TO EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING WHERE MY MUSIC WENT, WHY RANDOM ALBUMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN AND WHEN IT’S COMING BACK TO DSPS, I WISH THE DISTRIBUTERS WHO REMOVED IT WERE AS INTERESTED IN ANSWERING THAT QUESTION AS YOU ALL ARE ASKING IT.
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS DISTRIBUTORS HAVE TAKEN DOWN RECORDS IV'E MADE AND RELEASED YEARS BEFORE AI WAS EVEN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL THOSE RECORDS CLEARLY HAVE RELEASE DATES, APPARENTLY THE PEOPLE REVIEWING THEM DON’T CARE OR HAVE THE TIME TO DIFFERENTIATE.
I’VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WORKING NON-STOP & BUILDING THIS CATALOG AND AT THIS POINT TO MUCH TIME HAS BEEN WASTED MONTHS WAITING FOR ANSWERS. MY LOVE FOR MY MUSIC AND THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO LISTENS AND SUPPORTS DESERVES MORE.
IT’S EXHAUSTING TO HAVE YOUR WORK TAKEN FROM YOU THEN BE EXPECTED TO POLITELY WAIT FOR ACCESS TO IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR NOT A BIG ARTIST & HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE COMPANIES GIVING US PENNIES AND ARE STILL GETTING DECIDING WHETHER YOUR MUSIC BELONGS ON THEIR PLATFORMS WHEN WE THE ARTISTS ARE WHAT THEIR BUSINESS IS BUILT ON.
I CAN’T GIVE YOU A DATE FOR WHEN THEY’LL GET BACK TO ME BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LISTEN.
BUILT MY OWN DSP.
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER MADE TILL NOW AND ALL FUTURE RELEASES, REMASTERED BY ME IS LIVE NOW. THE APP IS AVAILABLE ON IOS NEW UPDATES, BUILDS & ANDROID VERSION IS COMING SOON.
THANK YOU FOR STILL ASKING WHERE THE MUSIC IS. I INTEND TO KEEP THE ANSWER IN MY OWN HANDS.
JOIN THE DISCORD GET UPDATES AND LATEST VERSIONS OF THE APP BC APPLE TAKES TO LONG TO PUSH UPDATES SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAKING APPS.
私の音楽がどこへ行ったのか」「なぜランダムなアルバムが削除されたのか」「いつDSPに戻ってくるのか」と繰り返し尋ねてくださる皆さんへ。削除したディストリビューターたちが、皆さんがその質問を投げかけるのと同じくらい、その答えに興味を持ってくれたらいいのにと思います。
ここ数ヶ月、ディストリビューターたちは、AIが一般に公開される何年も前に私が制作・リリースしたレコードを削除してきました。それらのレコードにはすべて明確なリリース日が記載されていますが、審査担当者はそれを気にも留めていないか、区別する時間すらないようです。
私はこのカタログを構築するために、数え切れないほどの時間と眠れない夜を費やし、休むことなく働き続けてきました。しかし、この時点で、回答を待つために数ヶ月もの時間が無駄に費やされてしまいました。私の音楽への愛、そして私の音楽を聴き、支えてくださるすべての方々への敬意は、それ以上の扱いに値するはずです。
自分の作品を奪われた挙句、その作品へのアクセス権を得るために礼儀正しく待たされるのは、本当に疲れることです。特に、大物アーティストでもないのに、こうした企業からわずかな報酬しか受け取れず、しかも「自分の音楽が彼らのプラットフォームにふさわしいか」という判断をまだ下している最中であるのは、本当に疲れる。私たちアーティストこそが、彼らのビジネスの基盤なのだから。
彼らがいつ返答してくれるか、具体的な日程は言えませんが、代わりに聴ける場所を一つご紹介します。
独自のDSPを構築しました。
これまでに制作したすべての楽曲と、今後リリースされるすべての楽曲(私がリマスターしたバージョン)が、現在公開されています。アプリはiOS版で利用可能で、新しいアップデートやビルドが提供されています。Android版も近日中にリリース予定です。
「音楽はどこにあるの?」と今も尋ねてくれてありがとう。その答えは、今後も私自身が握り続けるつもりです。
Discordに参加して、アプリの最新情報や最新バージョンを入手してください。アプリを作っている人が多すぎて、Appleのアップデート配信には時間がかかりすぎるからです。

“strawberry bubblegum” should be higher on this list, “until the end of time” should be number 1 imo, and how is “like i love you” not on this list?!

I still stand by my take that Muggsy has maybe the most impressive NBA career of all time. First round pick at 5’3, playing that long in a time when the league was very physical. You’ll never see someone his size in the nba again, let alone a 1st round pick.
Muggsy Bogues breaks down in tears during the press conference about his upcoming Charlotte @hornets jersey retirement.
Muggsy reflected on the support from his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland and Dunbar High School after the announcement of his honor.

Open the museums at night and serve wine, play classical and jazz music and let the adults to have a night out that isn’t in a club.
I watched this whole video waiting for him to get to the one point of discussion that needs to be addressed the most about AI as an artist. The one thing that would tell me this is truly a creative adapting to the situation and not just another producer happy to have a smaller workload.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a producer celebrating an easier workload. And hey, I don’t even disagree. I dabble in editing. Hell I went to school partially for it (digital art, design, and digital media production). It’s tedious as hell even if you’re good at it. A lot of it COULD be automated and that’s great. But when you completely remove or replace the human input beyond a basic prompt and some follow-ups, that’s where you lose me. Same for AI tools on other art.
The one point for which there’s no answer:
What happens when these clever algorithms trained on existing works of human creativity and ingenuity has nothing new or innovative to work from, just the same regurgitated source material on endless repeat?
People with weak appreciation or respect for the creative side don’t care. It’s all about the workload. They spend most of their time following trends and formulas anyway, putting out the same basic cut-up subtitled YouTube content to pay the bills. Artists and creatives truly invested in the art form see the dead end on the horizon. And that’s what we need to turn away from.
Again, tools are great. I’ve used ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code, Gemini, and AI assisted tools in Photoshop for mundane tedious shit. But when you go from tools helping you work to celebrating being able to kick your feet up and letting the robot generate it all or do it all for you, just copying existing work, brother you’ve lost the plot.

Interesting take on why so much of Gen Z is unfamiliar with the pop culture that preceded them compared to millennials. I had a similar conclusion but had never heard it articulated

AI generated content is quickly going to be understood to be an industrialized commodity rather than the fun new toy. Craft and human production is going to have more and more value. Made by hand is modern luxury (and always was).

What a disaster
Ramona Shelburne on what could happen if the WNBA title is won on Thursday:
"That celebration may not actually be on that court. I've heard there are discussions about whether there's enough time to turn the arena over in time for the fans to celebrate on the court. It could be moved to a practice court"
Unreal man smh

Waking up at 5 AM is a total cheat code for time. By 10 AM, you’ve already lived three full lives, conquered your to-do list, and earned the right to a midday nap.
