I love being a musician. It has taken me to places - literally - I would have never seen.
Today's stage is about 100' from a drag racing strip. Soundcheck will suck, but this is funnier than hell!
...... & another thing that pissed me off today in the music world.... Warner Music (who now controls David Bowie's catalog) can suffer a debilitating knee injury for allowing "Rebel, Rebel" to be used in the latest Bro-Country bullshit boot-scoot boondoggle of a song, "Young Love & Saturday Nights," by Chris Young. FM! As if that theme was worn down enough, they used the riff and melody from Bowie's classic. I'm sure proper writing credit was given, but it's another example of how today's MALE COUNTRY ARTISTS are lazy AF. Only the women are pushing the genre forward. As a lover of Bowie's work and vision, he would have probably said yes if he was still alive, but the laziness displayed by this "artist" fucking pisses me off. Oye. What a tool.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is another example of how Spotify is fucking over #songwriters, and why #NOSTR, #RSS and #Value4Value are going to change the industry.

Episode 20 of the Phantom Power Music Review is up! Can't believe I actually reviewed a song written in AI. ;) Hope you enjoy my take on tracks from #AnaTreacle, #LazyMusic & @Nate Johnivan . Enjoy!
Chill, baby. I just dropped another Phantom Power Music Hour.
#Value4Value
This is a good mix for a walk, that big project that you need to focus an hour on, or a nice long walk. #Chill
The Trusted join me for this week's edition of the Phantom Power Music Hour. We discuss their background, Social Media, getting paid in #Bitcoin, and why lead singers are basically just neon signs. ;) Enjoy! @The Trusted
Episode 23 of the Phantom Power Music Hour is up! World Debut from #TheTrusted @TheTrusted, and ValueVerse debuts from @ARREIS and @Jack Phemister . We're also joined by #TheRetrograde, @12 Rods , #Herbivore, #JessicaLynneWitty, #Epixode, #DrawingMonsters, #BadStrangers, #CoryOwens, #TJWong, and more! @The ₿udtender@Nate Johnivan
Holy crap is this band great! Check out #The Retrograde, out of #Tallahassee, FL. Saw them tonight in #Nashville at The Basement. Solid #powertrio, with influences of The Doors, Zep and a hint of Buddy Rich (thanks to their drummer). Solid. Solid. Solid.
Just testing my Coracle.social pwa Android download. Hope everyone is having a swell, peachy keen day. Go listen to Slayer or John Coltrane if you're having a bad day. ;)
@jackphemister is a bit of a musical misanthrope. His music is a direct reflection of how people view his art, and he's not afraid to completely change directions on you. He's folk. He's punk. He's art for art's sake. And, he's thrilled that he's made more in Bitcoin with 3 songs in the "ValueVerse, than he has with two albums on Spotify. I hope you'll check out this fun interview with a native of Yass, NSW, Australia. #music #melbourne #songwriter #interview #value4value
