Recently, I've started to pay more attention to the #lyricists and other personnel listed on the #music I listen to, and I am learning about a vast pool of #musicians I've never heard of. For example, many of the songs on #BonnieRaitt 's first album were written by #Black people. Can the industry do a better job of acknowledging everyone's contributions? Maybe #DJ s should mention songwriters and soloists when announcing #bands and #vocalists ?

Just updated my website with a page of links to sites and services where independent artists and musicians can set up direct streaming of their music to their fans, with some of these supporting digital download sales and other direct merching too. Nice thing is a bunch of these sites are foss and hook into the Fediverse

A bit disheartened by how many punk / indie bands, promoters, etc. are still exclusively using X, Insta & Facebook. I get that moving to fedi platforms (or at least Bluesky) means a drop in 'reach', but better that than tacitly condoning the conduct of Musk et al. A better internet is possible.

Actively looking for any cool bands, labels, zinesters, DIYers, etc. on this platform - say hi and we will follow.
