What was Ghostwatch? It was a paranormal investigation broadcast on Halloween night by the BBC. Presented by highly renowned British journalists and famous TV personalities, this ninety minute special horrified eleven million viewers. With disturbing footage of a family besieged by infernal presences, and an ending so shocking it elicited a national outrage, this televised report was without precedent. Because unbeknownst to many who tuned in that fateful All Hallow's Eve, the events of Ghostwatch were entirely fabricated. But was this mockumentary a successful prototype for the found footage horror films to come? Or did the Ghostwatch hoax spark an outbreak of genuine trauma?--Written by Matthew MitchellEdited by Lewis Poggie--Join our Discord server!https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord--Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch!https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch--Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch!http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch--Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster!https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew
podUMENTARY: Music @ Work – 25 Years LaterA TTHTop40 Special Presentation“It just didn't click this time.” – Johnny FayIt was 25 years ago today that The Tragically Hip released Music @ Work—their seventh studio album and possibly their most misunderstood.In this special edition podUMENTARY episode, we're cracking open the vault and unspooling the story of Music @ Workwith help from fans, friends, and a few Hip insiders who were there when it all went down.From behind-the-scenes tension to on-stage experimentation, from Napster leaks to leaky vibes, Music @ Work emerged from a boiling point inside the band—and became a branching-off point for many fans. Some left. Others leaned in. And 25 years later, it's a record we're still reckoning with.We also hear from fans across the continent—those who loved Music @ Work instantly, those who took a 15-year break from it, and those who fell in love (literally) while listening to Lake Fever on an early web stream.Some call it a summer driving record. Others call it Experiments at Work. But almost everyone agrees: it's an album that keeps revealing itself, slowly, steadily, and strangely—especially with time.Next Week on TTHTop40We return to the countdown with Song #19 and a helluva guest, it's our friend Jeff from Bowmanville —don't miss it.Quote“Music @ Work probably should have been called Experiments at Work—because that's what it felt like.” – Listener submissionAbout This SpecialpodUMENTARY: Music @ Work – 25 Years Later is a one-off documentary-style episode of The Tragically Hip Top Forty Countdown created by jD and the team at Dewvre Podcasts & Such. It's a sonic tribute to a polarizing Hip record, made with the help of fans, Hip historians, and audio from the band themselves.Get Involved
What is Birds Aren't Real? It's a satirical conspiracy theory designed to poke fun at legitimate conspiracies, spearheaded by Peter McIndoe. Since 2017, it's gained a massive online following, with plenty of people getting in on the joke while others harassed the founder.

Send us a textEver wonder what happens when theatrical magic collides with punk rock energy? Sasha Mereu embodies this fascinating intersection as the self-styled "punk rock Willy Wonka" - and he's on a mission to transform how musicians earn a living.Sasha takes us on a captivating journey through his remarkable career spanning over 1,000 stages worldwide, including a Broadway run in 2016 with "The Illusionists: Turn of the Century" - which became Broadway's highest-grossing magic show. His performances blend theatrical elements with musical prowess, creating an electric, unpredictable energy that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Rather than avoiding eye contact like many musicians, Sasha dives into crowds, creating personal connections and sometimes conjuring balloon animals out of thin air.Beyond his performances, Sasha delivers a compelling analysis of how the music industry fundamentally changed with Napster and subsequent streaming platforms. The traditional model of recording albums, touring, and selling physical copies has collapsed, leaving most musicians struggling to earn living wages. His response? Co-founding Fairvu, a benefit corporation building a digital platform that enables musicians to livestream concerts with virtual ticket sales, store media on-demand, and sell merchandise - all while keeping 90% of their earnings.What makes Fairview unique isn't just its artist-friendly economics but its structure as a benefit corporation balancing profit with community benefits and complete transparency. Rather than seeking large investors, they're taking a grassroots approach by asking musicians to contribute just $5 each to build the platform together.Whether you're a musician feeling the squeeze of streaming economics, a fan wanting to better support artists you love, or simply fascinated by creative entrepreneurs tackling industry-wide challenges - Sasha's insights offer a refreshing perspective on creating sustainable artistic careers in the digital age.

