Insane that the best 3 albums of ‘24 were released within something like 30 days (from my memory, I’d check the specifics but there are cocktails to make 😝) Absolute stunners Shambolics @bellemtmusic.bsky.social The Snuts 💥💥💥

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

From 2011–2018 I played cover gigs to get by. Occasionally, I still get panicked texts from agents, but fees haven’t budged in those 13 years: £175 for 3x45 min sets in 2011 is STILL £175 now when it should be £250 with inflation. 🗣️…Maybe this is why you can’t find enough musicians to play shows? 🤷‍♂️

Stunning sounds from the incredible @bellemtmusic.bsky.social ✨ #GodIsBusy music.apple.com/gb/album/god...

You send music to music lovers on Bluesky and 🥁 they actually listen to it and reply… just like the good old days of twitter 🫶

@eyles777.bsky.social thanks for the follow! Would love you to take a listen to this album, could be a future AOTD? 🙏 found.ee/Mean-World-S...

A good way to indie up your feed… go.bsky.app/SoktucY

I know it’s not a competition but Jesus had 12 followers and I now have 15… I know it’s not a competition, it isn’t, we’re both good at what we do.

Self-reminder: The path to the life you want is paved with uncomfortable conversations.

Artists: maybe nothing is working because we’re living in an imaginary online place and expecting tangible real world results. Get out there and affect some people!

Oh no! The twitters are multiplying faster than we can boycott them…

Half as many followers as I’m Following. This is like stalkers anonymous all over again.

The average Spotify user streams ~25 hrs/month. Spotify could do the right thing: cap ‘unlimited’ $10.99 plan at 700 streams (~45hrs/month), pay artists 1c/stream ($7 to artists), keep $3 for themselves, and put 99c into a grassroots music fund. Fairer streaming is possible…🧵

While I only have 4 followers I would just like to say you’re all welcome for dinner sometime.

Can’t wait for these shows with the main man!

When you asked for old Twitter you’d forgotten about the cat pictures too, right?

So many writers on this app 🙌📖 …Any room for a songwriter?

Intro: 👋 Hey I’m an indie music artist who has had some success and my fair share of failure, I co-host a podcast called ‘DROPPED’ where I talk with my pal Greg Holden about what a shitshow the music industry is right now & we work out how we can navigate it & reach our fans again. Who are you?
