The Internet
-THE INTERNET have released two albums previously – 2011’s Purple Naked Ladies, and 2012’s Feel Good.
-THE INTERNET branched off from the Odd Future collective and started their own band in 2011. Syd had been writing music since she was small; she put this on hold to become OF’s DJ and producer, and picked her songs back up in 2011 to make her first full-length album with Matt.
-When they play live, THE INTERNET is a band – a six-person outfit whose youngest member is 17. They began playing as a full-band in order to tour behind Feel Good, and the band members all contributed their talents to THE INTERNET’s 2015 album EGO DEATH.

Many may recall when the FCC ignored the pleas of just about everyone besides the telecom giants and opted to axe net neutrality, a decision which only went into effect as recently as June 11, and while Ajit Pai and friends are claiming the internet's continued functionality is proof dissenters fears were overhyped, the reality may be something quite different.

By Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm. The personal tech revolution that encouraged many of us to look at screens for the past 15 years or so is shifting.

As it turns out, putative enemies, futurists and Luddites are actually united: Neither camp wants people looking at screens all day. The “internet of things” premise seems fantastical to some people but it is real. Speakers, ...

By David Hahn (@davidjhahn), founder and editor of the blog Musician Wages. Recording music was a stupid idea. I sometimes daydream about what would need to happen in order for all recorded music playback devices to all stop functioning at once. And then, if people wanted to hear music, someone would have to actually play it. But I'm not a luddite. While I often look to the music industry's past — it's only so that I might get a glimpse of ...

Music Fans in the Internet Age: Same Behaviors, Amplified

Over the past few years, different variations of the same question have repeatedly bubbled up on the music blogs: has the internet killed music fandom? If music fans are indeed a dying breed, the industry and art form of music face a problem of apocalyptic proportions. After all, fans keep the amps humming, the records spinning, and the musicians eating. In fact, many of the experimental 'Music 2.0' business models from the last three to five years tend to rely ...
