@tacobell we saw your commercial about supporting striving musicians with your value menu. We have an idea about how you could really support artists and musicians. Let's taco bout it. 🌮

@tacobell we saw your commercial about your value menu helping a striving musician. We have a different idea about how you could help artists and musicians. Let's taco about it.

@eldsjal Maybe you meant well and were exploring a worthwhile topic, but it was hurtful to approach it so clumsily while your company continues to devalue creators.

Obviously seeing the feedback to this one and wanted to respond. It’s clear I was far too vague in the post, including with my clumsy definition of content. I understand how it came across as very reductive and that wasn’t my intent. Just to clarify - my original point was not to devalue the time, effort, or resources involved in creating meaningful works, whether it’s music, literature, or other forms of creative expression. What I was most interested in exploring was how, in this environment of constant creation, we can identify and ensure that the bold, exciting, world-changing ideas and pieces of art don’t get lost in the noise. The significant drop in the cost of creation tools (microphones, laptops, cameras) has led to an unprecedented explosion in the volume of what people are able to produce. Creation is only part of the equation. My focus was on exploring the staying power of the most creative, most thought-provoking ideas. That didn’t come across, and that’s on me.

Since the invention of audio recording technology, one model has ruled over the artist and musician community.

1/5. The CRB Remand decision is out. Today the court reaffirmed the 15.1% headline rate increase we earned four long years, confirming that songwriters need and deserve a significant raise from the digital streaming services who profit from their work.

This is how much digital streaming services paid songwriters and music publishers in 2021 for one million streams. It’s not nearly enough.

Amazon and Spotify are proposing the lowest songwriter rates in history. Tag a songwriter and share.

@blamethelabel Seriously

Sit with music before you criticize it.

There's a lot of hype around Web3 and NFTs and their disruption to the music industry. Yet, we're years off from anything resembling mass adoption, and most of these new models and platforms are admittedly for already established artists. #musicindustry

@sonymusic @SonyMusicPub how about a little charity to support independent music? Sony generated $1.99bn from recorded music and music publishing in calendar Q1, up 13.5% YoY - Music Business Worldwide musicbusinessworldwide.com/sony-generates…

@warnermusic let's talk about a charitable slice off the top of that revenue to support independent music! 🎁 Warner Music Group posts $1.38bn in calendar Q1 revenue, up 13.2% YoY - Music Business Worldwide musicbusinessworldwide.com/warner-music-g…

How do you feel today? Only Emojis or gifs or interpretive dance or anything else, please. I am this: 😎 😴 🥑 🙏 😆

@jlengstorf VelPro

I have spent absolutely ridiculous amounts of both time and money on A/V gear. I also couldn’t be bothered to get the right adapter for this tripod so I just velcroed the mic to it.

@Alesis Let's talk about helping support independent music!

🎹 Great pre-show shot of Nas keyboardist Markay Fairley on stage with his Alesis V49MKII last weekend at the Disney Concert Hall in LA.

@FVindver Dope! ✌️

@JoeNBC No. Just no.

@modernwest @emilysplacetx 🙌🙌🙌

Honored to have been able to help raise support for @emilysplacetx, a nonprofit that provides long term care to victims of domestic violence. Learn more about the organization 👇 #slide=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dallas.culturemap.com/news/society/0…

Yes, please.

@MeachamDaily @jmeacham @C13Originals Interesting inflection point to think about Led Zepplin coming along years later and using that image. That would likely not survive public opinion today. @JoeNBC

On this day, May 6th, 1937, the Hindenburg exploded while completing a three-day Atlantic crossing, killing 36 people. #ReflectionsOfHistory 🎧: link.chtbl.com/ROH
