Heather opens with zap shoutouts from the week. Sara Jade sent 700 sats after hearing her song on the previous episode. Shadrach sent 323 sats with a comment on the NosVegas Bitcoin figures and San Diego Music Awards episode. OpenMike sent 3,333. Shoutouts also to Sir Libre, Annonymal, Matt Finley, Tumbleweed, Henrik Flyman, Tree Ducks, and P@T. Heather also issues a correction from the Helene episode. The title referenced BMI but should have said EMI. Haleen caught it and Heather is setting the record straight. P@T left a comment on the Helene episode about paying for music rights versus paying performers and Heather digs into it, ultimately concluding he is probably agreeing with her point. The broader discussion covers how monthly streaming subscriptions do not actually trickle down to pay artists, with Sara Jade's line quoted: she has made more money complaining about Spotify than she has ever made on Spotify. This week's songs: Who’s Garden by Zazawowow* Cherry Cherry by Right Said Fred New song from Haleen: “I Can Still Smile” Paradox by Zhaklina Waves by Charley T (to keep with the chill vibe this week) Blunt Knife - the latest from Ivy Lumi! My Frined Jimi - Telling Lies (trending on both Fountain & Wavlake) Ryan Zak “Movement 6: Awakening” and it’s almost 18 minutes long! Heather closes with her ongoing argument that songs have gotten shorter since Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard in 1971, that commercial stop sets on radio are now longer than the songs themselves, and that a Bitcoin standard would bring long songs back. Sats sent during songs go to the artists. 10% of Radio Detox proceeds go to HRF for supporting the Bitcoin & Nostr ecosystem. *The song that opens this episode is actually "Who's Garden?" from Zazawowow, not EP, but there seems to be a Fountain bug about this.
