@gshevlin I think the model could be viable, but corporate greed often gets in the way and the desire to grow profits/company value is prioritised over basically everything

Spotify pulls out of Uruguay now that copyright laws have been changed to require “equitable remuneration” for artists.” https://www.nme.com/news/music/spotify-to-pull-out-of-uruguay-after-bill-demanding-fair-pay-to-artists-3545493

@XaoslordErie @mrk absolutely LOVE Bill Bailey! My older bro saw him support Metallica at some festival and as a tribute to the headliners, he played Enter Sandman on those horns clowns use. So good! If you’re into the British style of comedy, particularly the more ‘cheeky’ ones, definitely check out Jason Manford

@DanielCoopreal been an absolute joke, but hopefully we’ll keep going through Prime Ministers to the point that it’s my turn to go through the revolving door

Really gutted to see that a platform like BBC Introducing will be going through cuts. It’s such an important platform for new artists to get their first pieces of radio exposure and has acted as a launch pad for so many… but not me, they’ve never played my music hahaha https://www.nme.com/news/music/sigrid-on-bbc-introducing-cuts-its-a-disgrace-its-such-a-shame-3512445 #musicnews #CoSoMusic

@allin thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words

@BrazenlyLiberal hahaha very nearly! It’s 11am, though I’ve been forgetting to have lunch lately since I started taking ADHD medication

Here’s my #CoSoIntroduction … I was trained as a classical guitarist, before getting really into heavy metal, then finally discovering hip hop. I started singing at the end of 2021 because I was having a hard time finding someone to work with and I’d never tried it before. It’s been quite the journey!

@JoyfullyDazed incredible guitarist. We studied him for a few classes at university, and the tutor explained how his guitar solos were “like falling down the stairs and landing on your feet”. His guitar solo in Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ is really hard to accurately replicate because EVH was so drunk when recording that he was stumbling around a bit and bending his guitar strings and neck in really weird ways, making it sound super unique

@COSOVerifications thank you!

@invisiblecatmom it can be hard to get out of that mindset, especially when feeling low. There’s somebody out there for everyone and they’ll no doubt appear in your life at a ridiculously unlikely time. Hang in there

@XaoslordErie @CoSoTips thank you so much for the help and support, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to getting into some good conversations

@skuwiph thank you so much! I’m really liking it on coso, so far. Seems more aligned with my thinking compared to other places

@Krysdammit thank you so much for the support, so quickly! I really appreciate it and look forward to checking out new music

@Hyporeality thank you so much - really amazed by the warm reception so far. I like it here, definitely an upgrade from space cowboy’s Twitter/X

So here I am. What do I even say? How does it begin? I guess I should introduce myself: hello, I’m Confidential. I’m a singer-songwriter based in the UK.

Let’s start with that
