Japanese Breakfast Covers Brandi Carlile’s ‘The Story’

Japanese Breakfast has shared a cover of Brandi Carlile’s ‘The Story’ to soundtrack the fall 2022 brand campaign from the North Face. Check it out below.

“It was a joy to take on the iconic ballad ‘The Story’,” Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner said in a statement. “I think the song captures the depths of human tenacity and the spirit of the journey so well. We wanted to keep our rendition sparse and acoustic. A beautiful string arrangement written by Craig Hendrix and performed by our violinist, Molly Germer, and Quartet 121 soars in to sweep you up to the mountains.”

Earlier this year, Japanese Breakfast covered Bon Iver’s ‘Skinny Love’ for the Spotify Singles singles series.

Album Review: Björk, ‘Fossora’

Album Review: Björk, ‘Fossora’

Fossora, in Björk’s own terms, means “she who digs.” The Icelandic iconoclast’s tenth album has been framed as her return back to solid ground, anchoring itself in earthy beats and dark, muddy textures after the kaleidoscopic fantasia of 2017’s Utopia. That album, too, was a dense excavation of feeling wrapped in the sounds of the natural world, taking flight without ever abandoning its aerial, free-floating perspective. In that sense, the journey to Fossora, which assumes a more evocative than literal relationship with its environment, isn’t hard to trace. Naturally, however, any attempt to describe the album through a single lens is likely to fall flat; Fossora is a particularly challenging and beguiling listen, and anyone anticipating a relatively “grounded” experience will find that Björk is, unsurprisingly, more interested in the thorny implications of the verb “digging.” She gives us a hint early on, titling the first song and lead single after the Greek word for placelessness.

But the world she fashions is still not impenetrable. Fossora‘s 13 tracks might feel disparate at first, both fizzy with curiosity and heavy with desire, unbound yet not entirely disconnected from the shadow of grief that hung over her previous albums. In her search for stability, she finds roots in each expression of herself and embraces them in ways that are fluid, inquisitive, bemusing, and at times devastating, but not quite as solipsistic or distant as Utopia, in its more explorative stretches, could be. There are moments that engage with the album’s mushroom theme through playfully unnerving musical experiments (‘Mycelia’) or knotted metaphors (‘Fungal City’) that, in isolation, don’t necessarily add much of substance. But strung together, and over repeated listens, it’s hard not to be enraptured by the discoveries that come alive as Björk and her collaborators burrow deep beneath the surface, unraveling in an underground network punctuated by bass clarinets and gabber beats.

‘Allow’, a song that dates back to the sessions for Utopia, could have easily felt out of place. Weaving Björk’s yearning vocals with the gentle cooing of Norwegian singer-songwriter Emilie Nicolas, its soft romanticism finds a home in the cradle of Fossora, which opens itself to the possibilities of new love. Earlier on the album, she maps out her definition love on ‘Ovule’, where hypnotic percussion made in collaboration with Sideproject clashes with majestic fanfare and El Guincho’s reggaeton production. Rather than getting lost in some futuristic vision, though, the song ultimately lands closer to the murky realities of the present: “Now with your romantic intelligence, the sensual tenderness/ We dissolve old habits and place a glass egg above us floating.” The language is symbolic and ambiguous, but its physicality also feels palpable, as does the horror of ‘Victimhood’, the track that precedes ‘Allow’. While her interrogation of the shadow self can seem alienating and guarded, the ominous and slippery landscape she builds around it feels inescapable as it transforms into a chaotic abyss.

Despite the aggressive techno influences that creep in on songs like ‘Trölla-Gabba’ and the title track, Fossora never quite erupts in the ways you might expect, but it never deflates or meanders too much, either. For all the signifiers that have been thrown on top of it, the album explores grand ideals – hope, connection, homeland – not as separate destinations but combined vessels for growth, which explains its intricate sonic architecture. “If we don’t grow outwards towards love/ We’ll implode inwards towards destruction,” Björk warns on ‘Atopos’, a guiding principle she uses to extend beyond the limits of herself and her past. This threat of self-immolation is embedded even in the safe haven of the heartfelt ‘Freefall’: “If we cling to what we used to be/ It will burn our soul.”

