Longtime P&P contributor Jon Tanners (who some of you might remember from his “5 On It” column) is back with some thoughts on gatekeepers, tastemakers, and the increasingly compromised algorithms shaping what music breaks through.
If algorithms can be manipulated by the right budgets and marketing tactics, what does that mean for the idea of democratized music discovery? Was it ever really democratized at all?
Tanners makes the case that gatekeepers may still be a necessary part of the ecosystem, whether we like it or not.

In 2017, I wrote a long-form feature about why Greg Popovich might be the greatest coach in NBA history and as he announces his retirement from the sidelines, it seems clear that no one can match his longevity, impact and legacy.
Salute the legend. https://t.co/3DomSScpEr
Earlier this week, I was a guest on Jon Tanners' Where Do We Go From Here? podcast. We discussed the genesis of @DJBooth and @Audiomack, the importance of music business education, and how to deal with Angry Reply Guys on social media. Have a listen!
hopped on my favorite music industry podcast and had a conversation with my friend Jon Tanners about the modern "indie" music landscape and where @_OverEverything fits into it.

DJ DAHI really has some of the most influential tracks of the last decade under his belt but barely anyone talks about it. So since no one else will, I’ll give him his flowers 💐 👇🏾
