@deadxemerson @MarcHogan Basically, Marc's right to be flagging concerns about PE shifting incentive structures, and Rob's right to ask whether PE investment is just following a reallocation of value to catalog associated with structural aspects of the format shift. Both can be true!
Completely misses the point of the NYT opinion piece. @MarcHogan argues that private equity is creating economic conditions that choke out independent & new artists. The stats cited in this re: catalog market share—a whopping 7.5% increase from 2020— illustrate exactly that.
it’s telling that the discourse around *recent events* in music journalism has been so focused on eulogizing/remembering things that happened 10-20 years ago instead of the people, writing, and necessary change that has kept it alive and relevant in contemporary culture
Typically great piece, but it’s worth going even broader: private equity drives so much dysfunction beyond catalog and streaming—see FM radio consolidation, journalism, and PE-backed predatory ticket resale sites/apps.

i was quite proud to staff @CondeNast alongside brilliant colleagues. it’s a shame that the commissioning editors there now have no choice but to lose out on our work, and that fruitful professional relationships fostered independently have been unceremoniously severed👎🏼

Today a bunch of us are highlighting this @CondeNast policy, which dictates laid off employees can’t freelance for any Condé Nast publications. Former Pitchfork part-time workers were paid extra for features and reviews, now they’ve lost a revenue stream.

It's true: @CondeNast claims that my laid-off Pitchfork colleagues and I will not be allowed to freelance for any of their pubs. Generally I'd rather ask for forgiveness than permission and send David Remnick all my pitches. But not where corporate billing systems are concerned!