While she plays with perspective, Björk never loses sight of the heart of the record, whose two most moving songs are placed right at its center. ‘Sorrowful Soil’ and ‘Ancestress’ are both masterful tributes to her mother, the environmental activist Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir; one is described as a eulogy, the other an epitaph. Here, Björk draws from and upends tradition in much the same way that she wrings emotion out of archetypal ideas and loose structures: through space, and with compassion. Instead of presenting a dry list of facts about her life, ‘Sorrowful Soil’ imagines a matriarchal obituary full of strangely resonant observations that transcend a single person, augmented by the surging voices of Björk’s childhood choir, the Hamrahlíðarkórin. “You did your best, you did well,” they insist, breaking up not in a show of hesitation but firm reassurance.

‘Ancestress’, which features vocals from Björk’s son Sindri, merges her fantastical poetry with more concrete and personal memories. Her remembrance is sparked by idiosyncratic detail that reveals a universal need to see herself through her lineage: “She invents words and adds syllables/ Hand-writing, language all her own.” Yet it is also a striking and uncompromising portrait of a dying rebellion – or rebellion toward death. The album, though, doesn’t end in a note of resignation. Mushrooms are known for relying on decaying matter to absorb nutrients and make their own food, a process that is key to their growth as well as the interconnectedness of the ecosystem. Fossora is the embodiment of this cycle. “There’s fear of being absorbed/ By the other,” Björk sings, and every so often, it is uprooted by hope.

Loretta Lynn Dead at 90

Loretta Lynn Dead at 90

Country music legend Loretta Lynn has died. Her family said in a statement: “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home in her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills.” A cause of death has not been revealed. Lynn was 90 years old.

Born Loretta Webb in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, Lynn was the daughter of a coal miner, as she sang on her signature 1970 song ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’. At the age of 15, she married Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn and moved to Washington, where she started performing at clubs. In 1960, she released her first single, ‘I’m a Honky Tonk Girl’, which became a country hit and led to her making her first Grand Ole Opry appearance that same year. Lynn issued her debut album, Loretta Lynn Sings, on Decca Records in 1963, and went on to find success with a stream of singles in the ’60s and ’70s, including ‘Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)’, ‘You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)’, ‘Fist City’, ‘One’s on the Way’, ‘Rated ‘X’, and ‘Trouble in Paradise’. ‘The Pill’, a birth control anthem that Lynn co-wrote in 1975, was banned by some stations but became her biggest crossover hit, landing at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 1976, Lynn published her memoir Coal Miner’s Daughter, which chronicled her rise to fame and was adapted into a 1980 movie starring Sissy Spacek as Loretta, Tommy Lee Jones as her husband, and Levon Helm as her father. It earned Sissy Spacek the Oscar for Best Actress, and the film was nominated for Best Picture. Along with her success as a solo artist, Lynn also scored several chart-topping duets with Conway Twitty. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988.

In 2000, Lynn put out her first studio album in over a decade, Still Country, which was followed in 2004 by the Jack White collaboration Van Lear Rose. Lynn continued to perform and record music throughout the 21st century. 2016’s Full Circle reached No. 19 on the Billboard 200, her highest peak on the chart. Lynn’s final album was last year’s Still Woman Enough, which featured contributions from Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, and Margo Price.

In lieu of flowers, Lynn’s family is asking for donations to be made to the Loretta Lynn Foundation.

Winter has unveiled ‘sunday’, the final preview of her forthcoming album What Kind of Blue Are You?. Following previous offerings ‘good’ and ‘atonement’, the track arrives alongside an accompanying video directed by Lorena Alvarado and Winter. Check it out below.

Coco Unveil New Single ‘Omen’

Coco – the trio of Maia Friedman of Dirty Projectors, Lucius’ Dan Molad, and Oliver Hill of Pavo Pavo – are back with a new track, ‘Omen’. Give it a listen below.

Speaking about the new single, the band explained in a statement:

Wildfire season colors the sky every year with a warning: the Onceler is up to his usual tricks and we haven’t a Lorax to speak for the trees. “Omen” is about this annual glimpse into the future – “Heavy hangs the sunshine / Yellow, thick, and unkind.” There’s a double meaning, though, riffing on omens in our personal lives – moments when the writing is on the wall. “Feel a pattern in me / Look away and stand over there / Still I see it everywhere, an omen.”

