants to be like government, he clearly gets a kick from the platform’s ability to create political instability.

Nostr is a super important tool and more broadly an independent internet is the way forward. Removing the incentives to lie for engagement reduce and the lack of a centrally controlled black box algorithm takes away the ability to manipulate the masses.


Fiatjaf sold a bunch of npubs to Musk imo.


Good morning! What’s cooking good looking?


I emailed him about audio back in early 2018 because it was terrible and suggested some tools he could use to fix instead of offering to do it…. I think that could’ve been before Danny emailed and offered to fix it.

I wish him well for the future, what he’s doing with the football team is brilliant.

What would you say was the simplest, clearest resource for energy usage.

I’m porting my streams to OeerTube which supports V4V but I know this might concern some people. I want to put their minds at rest. Whilst I’ve heard the energy debate over and over, I’m after a simple link I can point people to so they can read for themselves.

Thanks in advance!
