Since discovering #RadioParadise in a café whilst visiting Romania last year, it's #RadioParadiseMellowMix has been regular background music in our house. When the Mrs is out or when I'm working, #RadioParadiseRockIt! is my go to. I can't recommend it enough. No adverts, 5 great music channels and entirely listener donation supported. Give it a go, I rarely use #Deezer anymore. It's Radio Paradise or my own collection now. 📻 https://radioparadise.com/home

Gig! Gig! Gig!
Saturday, Dec 20th, 6-9pm
With my wonderful friends at Chapter Two Brewing Company
This is it, my last real gig for 2025! And I get to do it at one of my forever favorite places
There will be some Ginger Folky standards, your Beer Runs, your Irish Rovers, your Last Shanties.... But there will also be some of the Xmas/Festive/Seasonal songs I've been lashin out for the last bunch of weeks all over Windsor/Essex County.
Then, Xmas Eve Eve, Tuesday Dec 23rd, at I think 7pm Eastern, I'll do that live stream to YouTube. About an hour of the Festive Folky Show. You can Sub here and click the bell to get notified https://www.youtube.com/c/ClintonAndersonAllen
Then I'll be done till 2026
Maybe I'll even change some strings
Cheers!!!

Spotify tests more personalized, AI-powered ‘Prompted Playlists’
"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."
Really liked this very honest overview of streaming income from Los Campesinos.
(fwiw, have been using Tidal for a year now I think, and really no regrets.)

It’s kinda amazing that despite:
• a 180-mile distance gap between myself and Ruby
• both of us working on other high-profile music projects
• we’re using completely un-complex interfacing
• and not a single code of LLM nonsense —
we are able to create an exciting, surprising, topical, post-punk inspired, electronic-industrial-toned themes of desperate celebrity, thanatotic populism, betrayal of self-sacrifice, and atmospheric decay of the urban landscape — all in 18 minutes!
The band Ruby and I made is called Emma Accelerator and our EP, Collider is available everywhere (except Spotify). But it’d be even better if you get it here on our Bandcamp at https://emmaaccelerator.bandcamp.com/ We’d love it if you could give it a listen and share it with your beat-loving friends
The moral, I guess, is just fuck the hate (and haters) and just do it anyway; you just might make something amazingly incredible!
Hang in there, sibs. 🎸🎶❤️👍🏾

Each one has a distinct personality and a reason you might pick it over Spotify. After testing […]

Weekly output: Ford’s EV strategy, Open RAN security risks, Waymo + Spotify
After a week and a half on the West Coast that began with Black Hat, I can now turn my attention to catching up on the talks I had to skip at that conference, since on-demand video is now available for all but a handful of its sessions. Video of some DEF CON talks is also now starting to pop up, and I’m looking forward in particular to seeing the Voting Village talks that I missed because I bugged out of Vegas Friday afternoon of that week.
Patreon readers got a recap of Black Hat that included some observations about Washington’s wilted presence at this security conference and the generally skeptical take of conference speakers on AI hype.
8/11/2025: Ford Announces $5B Plan to Make EVs Cheaper, Starting With $30,000 Pickup, PCMag
With PCMag’s automotive writer traveling, I stepped in to write this breakdown of the automaker’s ambitious plan to reinvent electric-vehicle production. I hope Ford can deliver on this, and I hope the coming family of cheaper EVs will include a four-door hatchback (even if they call it an SUV or a crossover because it’s a little taller than a sedan).
8/14/2025: Researchers recap some security downsides to open RAN, Light Reading
This Black Hat briefing on Thursday of the previous week about possible vulnerabilites in Open RAN (Radio Access Network) sites went much deeper in the weeds than I usually get when covering telecom infrastructure. So I took an extra couple of days to look over the presentation again, read the reports linked to from it, listen again to my recording of the session, and briefly quiz researchers Tianchang Yang and Kai Tu over e-mail. And then I somehow typed two numbers wrong in the same graf, both of which I’d had correct in my notes. Fortunately, my editor quickly fixed those flubs after Yang brought them to my attention.
8/16/2025: Waymo Picks Up Spotify: Cue Up Personal Playlists on Robotaxi Rides, PCMag
I found out about this change to the Waymo ride experience not from one of that Alphabet subsidiary’s social-media posts, a note from any of its publicists, or an announcement on its site, but from an e-mail I got as a Waymo customer Friday morning. I felt a little bad learning that Waymo had posted this news on four different social platforms Tuesday, but then I realized that earlier news coverage had not mentioned Waymo’s removal of online documentation about an older, jankier way to play music from your phone through a Waymo robotaxi’s speakers.

PSA for those who are thinking of leaving #Spotify: Tidal has a very similar UI, so it'll be very easy to migrate to. I highly recommend it; I jumped from Spotify to #Tidal back when I heard about Spotify giving money to Joe Rogan, and haven't looked back.
They pay artists more, pay Rogan less (i.e., zero), don't cram playlists with AI-generated pabulum, and don't support military weapons development.
