Literally the only thing I've been thinking about for the last few days after having been asked why my music isn't on Spotify several times in the last few weeks. People have always looked at me with perplexity when I've explained that I object to the streaming service business model on ethical grounds but I have noticed that more people, (mostly musicians), agree with me nowadays and are starting to get wise. I plan to use the paywalled subscription approach here on SubStack to distribute my music directly to fans, with the hope of building a modest but loyal audience of monthly listeners who are happy to pay a few quid to have access my music. Fogchaser already makes a living by distributing his music on SubStack using this model.

I'm currently working on creating enough ‘content’ (bleurgh) to launch the page soon. I think that could be an avenue lots of musicians will take now. Boycott Spotify.

I just systematically flush every things related to Spotify. Just the name of it makes me sea-sic. This is as Far as it can gets from why I love music.
