Some records can be made in a laptop, but some need musician and skilled technicians. But making new recorded music needs funding. If you have a massive catalogue – a major label… for example. but discussion and new thinking necessary. Meanwhile Millions of streams gets them a few thousand dollars.

Plus people are scared to speak up or not take part as they are told they will lose invaluable exposure if they don’t play ball. Meanwhile small labels and new artists can’t even keep their lights on. It’s about establishing the model which will be extremely valuable. The numbers don’t even add up for spotify yet. These are all the same old industry bods trying to get a stranglehold on the delivery system. The music industry is being taken over by the back door and if we don’t try and make it fair for new music producers and artists then the art will suffer. “The reason is that new artists get paid fuck all with this model. Godrich slammed the streaming service the same year, noting how “new artists get paid fuck all with this model…” and that “it’s an equation that just doesn’t work”:
What happens next is the important part.” To me this isn’t the mainstream, this is is like the last fart, the last desperate fart of a dying corpse. It’s about whether we believe there’s a future in music, same with the film industry, same with books. That’s why to me, Spotify the whole thing, is such a massive battle, because it’s about the future of all music.
But because they’re using old music, because they’re using the majors… the majors are all over it because they see a way of re-selling all their old stuff for free, make a fortune, and not die. We can build the shit ourselves, so fuck off. And then all these fuckers get in a way, like Spotify suddenly trying to become the gatekeepers to the whole process. You cut all of it out, it’s just that and that. When we did the In Rainbows thing what was most exciting was the idea you could have a direct connection between you as a musician and your audience. we’ll just have to do this.’ I just don’t agree.
I don’t subscribe to the whole thing that a lot of people do within the music industry that’s ‘well this is all we’ve got left. But it’s all about how we change the way we listen to music, it’s all about what happens next in terms of technology, in terms of how people talk to each other about music, and a lot of it could be really fucking bad. Once that does finally die, which it will, something else will happen. I feel that in some ways what’s happening in the mainstream is the last gasp of the old industry. I feel like as musicians we need to fight the Spotify thing. “I feel like the way people are listening to music is going through this big transition. If you’ll recall, in 2013, Yorke famously compared Spotify to “the last desperate fart of a dying corpse” and called them “gatekeepers to the whole process”: Since self-releasing their last full-length, 2011’s The King of Limbs, frontman Thom Yorke and producer Nigel Godrich have been very vocal about their dislike for streaming services, even going so far as to pull their respective catalogs from Spotify. The highly anticipated track is available on YouTube and Spotify, which, as Pitchfork points out, is a curious move considering the UK rockers have repeatedly slammed such music sharing platforms. Radiohead released their brand-spanking-new single “Burn the Witch” to much fanfare this morning.
