cool, they've systematized "paid in exposure"
Spotify officially announces ‘Discovery Mode.’ In exchange for lower royalty rates, artists can use the program to gain more algorithmic exposure through Spotify Radio and autoplay.

Great story from ⁦@Nat_Whiting⁩ on the often dubious logging & development happening in the upper reaches of the Sepik River, PNG. Complex issues. Incredible landscapes. Really appreciate seeing increased PNG coverage on the ABC. abc.net.au/news/2023-03-09/h…

I dont think you can judge a most 'perfect song of all time', but its certainly right up there. Was a fun task, appreciate the opportunity. (oh, Kermit the Frog and David Boon get a mention) theguardian.com/music/2023/f…

Auspicious moment when @AlboMP addressed PNG parliament last week. Beyond defence & rugby league there was also a welcome (if brief) nod to the value of art & culture. Hopefully there’s room in @Tony_Burke‘s new national cultural policy to expand our Pacific cultural diplomacy

‘Wonderful that @AlboMP addressed the Haus Tambaran in PNG showing the kind of diplomatic respect to our nearest neighbour that has been lacking under previous administrations. Pleasing to see the call to deepen ties in art sport and culture. #auspol #culturaldiplomacy

Raucous reception for Stephanie Lake’s Manifesto tonight @sydney_festival @Carriageworks & rightly so. Lake & co keep surprising & delighting with each new work. And then there’s the music ! @RobinFox01 + 9 drummers = a joy.

The creative and arts industries are invited to complete a survey which will provide a snapshot of arts and culture infrastructure in South Australia. The survey closes on Friday 16 December, so don’t miss your chance to have your say: forms.office.com/r/aHwD0inVX…
Only one in ten headliners at the UK's top music festivals this summer will be women, a BBC study has found. This is despite many events previously promising to achieve a '50/50' gender balance across their line-ups by 2022. bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-6151…

On my first day as Foreign Minister, I want to share some thoughts with our Pacific family. Our region faces unprecedented challenges, but we will face them together. We will achieve our shared aspirations together. And we will listen because we care what the Pacific has to say.

Huddling in a doorway in Soho trying to get a cab home in a torrential downpour, while Lindy Morrison bums a cigarette off the other person huddled in the doorway with us, and can I just say that was quite a nostalgic moment

Musicians are the best experts on their own lives and livelihoods. In music business, technology, and policy discussions, the best way forward is to center musicians’ voices.
