The AI industry demands their theft be permitted.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

The mighty @troubleinmind.bsky.social is shutting down operations so I spent some time writing about five of my favorite songs from their sprawling catalog of hits, as well as a few other assorted cool songs I listened to last month.

Sad to be informed by Nate on @wfmu.bsky.social that @troubleinmind.bsky.social ceased operations in Sept.

They were a nurturer, taste and scene maker who will be sorely missed. Really, a vanguard of and for interesting, new, cool American music.

Pour one out.

If your label is home to bands as amazing and varied as the Tubs, En Attendant Ana, the Serfs, FACS, Sunwatchers, Dummy, Nightshift, Martin Frawley, the Mountain Movers, etc. and you can’t make/have to shut down it really says something about how low we’ve sunk as a culture. RIP Trouble in Mind.

RIP Trouble In Mind, one of the best labels run by some of the nicest people in this business they call show.

My incredibly low opinion of the music industry was slightly parlayed by the continuing presence of great DIY labels like Trouble in Mind. Sad to see them go, but glad they fought the good fight as long as they could. Listening to the Jonas Reinhardt tape they released as I type this.

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

This was a lovely post courtesy of Atonal: “…a beacon of independent music thanks to an eclectic and bold curation” 😭

Tras años de actividad, Trouble In Mind Records cierra como sello activo. Fundado en Chicago por Bill y Lisa Roe, fue hogar de Jacco Gardner, Melenas o The Limiñanas. Su catálogo seguirá vivo, recordando que lo independiente también puede ser esencial.

The Tubs released a new LP, Cotton Crown, via @troubleinmind.bsky.social. Here is our review: "Stylistically, it pushes no boundaries; sonically, the band play it strong and straightforward. What could be viewed as a flaw is, in truth, an asset." www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/cott...
