Great write up by @nprofile…56l3 on last weekend's gig in Belgrade. It felt like an event that really kicked things up a gear in the #V4V space. Such a talented line up and music so diverse. Where else would you get all those artists on the same stage? Shout out to the team @nprofile…0jpe , @nprofile…c6d8 , @nprofile…dxpg , @nprofile…3sr2 and the rest of the team involved. Boundaries were broken down and new friendships were made. It's clear that the future of music is bitcoin zaps directly to the artist. Boarderless, permissionless, instant!

That's awesome. I pushed the boat out with this album because I had the chance to work with Cal Campbell and Cornelius Webb and record it at Glen Campbell's old house. He's one of my hero's and I grew up on his music. The next album might be slightly more DIY, but too early to say. Do you produce all your own stuff too?

2026-06-05 00:29:00 UTC

- reply

Yeah, 500 CDs and 500 vinyl. Would love to build a home studio in the future. Need to get other players in recording with me though. It gets expensive real quick, most listeners don't realize. If you have all the gear and can produce and play everything, that's the best situation!

I think the elephant in the room is that it's still too much effort for a non technical person to acquire bitcoin just to zap a few sats to their favorite artists. So we either have to wait for bitcoin to be baked in to all the current payment rails (might take decades) or a platform needs to bridge the gap with the fiat world making it super easy to zap from an applepay-like solution. Just my two sats

Also, would be great to see more RSS platforms integrating with nostr login. So the artist first claims a nostr identity and can then log in with any service they like to upload their music. Clients like @nprofile…kclk that give a non custodial wallet with lightning address is a great first step. (Sorry for spamming this post)

Imagine the way V4V wins is a million nyms illegally uploading all the world's catalogue to nostr.

Shout out to this legend!
Throw back to recording the album, Ben Jarrad was a dream to work with. Would literally sing him a idea / riff / solo and he'd nail it straight away. Such a talented musician and great songwriter too. He's releasing some music of his own soon, so keep an eye (and ear) out for that.
There is a bonus track on Alone In Valentine that only exists on physical media. Paris Texas features Ben and myself on nylon string guitars, cut in 1 take to keep it real. Some beautiful playing by Ben on that song in particular. If you want to listen you can grab a physical copy at https://www.joemartinmusic.com/merch
Go check out Ben's stuff too wherever you get your music!

But I'm not on that V4V site and I wondered why, if it was taking in RSS feeds like fountain etc does. If I needed to do anything?

But Wavlake is RSS, it still shows up on other platforms

Cool! How do I get my stuff on there? 🤙

Would be interesting to know what it would cost for a platform like Fountain to license all the catalogue that's on Spotify. Sure it's a possibility, but would just cost a lot. I've seen a few people switching from Spotify recently

Companies not showing proof of reserves should trade at a steep discount. Have fun hodling paper
