In the evolving landscape of music streaming, Spotify has emerged as a colossal player, often touted as an ally to artists in their journey towards global recognition and financial sustainability. However, a recent investigation by Music Business Worldwide unveils a more complex narrative, spotlighting the platform's entanglement with deceptive practices that question its artist-friendly facade.

After spending several months strolling through the streets of WEB3 in Lens Protocol City, I've gotten to know its nooks and crannies. I've also met some pretty cool people from this city. The music scene is still not strong, but the introduction of the new circulating currency $BONSAI might just kick things into gear!

Do you often hear the statement 'Back in the day, those were real vinyl records, not like what we have now'? I do. Beneath a layer of grumbling, there's a grain of truth in it. Recording technologies and sound production have changed very quickly and dynamically. Today, vinyl records sound different than they used to – which doesn't mean they're worse or better. Just different.

"Vinyl Book" (POLVINYL, 2022), my labour of love, was written in 2019 as the culmination of an ardent writing . The book is in Polish only. It was officially published in the twilight of 2022. The intention to produce its English equivalent remained in my plans, but time, that elusive artist, always seemed to paint my hours with other commitments. Combining my enthusiasm for the written word with the soulful world of vinyl, I decided to embark on a journey to present extensive excerpts from my book, translated by hand. In this endeavour, I am accompanied by Chat GPT, my digital companion, whose command of the English language surpasses my own. I look forward to your insights, not only on the narrative, but also on the nuances of its translation. So, dear reader, I extend an invitation to you - immerse yourself in these pages. Let's embark on this vinyl odyssey together. Enjoy!

Is music valueless? Just yesterday, I had an extensive conversation with a producer and publisher from L.A. The topic? Naturally, it revolved around vinyl pressing and the concept of 'digital vinyl' and NFTs. A striking statement emerged during our discussion: 'Today, music holds no value.' He further added that it's merely 'marketing fuel for tech platforms.' This is something I've been talking about for a while. There's a difference between having suspicions and receiving confirmation from someone who works daily with Bootsy Collins.
