you can even do it here for practice! hey, at least 10 people will read it. that's pretty good for music writing these days.
Listen to an album you've never heard by an artist you never listen to and then tell us about it!

I will say, as someone who is currently working on a piece for Aqua Drunkard - and who has written many articles to paywalled websites in my lifetime - it is slightly de-motivating to know that this is going to publish and ... I guess the band won't be able to see it without subscribing? I'm sure far fewer people will read it than would've two weeks ago.
I support the effort fully and think everyone should be paid for their work, for sure. I just can't help but feel a little bit like I'm going to find myself directing some pitches elsewhere. Which is a bummer.

Yep. How many $70 paid substacks plus paid websites can people do although yes writers deserve to get paid

unfortunate
3 weeks ago i interviewed a trans artist, & the power of her voice made me realize the power of my own. this is the piece that got me fired from the fader, bc i believed trans girls deserve nothing less than the cover. please read it & share it if u can. https://t.co/tKWzQRK0ZF— nadine on strike (@FakeNadine) April 17, 2024
you were not โfiredโ you quit after developing a wildly unprofessional parasocial relationship with an artist, who had to have her team intervene after you sent her 100s of text messages ๐๐พand stop posting our emails asking people to โgo stan modeโ itโs beyond embarrassing ๐๐พ๐๐พ https://t.co/C0RXiQ7Kj1— vivian (@perlucidum) April 18, 2024
