An electronic music producer with greying hair and stubble is here to sell £10,000 of gold from what he calls his “Armageddon fund,” which he started just in case he needs to get out of London in a hurry.
looks like we lost a recent post about jimmy iovine predicting the death spiral of spotify - please repost if you can, googling doesn’t get me to that substack or blog post or whatever it was.
edit: never mind, found it. The Death of Spotify: Why Streaming is Minutes Away From Being Obsolete
props to whomever posted it in the first place!

it wasn’t a retro brand in its heyday, it was pioneering and unpredictable… I stress how important it is for every generation to find its own spaces, inspirations, styles, and attitudes and to make its own culture, just as we did.
Too bad nobody told Ibiza and the rest of the travelling branded circus
On a related note, the piece reminded me of this Essential Mix tribute to Tony Wilson, made 2 weeks after his death, from Pete Tong and Mike Pickering, I think Pickering hadn’t been behind the decks for 10 years or so before he made this in tribute.

I used to work on the same street. After it closed all the doors were open and workmen were walking in and out with armfuls of stuff and chucking it in skips. I joined in, had a good wander round and found a stool and a few bits of dancefloor which I liberated
