It has come to our attention that Curiosity Stream has recently been sending emails to bundle subscribers coming to the end of their subscription. Informing them that they can lock in Nebula bundle deal for two years on resubscription. This is not true. The bundle is ending. If you renewed your bundle subscription in 2023, you’ll continue to have access to Nebula for the remainder of your current annual subscription. After that it's very unlikely that CS will pay Nebula for any ongoing subscriptions. If you want to support Nebula and the creators, the absolute best way to do that is by signing up for a direct subscription. OR EVEN BETTER, if you already have the bundle, unbundle it with the link below

I like the musical Hamilton, but I wouldn't call it hip hop.

<G-Funk beat> It's the Dogg, bark bark and the Impala's parked in the biggest lot in Ontario with TSN blaring out the stereo I'm sipping on a Molson but we don't call them Canadians unless it's the Habs from QC getting snuffed on Palladium

Since September I've been helping @WatchPolyphonic launch and run his TikTok. Today we hit a milestone: first vid to reach a million views! We don't really cross-promote or chase trends, so I'm quite proud of what we're building over there. 😌

NEW YORK (AP) — Jury finds British singer Ed Sheeran's hit song "Thinking Out Loud" didn't copy Marvin Gaye's classic “Let's Get It On.”

I want to say this is the dumbest idea @WatchPolyphonic and I have had, but let's face it - it's top 50% at best.

Dudes rock? The only "dudes" I know who "rock" was a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school. One was named Cyrus, the other was Jeff, and they practised twice a week in Jeff's bedroom.

I deleted this tweet last week cause I didn’t want to rain on the parade, but it’s still bugging me. It’s really fucking sad that De La Soul had to alter their 20+ year-old classic albums for the privilege of making $0.003 per stream

To be fair, if I make a really good sandwich, I'm spending the rest of my life trying to perfectly replicate that one good sandwich

Imagine Tár but instead of all of the Mahler worship they were religiously devoted to the music of John Philip Sousa

I had a really fun time chatting with @12tonevideos and @WatchPolyphonic on their podcast Ghost Notes about the biological origins of rhythm, music and physiology, and what role the 🫀 might play. Listen on @WatchNebula now nebula.tv/ghost-notes/ghost-…

Noah and I just recorded a Ghost Notes episode about AI art and I really wish I'd thought more deeply about this point beforehand. It's a good one.

Jumping in on the annual Spotify discourse, full text in the alt but tl;dr, I pay more money to Spotify and Distrokid annually than I receive in return for sharing my music. I'm especially mad seeing Spotify CEO Daniel Ek run to the aid of Apartheid Mush in today's news.
This is Spotify. Spotify rips off artists. From January 1 - October 31 2022, Melody McKiver had 10970 streams on Spotify. Spotify paid out $34.83163501 US for 10970 streams, before fees paid to Distrokid ($35.99 US annually) for having their music available on streaming services. That works out to $0.00317517 per song. Many independent artists don't even break even on the costs to make their music available on the largest streaming service(s). In contrast, from January 1 - October 31 2022, Melody McKiver sold the equivalent of 382 tracks for a profit of $283.33US at Bandcamp. That's an equivalent of $0.7417 per song. Had all of the Spotify listeners purchased from Bandcamp, Melody McKiver would have made close to $8136.45 instead of $34.83. The image is posted in the format of Spotify's branding, and features Anishinaabe artist Melody McKiver holding a viola in the bottom left corner.
