— remain on the streaming service. Similarly, only a handful of Patton Oswalt — another Spoken Giants member — are still on the streaming service, most recent of which is 2017’s“Spotify does provide entertainers with exposure and access to large audiences. So having their work taken down is harmful to each individual creator,” Spoken Giants CEO and co-found Jon King — formerly of music publishing organization BMI — told the Wall Street Journal.

“There wasn’t much to collect before. Now it’s a completely different world where a Gaffigan or a Mulaney have billions of performances across these platforms. It now makes sense for a collective licensing business.” Spotify told the Wall Street Journal that the service has “significant amounts of money for the content in question, and would love to continue to do so.” However, the comedians’ work will stay off Spotify until the issue is resolved.

I get why this happens but it's the artists who lose, always. Like, Spotify is totally ingrained into my life at this point. If your work isn't there then I'm not listening to it. I'll just find something else. I'm not gonna seek it out elsewhere. See also garthbrooks .

Nobody Needs a Best Comedy Album GrammyIf the Grammys are the joke their critics make them out to be, then the 'best comedy album' category is the punchline. We look at the worst Grammy award, which honors fame and celebrity more than talent. This was the punchline. The Grammies are crap as are almost if not all industry based awards for artists that are not controlled by the artists themselves (100% includes the academy awards probably as 1), but comedy is an entirely valid category. But I agree with the article that this is just a sham.
