Send us a textHoly shit, we've been waiting for 5 years to have this conversation! We first heard about The 40-Year-Old Version at Sundance 2020, and we knew that we would one day interview the writer/director/star Radha Blank. And it was worth the wait!The 40-Year Old Version follows a down-on-her-luck NY playwright who reinvents herself as a rapper in an attempt to breakthrough and find her true voice. Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles was having a special screening of the film to celebrate its legacy and ongoing resonance. Radha joins us virtually from the event to share how she refuses to let age be a factor in her career, the struggle as an independent artist to maintain your integrity, her decision to shoot in black and white, and which famous director's career she'd like to emulate.Watch The 40-Year-Old Version on NetflixFollow director/writer/actor Radha Blank on IGFollow Vidiots Foundation on IG Support the showThanks for listening and for your support!

Spotify is using weird rules to fine and de-platform independent artists from its service — are these honest mistakes or is something more nefarious going on? Last week, Andrew's band, One Hundred Thousand, got a notice from its distributor that one song from its 2021 album was flagged for “bot activity” and that the entire album was therefore being removed from Spotify, and all other digital streaming services as a penalty. No one at Spotify appears to be concerned enough to respond to our requests for help and there is no apparent appeals process for artists who say they had nothing to do with the alleged bots. OHT is not alone. A number of independent artists are complaining that the world's largest digital streaming music platform is throttling them for “bot activity” on their catalogs, removing their music and charging them bogus penalties. Reddit is filling up with threads on the subject, and Spotify's silence is only fueling belief that this is part of the company's strategy to gradually replace independent music with A.I.-generated slop to reduce royalty payouts and bolster its profits. Please share your thoughts with us via Instagram @AtFirstListenPodcast. Subscribe so you don't miss an episode of At First Listen!

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I reconnect with my old Belmont University neighbor and longtime friend, Jeremy Casella. Jeremy and I first met on the third floor of Pembroke Hall, and after nearly 30 years, it was a joy to sit down and trace the threads of music, friendship, and life that still connect us today.Jeremy shares stories from his early days at Belmont, discovering artists like Béla Fleck and Brooks Williams, and crossing paths with classmates like Brad Paisley, while reflecting on how those formative years in Nashville shaped his career as a songwriter and performer. We talk about the folk scene of the early '90s, the influence of Phil Keaggy (who has since become a close friend and collaborator), and the ways great music can inspire new creativity rather than imitation.Our conversation also dives deep into the balance of being both a musician and a family man, and how perspective shifts as you approach 50. Jeremy opens up about what it means to leave a legacy through music, including his upcoming Christmas project, and how producing other artists has become an equally rewarding part of his creative journey.Along the way, we touch on coffee rituals, songwriting discipline, the craft of production, and the inspiration of producers like Daniel Lanois. This is a rich, heartfelt conversation with a friend who embodies both authenticity and artistry.Music from the Episode:Autumn in Kingston Springs (Jeremy Casella)Beauty Leads the Way (Jeremy Casella)Love That Will Not Let Me Go (Jeremy Casella featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama)On the Evening Train (Jeremy Casella)To learn more about Jeremy, visit his website.

​In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al., the defendants have submitted a memorandum opposing the plaintiff's motion to proceed anonymously. They argue that the plaintiff has not sufficiently demonstrated the need for anonymity, as required by the factors established in Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant. The defendants contend that the plaintiff's claims, while sensitive, do not involve matters that typically warrant anonymity, such as challenging governmental actions or involving minors.They also assert that there is no substantial risk of physical retaliation or mental harm to the plaintiff if her identity is disclosed. Furthermore, they highlight that the plaintiff's identity has not been kept confidential, pointing to prior public disclosures related to the case. The defendants emphasize that allowing the plaintiff to remain anonymous would prejudice their ability to defend themselves, as it hampers the investigation and gathering of evidence. They also argue that the public has a legitimate interest in open judicial proceedings, which includes knowing the identities of the parties involved. In conclusion, the defendants request that the court deny the plaintiff's motion for anonymity, asserting that the balance of factors weighs against permitting her to proceed under a pseudonym.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.630375.54.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

