@theneedledrop And rage

[Tom Vek @Tom_Vek]

You can still be someone who buys one of my songs for $10, just for the f*ck of it

You can call yourself a @supercollector_ when we meet, I'll be impressed

Because a higher value format is a vibe? (I'm not talking fine art, like nice edition vibe)

Are you a music artist selling digital music downloads DIRECT from your own website?

I'm researching something for @Sleevenote. Reply with the link below and let me know how you are doing it (eg stripe + dropbox)

Apple officially discontinued the iPod on my birthday 4 years ago

For a very long time I've had this idea for a music player that felt like a physical copy, and now it's REAL.

[Sleevenote ⬛️ @Sleevenote]

This is what a device looks like that strives to go beyond a music player and actually embody a music release. Only possible with 2020s screen tech. This is Sleevenote. For those that want to hold on to albums.

[Tom Vek @Tom_Vek]

Looks like my third album killed it

[VICE @VICE]

Someone had to do it. Or the squabbling would go on forever.

[Tom Vek @Tom_Vek]

Played at the @southbankcentre last night for @Harry_Styles’ Meltdown, with thanks to @wearenypc for having me

@dgreenstein1 @jamesblake My experience is that typically a fan is connected to an artist via specific songs (and the albums they are on), which is why we double-down on songs-as-membership-badges with @supercollector_. I still believe this is the most viable way to create value for music, in communities.

[Tom Vek @Tom_Vek]

@dgreenstein1 Hey David, just saw the (old) Vault news via Water & Music and feel compelled to point out the original feelings that The Guardian asked me to elaborate on. I was so keen to talk to you and @jamesblake at the time about this. Anyway, we keep building.
