Listen to King Gizzard, listen to Deerhoof. Great music :)
So spotify has stolen their music. We have the technology to do anything we want, but someone needs to pay for it. Billionaires are holding us back. Billionaires are choosing not to end hunger or poverty. Remember that: rich people are choosing not to end hunger, homeless, or poverty. In fact, the rich are making it worse.
In the billionaires’ defense; slaves don’t want to do slavery anymore so they need to thin the herd /s
Recently read Spotify is running ads for the USA gestapo.
Fully unsubbed/deleted same day. Hell to the no.
But given the AI imitations that are still invading Release Radar and Discover Weekly playlists, which the company prominently recommends to its users
This is the turbo-shitty part of the whole thing.
Facebook do this as well; they act like they’ve got too many users to police everything that gets uploaded, and you could almost believe them on that, but they sure as fuck have the resources to be able to police what they’re choosing to boost.
They’re choosing not to do that, because The Algorithm is highly tuned around “how many dollars can we make next month” and they’d rather use that as their metric.
I just don’t understand anyone wpuld Listen to an AI knockoff of KG when you can find all of their concerts uploaded by their official bootlegger on the archive.
Did you know that in the US you can copy spotify AI knockoff and sell them ? As it is not human produced, they are not protected by IP laws 🤭
Problem is that because they are not human produced they are worthless.
So gross. I’m not going back to Spotify.
I ditched spotify long time ago. Primarily on bandcamp now. Feels nice being able to stream music without a subscription but still using a platform where the bands/artists get paid fair.
Spotify is an advertising platform, first and foremost. They don’t give a fuck about music or artists.
Or their customers 😅
I used Spotify super early and it’s crazy how anti consumer and musicians they are, or became. Every now and then they smuggled in some ads and every time it was like: omg what a weird glitch. Podcasts, you would still hear their stupid ads. Oh well, then they suddenly injected ads into podcasts, wait, why do i pay for ads now? Seriously they deserve to go under.
I had a few support cases open with them when I open Spotify and get full screen ads about podcast and they spin it all “oh no. That’s not an ad that’s a recommendation!”
I don’t use Spotify for podcasts, full stop, I had how I have to switch it from “all” to “music” on the home page. So dumb.
Kind Gizzard can still drop albums faster than AI.
Have they beaten Buckethead yet?
In 2011, Buckethead began releasing albums in the “Pike” series, mini-albums usually around 30 minutes in length, each with a sequential number similar to a comic book. As of October 2024, Buckethead has released 662 Pike albums, including almost 300 live recordings.
These seem to be him jamming straight onto the record.
Goodness me, not close! King Gizzard are certainly prolific but not on that scale!
Well, at least they can aspire to beat Muslimgauze, who released ninety albums on thirty-two different labels in seventeen years — mostly in the last eight or so — and died at the age of thirty-seven, leaving unreleased material for ninety more records. Alas, the music is rather samey.
Their live shows are basically giant jam sessions with their songs mixed in.
Spotify hates musicians. Bandcamp, Tidal if you need Spotify like service.
I still use Pandora. I know they still lowball artist payments (not as bad as Spotify though) but I’ve never been presented with AI music on there as of yet.
Pandora just repeats the same set of songs over and over and over and over for me. Then you go over to the next radio, plays few popular songs and then the start repeating the ones you liked many moons ago again.
What you are describing is what i like about it. And it introduced new songs often enough for me to not get bored with it.
im on spotify and also have not gotten any AI music. nor have i seen any ads for ICE that i keep hearing about. all im missing is gizz really but that can easily be downloaded. just time consuming due to sheer amount of songs
That is illegal in germany. So i wonder how that now works
If anything, Germany is one country where this would actually be legal…
Wenn das Original bereits veröffentlicht wurde und bei einer Verwertungsgesellschaft wie der GEMA registriert ist, bedarf es keiner Erlaubnis des Urhebers, denn diese verwaltet die Nutzungsrechte der registrierten Künstler. Grundsätzlich ist die GEMA allerdings verpflichtet, jedem, der einen urheberrechtlich geschützten Song nutzen will, diese Rechte einzuräumen.
Gem. § 11 UrhWahrnG unterliegt die GEMA einem Kontrahierungszwang und dies in doppelter Hinsicht: Auf der einen Seite ist die GEMA ihren Mitgliedern verpflichtet, die ihr übertragenen Rechte wahrzunehmen, auf der anderen Seite ist darüber hinaus in der Pflicht, dem Musiknutzer diese Rechte auf Nachfrage gegen Entgelt einzuräumen. Damit ist das das Covern von verschiedenen Musiktiteln größtenteils erlaubt, auch wenn es einigen Künstlern sicherlich nicht gefallen wird.

No. The GEMA lawsuit in November prohibited training ai on music, or use AI to create or distribute music (atleast from how i understood it)
Big if true. All those years of shit because of GEMA and now this. Guess a broken clock and so on…
I mean the broken clock is still wrong in this case. Everyone should be able to pirate anything, the issue so far is that only companies get a free pass while individuals get sued into bankruptcy.
Can you expand on this? Which part, specifically, is illegal? How is it enforced?
I know it doesn’t matter much, but it pleases me that Spotify isn’t getting my money.
Repulsive.
Also, can’t they sue?
I haven’t used spotify for years. I never paid for it. I’ve been buying music (mostly from Bandcamp) and I have no regrets. I try to see bands live when I can, too, and buy a shirt or something.
I literally got recommended this AI band as well. Normally I can search: “X band AI” and I get results whether or not they are real.
All I had were 50 pages about the original band leaving Spotify.
I blocked this suspicious sounding band in-case it was AI. Looks like I was right.
Just as a note: earlier this year I stated I’d keep subscribing to Spotify because the recommendations were worth the cost. I was wrong, and I’m slowly starting my transition away.
