    Welcome to Songstuff, Joao!  Do you write any of the music or lyrics for Van Bloom? What instrument do you play, or  maybe you sing? :)  Checked out the song Puppet.  Nice one.

     

    Nice to have you join in with us.

    Haven't listened to Rogan, even once. May be an *sshole maybe not.  I haven't  "followed" much of Neil or Joni except for their music, may be *ssholes maybe not. Just  not big on shutting speech or conversation down.  But It's a thing going on for the last few years. Just sorry that so many go along with it and artists jumping in or in the lead.  That's not freedom .. it's control.

    Spotify pays fractional cents for artist streams. They collect millions, maybe billions, in revenue. They pay Rogan many millions.... With money they collected from Joni and Neil's streams. 

     

    Joni and Neil and others, walked due to toxicity.

    No problem there with their personal choice to leave.  It was the him or me that was hard to take.

    I really really like Neil and Joni's music.  Have most of Neil's albums and know most of his lyrics.

    Same with Joni, almost.  So much...it was super cool that on a Songstuff lyric critique I received,  there was a comment comparing my lyric to something Joni would write.  Haha..

    But.... I would much rather hope they did this to get some current publicity, even a little vitrue signaling than to believe they thought censoring was a good thing.  Societies throughout time discovered, most often too late, that control by a few is a scary thing.  It's crazy and I wish people would look deeper at what they are asking friends,  family, regulators, elected officials, and companies to do just to keep people from talking about things openly, respectfully or raucous in the appropriate environment.

    Hi Joe,

     

    Welcome to Songstuff.  Congrats on your degree!  Good luck in your networking and with getting some tracks to master for practice.  Sounds like a good exercise to carry out to improve or maintain your skills while not yet working in the industry.

    Neil, Joni and anyone else, if they don't want their  music on Spotify or any platform,  for whatever reason, I support them and I'm fine with them taking a personal stand.  But to want to shut down others based on their opinions is acting like a big baby, or "bullying" or anti-freedom.  Control and censuring and forceful positioning is not good in the long run. 

     

    Neil's opinions are his opinions just as  Eric Clapton's opinions are Eric's.   

     

    I have never listened to Rogan...

    I am not sure why he should be deplatformed for misinformation if the NIH, CDC, Dr. Fauci, medical communities, the WHO, political leaders at all levels of governments, news media across the board are also not deplatformed, fired, or censured for the minute by minute daily misinformation they have been giving out since this virus got unleashed on the world.  Instead of using bribery, lies, threats and censorship I believe an open discussion and conversation would have been a much better option. 

     

    The entertainment Industries whether in music, comedy, movies, sports, advertising, etc have never stopped trying to shape the world.  Problem is many of them think it's their privilege to the exclusion of others with competing ideas.

    Playlists

    in Music Industry

    Posted

    There are several DIY ways to do it, some easier than others but once you're set up and do it a few times it becomes a pretty routine task to include playlists on your release plan's to-do list.  Here's a blog link of one of these that you might find helpful.  I've included DIYMusicians' article  "Pitch Your New Music to Amazon Music’s Playlists".
