24.01.2022 From my good friend Mike Rule

21.01.2022 Home again, and the end of I-tunes: When I-tunes first launched its digital jukebox, I was thrilled. It was an awesome solution to the MP3 on the loose. Apple m...ade a good effort to include the independent labels in their new venture and the deal was fair. Apple was more interested in selling I-pods and phones than the actual music so, for instance, on a 9.99 download of an album, I made 7 dollars. Good deal, right? On a 99 cent download of a song, I made 70 cents. They were the only ones with this kind of platform. Worked for me, and I was just as happy as a fan, to still be paying the artists I loved for their music. Streaming changed it all. Granted, its awesome. You can listen to any song, anywhere, on any gadget, any time. The options, the catalogue breathtaking. But as you may have heard, streaming just doesnt pay the content providers. (such a clinical thing to call someone whose life blood goes into their work) Unless you are in that top 1% that dominates charts and playlists and drives advertising revenue on these platforms, you could drown in the internet flood of.... stuff. Even a song I wrote with Katy Perry its on PRISM -recently netted me about 2.87 cents for a million streams on Pandora. The math is sobering. So, touring. Is. It. And thank goodness I love playing live. Some musicians dont love it, or cant pull it off economically. I live to play my songs live. And touring is how what I would call the middle class of the industry are piecing together our livings. Record sales at gigs, thank god, are good. (There are no longer any record stores anyway) CDs are becoming a lovely collectors artifact. A simple dedication that holds a memory of an encounter. Sometimes I wonder even if the fans even have a CD player any more Do they still make them? But the show itself. Survival. I dont have the solution. Were all trying to embrace change, get out there. Master/monetize our new world. It's a great gift and can also be a tough learning curve. When I talk about streaming at my gigs, I hear gasps and sighs. I think most people really dont know how completely the music business has been upended. We dont hear from the Jonathas of the world that often. Were barraged with Beyonce and Taylor Swift and Kanye. So here I am. So grateful to still be doing what I love. Touring is IT. See you out there. more dates coming: jonathabrooke.com/tour

08.01.2022 The beach shower - case study. Once upon a time you would get out of the surf and go stand under a shower, turn the tap on and wash the salt from your skin, eye...s and perhaps your surfboard. When you finished you would turn the tap off and go about your day. This system worked quite well for perhaps 99 out of 100 people who visited and used said tap/shower. Occasionally there was the one idiot that left the tap on deliberately or the drunken reveler who wandered past the shower in an early morning haze and decided that it would be funny to turn the tap on and walk away.or the capitalist who filled up his/her water tank and sold the waterwhatever the case, the local councils had to create a tap/shower that stopped the tap being turned on and left on, amping up the local councils' water charges. That old school tap/shower (the one that was fit for 99/100 people) is no more, well not at the more popular beaches. It is replaced by a modern cyborg-like water dispensing spout that rations out water in bite-sized chunks. The reason for that innovation is entirely predicated by the idiots who left the tap on or stole the water. This is how we are evolving as a species, designing things that are moron proof. In simpler times, say the 1970s, the beach shower would have been installed by a hard-working local and the surfers would have been appreciative of the fact. If one idiot decided to turn the tap on and walk away, someone would have pulled up the said idiot hey mate, what you doing, come and turn the tap off ya nitwit. That was in an era when if someone did something wrong people actually said something. Not so anymore. You see people doing stupid things all the time, no one says anythingThese days we just create a law or modify an invention or product so it cant cause anyone any problemsor, we unfollow them on Instagram, that is akin to a modern punch in the head. That beach shower is a metaphor for a lot of other shallow decisions being made in and around us. *It is a metaphor folks and has nothing to do with a shower. Smile.
