Yup, we use Heroku for things at Myxt. And like many other apps today, our app may not work for you due to a service outage at Heroku. They are aware of the problem and hopefully should be able to restore service soon. We'll update here as things progress.

Ok, looks like the outage is ended. Back to listening!
Seems that instead of moving off the all-you-can-eat Spotify/Apple business model we're adding a new one. One where à la carte streaming serves all niche markets and only globally popular musicians make a profit from traditional streaming services. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
We should listen to Nora! Because artists who understand how much fandom has changed into a peer relationship will likely find better directions for growing commercially and artistically
The whole relationship between artist & fan has changed. It used to be, fans simply consumed. Now, they can participate: watch the creation process, offer input, etc. The more artists understand this kind of investment, the better they can flip it into sustainable support.
Musicians in the US should study this thread when considering song contributions. (And following Mark as a source isn't a bad idea)
Producers: your contributions to the songwriting are *totally different* from your contributions to the recording/production. Bear that in mind when it comes to negotiating songwriting splits AND producer compensation.
