#190 - Streaming in the Dark | “Bangers & Mashups” Part VI | Collabs We Love
Last week Nick ditched his planned topic to discuss a new band, so this week he’s circling back. “Streaming in the Dark: Where Music Listeners’ Money Goes—and Doesn’t” by Meredith Rose was released as a whitepaper by the think-tank Public Knowledge and it deals, entirely, with the reasons we don’t and can’t find out what artists are making through streaming services. It’s dense, comprehensive and difficult to summarize in a quick segment. Checkout Meredith on “Money For Nothing” or read the whitepaper over on Public Knowledge for more details.
Song: Yves Tumor - “Fear Evil Like Fire”
Greg is back with part 6 of his 38 part series “Bangers and Mashups”. This week we stay and steep in the latest DJ Cummerbund compositions. Apparently he won an MTV Music Award last year, and absolutely deserved it!
DJ Cummerbund - “The Anti-Hero That I Get”
DJ Cummerbund - “That’s The Holy Diver”
DJ Cummerbund - “Crazy Together”
Two years ago, in the thick of the pandemic, Jay was sharing some favorite YouTube channels by artists with a lot of time on their hands. American session guitarist Tom Bukovac’s Homeschoolin’ series was among his favorites. At the time, Bukovac announced that he was working with Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots anyone?) on a project. It turns out that project was released last year, but we’re listening to it this week. Naturally this led Jay to ask the guys for a list of their favorite collaborations, and that’s what we’ve got!
