I think i'd be better off just purchasing the albums I listen to on cd rather than have a monthly fee for major streaming service for Neil Young and a monthly fee for a minor streaming service for Irish artists.

Not that anyone on thumped could be accused of not buying physical music.

As I posted on Twitter, Neil Young Archives has all the artists you need: Neil Young, Crazy Horse, The Shocking Pinks, The Ducks, The Stray Gators, CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, The Bluetones*, The Restless, etc.


*no, not those Bluetones.

see you up the front

Yeah you aren't wrong.

I've a playlsit of 200 disparate tunes on spotify that's a go-to for me.

I am at this point picking lazy over ethical.

There's a thread on reddit about Nils Lofgren taking his stuff down too. They are all going mad with the "who's this guy." "fuck him" etc.

There is a generation that all they know is streaming, and we should look down on them.

I only have bandcamp and everything I own on a home NAS. But the streaming from that isn't the may west. USB in the car full of stuff. Otherwise it's youtube/laptop/CDs/records at home.

I was training someone recently and i use a fair bit of sarcasm to move things along. Anywhooo i was saying 'this is a mouse for a computer, have you used one before' and they responded 'yeah i think i did last year once'.

I nearly died of old age on the spot.

It's just people who don't like music. No shame in it, they have their own interests. 20 years ago they'd just put on Radio 1 or Today FM and listen to whatever TWO HOURS OF NON-STOP CLASSIC HITS was on there, now they put on whatever the Spotify classic algorithm playlists play them, it serves the same function except any money in it is funneled out of the country.

Also a lot of twitter chatter this weekend about Dan Hegarty and all losing their jobs. Which is bad news tbf. But it's happening because no one listens to the radio, not some conspiracy.

What percentage of the 13-30 bracket listen to the radio? Not many would be my guess.

They have a point, more people would probably listen to the radio if it had a bit of personality but everything is still Atlantic 252 these days. I have a radio down here that I pop on every now and then but my choices seem to be endless Brendan O'Connor or interchangeable drive-time shows. Sunday Miscellany and a scratchy BBC Radio 4 are about as good as it gets.

Ahh fuck Dan Hegarty is gone?!

There goes my hope of getting my new amazing album some airtime

minm charges a fiver a month, and distributes 90% of it, so they distribute 4.50 per user per month to artists/labels. Spotify charges a tenner a month, and distributes 70% of it, so they distribute 7.00 per user per month. How is minm supposed to be making anything better?

Maybe. These kids these days. They have their playlists and they love sharing them.

I'd guess the station/show playing the most Irish music on FM these days is Livedrive on Dublin City.

Yeah lyric aren't gonna look great in under 35s, think they do all their business in the upper ages.

Think this one is essentially office hours. These are the documents used by stations to sell adverts to fund their business.

Lyric is the only one I'd put on for musical pleasure even though it's a bit like Russian roulette sometimes with the hour-long Rory Gallagher specials