This episode delves into the intricate dynamics of transitioning from independent artist management to operating within the confines of a larger agency, elucidating how such a shift can diminish one's initial passion for the craft. We explore the journey of an artist who, while initially motivated by a desire to foster and promote musical talent, found that the structural limitations of a corporate environment stifled creativity and personal connection. The discussion further emphasizes the paramount importance of understanding the business aspects of the music industry, positing that knowledge in this realm is essential for artists to safeguard their interests and navigate the complexities of their careers. We advocate for musicians to cultivate their unique identities, rather than merely being perceived through the lens of their collaborations with established artists. This episode serves as a compelling reminder that while technical skills are crucial, the necessity of strategic self-promotion and market understanding cannot be overstated in the pursuit of artistic success.Takeaways: The transition from managing artists independently to working within a larger agency can significantly alter one's passion for the music industry. A profound understanding of the business side of music is essential for musicians to avoid exploitation and foster their careers effectively. Emerging musicians should prioritize developing their unique identity rather than solely being recognized through associations with established artists. It is imperative for artists to cultivate their own following and market presence before seeking managerial assistance to ensure sustainable growth. Learning how to strategically promote oneself is crucial; merely releasing music is insufficient without a comprehensive marketing approach. Incorporating personal creativity into business practices can lead to fulfilling careers that resonate with one's true artistic identity.

This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller cruise their way into a murder mansion fever dream with Jake Nickell and Lance Curran, two of the minds behind Threadless—the Chicago-based t-shirt empire that helped invent crowdsourced artwear before we'd marketed terms like “creator economy” or “drop ship.” What begins as a nostalgia trip (setting the stage for how the business developed through DIY screenprinting and forum culture) quickly becomes a deep dive into ethics, art careers, AI disruption, licensing chaos, and why having your work sold in Hot Topic definitely still counts as making it. We unpack: The founding of Threadless on a secret art/code forum Shifting from screen printing to digital on-demand Working with artists, bands, and comic book creators Parody vs. IP theft (and WTF the DMCA is) Building safety and anti-hate moderation into a global platform Why Chicago still rules And why Punch Nazis continues to be a top seller Along the way, we also discuss vending machines, Karl Marx, Cheetos, the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference, and what happens when art school turns into a startup. And, importantly, how capitalism can be leveraged using Foucauldian power for artists—rather than for their subjugation. Jake Nickell is the founder of Threadless, and a pioneer in crowdsourced design and artist-first merchandise models. He started Threadless in 2000 while still in art school. Lance Curran is the VIP Accounts Director at Threadless, a longtime champion of artist partnerships, muralist collaborations, and weird comic book projects. He joined the company in 2005 and once described the warehouse as “the Foot Clan layer from Ninja Turtles.” Names Dropped: Jake Nickell Lance Curran Threadless Tony Moore The Walking Dead Hot Topic Hope for the Day The Trevor Project Redbox Columbia College Chicago Four Seasons Total Landscaping Nathan Fielder Disney Warner Bros.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Inside The Mix, host Marc Matthews engages in a profound conversation with Tyler Lyle, the singer-songwriter and one-half of the synthwave duo, The Midnight. Tyler delves into the enigmatic nature of songwriting, describing it as "a well-narrated hallucination," and likens the creative process to "trying to start a truck sitting on a block of ice." Drawing from his folk storytelling roots, Tyler shares how he seamlessly integrates evocative lyrics into The Midnight's nostalgic synth-driven soundscapes. He contrasts the tangible aspects of music production with the abstract challenges of lyric writing, emphasizing the importance of consistent dedication—what he refers to as the "ass-in-chair method." This disciplined approach involves daily studio sessions from 10 am to 5 pm, complemented by morning routines of journaling, exercise, and meditation to foster creativity.The synergy between Tyler and his production partner, Tim McEwan, is highlighted as a harmonious blend of prolific idea generation and meticulous refinement. Despite geographical distances, they prioritize periodic in-person collaborations to capture the irreplaceable energy of shared creative spaces.Much of the discussion centers on Tyler's transition from confessional songwriting to crafting lyrics rich in archetypes and universal symbols. Inspired by Carl Jung's philosophies, he aims to create a shared mythological space within The Midnight's music, allowing listeners to project their meanings onto the imagery. What You'll Learn:The abstract nature of lyric writing and strategies to overcome creative challenges.The importance of consistent routines in fostering creativity.Balancing prolific idea generation with meticulous refinement in collaborative settings.The role of archetypes and universal symbols in crafting resonant lyrics.Insights into blending folk storytelling with synthwave aesthetics.For aspiring artists, Tyler emphasizes creating work that embodies truth and necessity, encouraging authentic expression over external validation. He reminds creatives that they are conduits, "ferrying ideas from one realm to this one," and underscores the significance of producing art that resonates fundamentally.Join Marc and Tyler as they explore the depths of the songwriting process, offering invaluable insights for independent music producers and artists seeking to elevate their craft.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow Tyler Lyle Support the showDownload your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Follow Marc Matthews' Socials:Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!
