Live in the Age of Covid19

Twitch also at some point included features that would allow DJs to stream as well.  I suspect Bands are probably taking advantage of that as well. 

I was looking into possibly DJing online, but it’s virtually impossible to do it legally and licensed now a days. I think live365 is the only provider left  that will pay the fees owed Soundexchange, etc.  Otherwise, one is on their own to pay directly which isn’t worth the hassle. 

I guess copyright be damned these days given all the DJs streaming and people doing covers over Facebook, etc.

I did see at least one band get nailed for performing their own songs though.

Last Night’s Tim’s Listening Parties were awesome.  Lots of tales from Ash on 1977 and even Weller was weighing on Our Favorite Shop.  Such a fun thing to do.

Friday we get Lloyd Cole chatting about Rattlesnakes.  Saturday will include The Coral and Supergrass back to back.  Tim’s also doing Elliott Smith Figure 8, not sure who besides will be involved.

I've tuned in late night to a few of ?questlove's streaming sessions, pretty damn amazing, especially his Bill Wither's party a few weeks back. I don't see how anyone could stop you stream via IG or Facebook. Do it!

The more I look into the more I realize it’s just not worth the hassle. There lots of tricks to get around the fact that all Fb\IG streams are being monitored for content violations, just not worth trying to bend the rules.  Would rather not get flagged by the overlords.

I admittedly don't know these rules, nor would I follow them if I did… but to clarify, are you saying someone like ?uestlove isn't allowed to be streaming misc. songs over IG/FB/etc?

Live a little, you may get Covid tomorrow! If it would bring you fun and joy for an hour, do it! In reality, how many people are going to tune into your show?? In the 10's?? 100's? It would be a blip on the interweb radar.

remember, I've been building a case that Kosmo is actually a Bot
So he's got legions at his fingertips…legions!

Pretty sad, popped into G Love's live IG last night and he had about 100ish listeners… Take note kosmo.

Anyway, considering he was going to donate the $14 he raised to the 930 club, you'd think they would've promoted the event.

Maybe advertise it on… well, IG???

G Love doesn’t have that many big fans and there are a ton of different livestream options and people have lives

I thought it was a really cool thing of G Love to do…yes he has played 930 like 20 times but lately he has been playing non IMP affiliated smaller venues so for him to do this

I posted a link to it on the IMP staff Facebook group and I know staff really appreciated it

Space’s daughter and I have never even heard of this Glove fellow. Is he a local Flava Flav looking motherfucker?

White boy hip hop/blues guy from Philly

Sidehatch introduced me to him


I particularly love Coast to Coast produced by legend Jim Dickinson! It’s top notch


But I don’t think you wanted to know that!
