 | Since this humble publication is written and read by musicians, I imagine you probably have your fair share of music-related podcasts that you listen to on a more-than-occasional basis. I know I do. And in listening to podcasts about gear and tech, the publishing side of the industry, and especially personal conversations with artists about how they got into music or what recording their recent album was like, I’ve begun to notice a common thread that has weaved itself into these conversations. Without specifically mentioning it, they all add a bit of commentary to the endless discussion of how the internet has changed how we make music.

 | Have you ever splurged on concert tickets to see your favorite singer perform live only to find out that your friend who lives across the country paid a lot less for the same seats in their hometown? It might sound unfair but it’s actually something that happens all the time. In fact, ticket prices for a concert by the same artist within the same tour could differ immensely from city to city due to various factors such as venue fees, accommodation costs, purchasing power of the region, and public interest.

 | Imagine a world where artists don’t have to worry about royalty checks. It’s just automatic, and perfectly tracked. Artists wouldn’t have to sue Spotify multiple times to get paid. Small businesses, including venues, bars, and restaurants, wouldn’t have to worry about harassment from performance rights organizations. And, content creators would get their fair share, every time.

 | Singer-songwriter Milck saw her song Quiet spread far and wide following the Women’s March in Washington D.C. a year ago, when tens of thousands of incensed women embraced the tune as an anthem and call to action. Now, in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment and assault against prominent Hollywood power players, Milck — herself a survivor of sexual assault — is releasing a new version of “Quiet” featuring vocals by real-life survivors.
