Ozzy Osbourne’s death is like the death of a crusty white 3 legged no toothed dog in it’s mid 20s. It’s shocking and heartbreaking, but the shock mostly comes from the fact that it lived so long and through so much bodily strain that you kind of subconsciously assumed it was immortal.

In amongst the anti-spotify discourse, I've been seeing a tonne of arguments from older bands saying the streaming model in general has been damaging to people's enjoyment of music
I'm not going to get into whether Spotify is evil here, but I viscerally disagree with the notion that easy and cheap access to All The Music* has been in any way bad for music as an artform
There is no generation in history with a broader musical taste than the generations who have grown up with and embraced the streaming model. Without access to a universal library of music, the musical lives of entire generations would be smaller and duller. Romanticising the era of physical media is fine and fun, but someone can record an album in their room and put it on the same global platform as the top-selling artists in the world with no need for a label or corporate contacts, and it can be listened to immediately by anyone in the world... that's the making of an artistic revolution.
Why would you want to go back to a time when people had ten cds? Why would you want to go back to a time when there were financial, locational, temporal boundaries, so many boundaries between you and finding the bands you love that in all likelihood you would never have overcome?
And to make it personal, people would never have found me and my music without the streaming model. So yes, it's a personal cause for me, but not just because I have the accessibility of the streaming model to thank for my livelihood. Almost all of my favourite music from the last ten years is made by acts I would never have found if it wasn't for streaming. That's why I don't romanticise the physical music era - I lived through the end of it, and it was more fraught with elitism and gatekeeping and corruption than the streaming era ever was.
Whether you like Spotify or not is irrelevant. Streaming has democratised the artform and revolutionised independent music.
#I think it's complicated because I agree with my whole chest that open border music is good and fantastic#My music taste would not be as broad as it is without streaming and early access to Napster and Limewire as a kid and then redirecting#to streaming. That is full and complete stop#I think where the problem comes is to a small degree the more algorithmic system wherein you aren't really LOOKING for artists on your own#The 'system' hands you things it thinks you'd like based on all the other things you've consumed and because of it there can be the risk of#an overly homogenized data set you keep getting fed over and over and over and there's a lack of communication amongst peers about taste an#preference and developing your OWN library of sounds or concepts or tastes that you can describe and recommend to others. A lot of people#myself included here I am not free of sin- dont even sit through an entire ALBUM let alone a discography of an artist to really get a feel#for the eras an artist went through- their inspiration and growth and changes over time. As a kid when the era of the CD was around yeah#I bought every SOAD album because I knew I liked them and I listened to them front and back to see which ones I liked and didn't#and could then say 'Ok I probably won't enjoy Cannibal Corpse but I'll for sure enjoy A Perfect Circle'#But now I listen to maybe one song from one artist and then move on from there and it takes an active effort on my part to be like#NO. STOP THAT. GO LISTEN TO THEIR WHOLE ALBUM MAYBE. Then maybe go check out the rest of their works. Form an actual opinion on their vibe#And I think that like- Friction-less consumption coupled with a laser focused tool to keep feeding the consumer nothing challenging#in order to learn more about YOU as a consumer of ARTWORK. THAT is the true problem. Not the open borders but the fuckin rail car those#platforms comfortably lock you into and give you no incentive to leave#and THAT is confused with rose tinted romanticism on the nostalgic past. It's less that the physical CD made you a well rounded listener#It's that your lack of options forced you into being more open to listening and forming an opinion on WHY you liked what you did and WHY no#and that's a skill you have to ACTIVELY maintain now.#WOW OK AHAHA I'LL SEE MYSELF THE FUCK OUT BUT TNC IS RIGHT STREAMING AND ACCESS TO ARTWORK ON THE FLY AND IT'S MASSIVE LIBRARIES ACROSS#EVERY CULTURE AND GENRE AND TIME IS FUCKING GOOD ACTUALLY AND WE SHOULD ALSO REMIND OURSELVES THAT THE PAST WAS NOT BETTER ACTUALLY#OK OK IM LEAVING FOR REAL THIS TIME SORRY AGAIN BYE

Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.
Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.
#I actually ADORE obsidian#It's helped me basically document a decent timeline for the tcoaal chain of events#since there isn't a single reliable author to be seen in that game (delicious) and I needed the ability to quickly refer back to events#Anyways its a FANTASTIC note taking and writing app that I should also use more tbh

i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency
in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion
