Jay’s got a new segment up his sleeve! “Independence PAYS” explores artists whose success on their own eclipses that of their previously successful band.
Song: Nat Stuckey - “Don't Pay the Ransom”
The Copyright Board has decided that artists’ royalty rate from streaming services is going up, from 10.5% to 15.1% for 2018-2022. Nick dove in and came away with a question, how profitable should streaming services be? [Variety]
Song: Dutch Uncles - “Brio”
Greg has some fun updates from his July 4th weekend with the Resilient (we added some pictures on the episode page).
