"Eamonn Forde argues that despite a recent report glowing with enthusiasm for the major record label bottom line, hubris, greed and fan exploitation suggest it is heading for another catastrophic fall"

Our film “No Other Land” on occupied Masafer Yatta’s brutal expulsion won best documentary in Berlinale. Israel’s channel 11 aired this 30 second segment from my speech, insanely called it “anti semitic” - and I’ve been receiving death threats since. I stand behind every word.

Congratulations to Sooper Records!

Is this the enshittification of culture? https://t.co/HsSTkKhTDW

[Ted Gioia @tedgioia]

Every year, I publish a State of Culture report. This year something disturbing is happening.

I used to worry about the trade-off between art and entertainment—but now a third option threatens to overwhelm both.

Can you even imagine what it means to sing the lyrics to "Both Sides Now" when you're in your eighties? That song has always held so much wisdom, and now it feels even weightier. https://t.co/yNVg7CJ6NG

Pitchfork is losing actual legends with these layoffs, people whose work is a treasure trove of criticism and insight that's changed how I view music, both as a fan and a writer. To honor their last day, here are my favorite pieces by everyone:

[Sooper Records @sooperrecords]

Pour one out for a great label, run by great people, who put out great records.

[wet ass proleterian 🇵🇸 @FootworkMonitor]

it’s not called drum & bass unless it comes from the drum & bass region of amen, otherwise it's just a sparkling jungle