Damian Kulash of OK Go discusses his evolution from punk music fan, working with Dischord records, and creating boundary-pushing music, vinyl packaging and viral videos Topics Include: New album "And The Adjacent Possible" available for streaming now. Discussion about physical media's role in OK Go's output. OK Go primarily known for videos that "live in the ether." Damian was into physical record packaging during college years. First record was Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," bought at Tower Records. Young Damian damaged the record trying to scratch like DJ. Later played with Herbie Hancock at Obama's 50th birthday party. Musical journey from hip-hop through Prince, Beatles, Led Zeppelin. DC punk scene was influential, with bands playing in cafeterias. Started Level Records at age 15,with funding from Dischord Records. Ian MacKaye lent teenager Damian money to start label. Level Records produced 7-inches and compilation CDs for friends' bands. College made running a record label difficult for Damian. Studied art semiotics at Brown University. Worked as NPR radio engineer and Photoshop retoucher after college. Indifferent to Napster's rise during OK Go's early days. Band finances operated like "roadrunner off the cliff" cartoon. Discussion about gift economy model working for the band. Belief that making things you love matters most, not success. Music sometimes gets overshadowed by video's visual impact. Videos gave OK Go longevity beyond typical radio-hit bands. New album theme explores Stuart Kaufman's "adjacent possible" concept. OK Go doesn't have unified sound; band is "like a mixtape." Treadmill video was originally made for "nerdiest fans" only. Videos aim to create real events that connect with viewers. Physical pressings of OK Go albums are costly in secondary market. New vinyl features elaborate pop-up sphere in custom packaging. Hidden track on second album deliberately blocked copy-protection software. Record label "Paracadute" means parachute in Italian. Ten-year album gap wasn't intentional; life and pandemic happened. Directed "The Beanie Bubble" film with his wife for Apple. Film directing different from making music videos; less adrenaline-driven. Video production typically takes 3-6 months from concept to completion. Some video ideas abandoned when technology made them commonplace.

What was HQ Trivia? It was a once popular and highly controversial game app that allowed its users to win actual cash.

Copyright conflicts are reshaping the music industry's future while echoing its tumultuous past. The narrative begins with Napster's surprising $207 million acquisition by Infinite Reality in 2025 – a remarkable comeback for a platform that once symbolized music piracy. Now legally compliant and metaverse-ready, Napster's journey reflects how thoroughly digital disruption has transformed the industry.The high-stakes battle between Sony Music and Cox Communications stands as potentially the most consequential case for digital copyright enforcement. After a jury originally awarded record labels an unprecedented $1 billion judgment against the internet service provider for subscriber piracy, appeals and potential Supreme Court intervention have put the music industry on edge. The final ruling could fundamentally redefine how platforms handle copyright infringement across the digital landscape.Artist-centered conflicts reveal the deeply personal dimensions of music copyright. Taylor Swift's methodical re-recording strategy turned a contractual nightmare into a cultural movement, with each "Taylor's Version" release becoming a chart-topping event while rendering the original masters increasingly irrelevant. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran defended his creative process by playing guitar in court, successfully arguing that basic chord progressions remain in the public domain despite their similarity to Marvin Gaye classics.Cultural tensions surround sampling disputes worldwide. From Beyoncé's "Break My Soul" facing claims from New Orleans bounce artists to Adele's "Million Years Ago" being removed from Brazilian platforms over alleged samba appropriation, these cases highlight how global hits can spark local controversies. Most dramatically, the lawsuit over reggaeton's foundational "Dembow" rhythm threatens to destabilize an entire genre's legal foundation.Artificial intelligence represents the industry's next frontier of copyright challenges. Major labels have united against AI companies training models on copyrighted catalogs without permission – essentially creating the capacity to generate songs in famous artists' styles without consent or compensation. The resolution of these cases will determine whether AI becomes a creative tool or an existential threat to traditional music creation.Want to understand how intellectual property shapes the music you love?

Yes, Napster is still alive and kicking. The peer-to-peer file-sharing company that became synonymous with music piracy in the early 2000s was bought by a company called Infinite Reality Labs last week for about $207 million. It’s the latest in a string of attempts to revive the brand. After it was shut down by the courts in 2001 and declared bankruptcy, Napster returned as a music subscription service, a marketplace for non-fungible tokens and now a virtual reality-metaverse destination. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Harry McCracken, global technology editor at Fast Company, who has been following Napster from the beginning. He says the brand still has some power.

Today's Headlines: "Group Chatgate" just got even messier—The Atlantic dropped more screenshots proving top U.S. officials were sharing classified military plans in a massive Signal chat, despite their sworn Senate testimony denying it. Now, a top GOP senator is demanding an urgent investigation. Meanwhile, a German news outlet revealed that Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and Mike Waltz's personal emails, phone numbers, and even passwords were easily found online—linked to everything from LinkedIn to their workout apps. Over at the Supreme Court, justices voted 7-2 to uphold Biden-era ghost gun regulations, a major win for law enforcement as crime scenes flooded with untraceable firearms in recent years. In the finance world, Trump's family-backed World Liberty Financial just launched its own stablecoin, USD1, pegged to the U.S. dollar. Fidelity is also jumping into the stablecoin game, currently testing its own version to act as cash in crypto markets. And finally, here's a headline nobody expected. Napster, the once-infamous music piracy platform just sold for $207 million and is being transformed into a streaming and social music platform.
