566 The rest of the devil's number. I've no idea why but I've published at least 4 songs about the devil from various acts.
However I have the first one about Jesus coming soon. @npub1ezj620yh3… 😉

100 You are doing the devil's work gentlemen. And I'm here for it.
Wanna update you all on the live music livestreams I've been doing this month.

269 M8, just needed to say a massive thank you for all the tools you guys are building. I honestly believe this is how we win and genuinely support artists for the long haul.Seeing their tracks in the charts makes such a massive difference to the artists I speak with, they mention it all the time. The idea of gamifying the whole system to gut the attention economy and bring back real, authentic content is spot on. No AI spam, no bollocks, just proper craft.
