Scene Mom Says: Montapalooza Happened, Prince's Vault Is Open & the Music Industry Is Eating Itself

Time: ~35 min. It’s Episode 95! It has been a very full few weeks and I have a LOT to catch you up on. First and most importantly — Montapalooza happened. Our first ever music festival went down on May 30th and I have so much to tell you about it. This week's music news is wild. Google is arguing that uploading your music to YouTube may have already given them permission to use it for AI training, the musician’s union just turned around and sued Universal and Warner for doing the exact same thing the labels publicly called out AI companies for doing, and Prince's vault is open with ten previously unreleased recordings spanning 4 decades. Plus your weekly marketing tip, music history, and indie tracks from Arizona, Boston, and Ireland. Tap play!