Musically, we wanted the track to feel on one hand grounded in nature and reality (the guitar, campfire slow dance) and on the other hand alien and futuristic (the arpeggiating bloops and filtering drums). We hope you enjoy the melody!

Coco released their self-titled debut last year. Back in August, they shared a song called ‘Rough Water’.

Best platforms for content creators to monetize their skills

Best platforms for content creators to monetize their skills

The world’s consumption of content has considerably expanded in a relatively short time. This significant growth in a variety of categories, including entertainment, gaming, news, and information, has been driven by factors including rising smartphone usage, widely accessible and affordable internet data, and the coronavirus pandemic.

The internet has created new opportunities and sources of income for techies and content creators. While most people opt for a well-paying position, some people work hard and pursue their passion. Many people have been forced to explore for alternative work prospects that can be done remotely because the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted human physical connectivity. As a result, the increased demand for creative content offers content creators a sizable monetization opportunity.

To give more individualized information than before, content creators have increasingly started to experiment with material formats such podcast-style presentations, panel discussions, closed group networking, and video and audio chats. User-generated platforms give content producers the chance to produce original material, connect with niche audiences looking for similar content, and find remote work opportunities.

Here are some of the best platforms for content creators who want to monetize their skills on the internet these days.

  1. Buy Me a Coffee

Jacob A. Tech, better known as Mr. Alex Tech, is a YouTuber who makes videos about technology and how to use it. He has over 1 million subscribers and his videos have been viewed over 100 million times.

Mr. Alex Tech started using Buy Me a Coffee (BMAC) in early 2020 to monetize his YouTube channel instead of using Adsense. He has been very happy with the results and says that he has doubled his income by using BMAC.

BMAC is a great platform for YouTubers who are looking for an alternative to Adsense. It is not a subscription service and there are no hefty one-off payments like with some other platforms out on the market today. You can even set this up so people only need your help briefly or might not be able afford full price but still want something extra special when they leave.

If you are a YouTuber who is looking for a way to monetize your channel, we highly recommend that you check out Buy Me a Coffee.

  1. SuperPeer

As the world becomes more and less accessible through technology, SuperPeer has risen to take 10% of both channels. The platform offers one-on-one video calls that are recorded for quality assurance purposes in case you cannot make it happen live on your own terms, like when life gets too busy. You pick your schedule by blocking hours per calendar month so there’s no stress whatsoever with this business model because they’ve got everything covered and all you need is your phone. The best part? You get to keep 80% of the revenue and they handle everything else, from customer service to marketing.

Now that we’ve covered what SuperPeer is and how it works, it’s time to dive into the different types of content you can create as a creator on the platform. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

-How-to videos on any topic you’re passionate about.

-Product reviews.

-Unboxing videos.

-Educational videos on a particular topic or subject.

-Interviews with other experts in your field.

-Q&A videos where you answer questions from viewers.

-Video tours of your workspace, studio, or office.

-Day in the life videos.

-Demo videos showing how to use a particular product or service.

-Vlogs documenting your journey as a creator on SuperPeer.

No matter what type of content you create, remember to always be authentic and true to yourself. Your viewers will appreciate your honesty and will be more likely to connect with you on a personal level. You should also note that you can use a video editor to make your videos more polished and professional. This is a great way to stand out from the competition and attract more viewers to your content.

  1. Gumroad

Gumroad is a platform that allows digital products to be sold. It has been around since 2011 and recently gained popularity with the rise in eCommerce, as well as other websites such like Etsy or Ebay for example.

The app boasts 84 thousand creators who collectively earned over $422 million dollars on average, which means if you’re running your own business without any costs involved whatsoever then chances are good at least one person out there could help make things easier by providing materials needed (like images), plus taking care of the selling process for you.

For a predetermined price or subscriptions, users can purchase and sell ebooks, films, cryptocurrencies, newsletters, and other digital goods. The IndieHacker community is quite active on Gumroad and frequently gives advice, hacks, and success stories.

  1. Clubhouse

Clubhouse is a new platform that allows content creators to monetize their passion. The Creator First accelerator program at Club House pays users, and payment can be sent by any user on the app without taking anything for themselves in return. Creator payments are straightforward making it extremely convenient from both sides: consumers will find more incentives while creators get rewarded fairly according how hard they work or innovative ideas put into practice with this service.

This system also offers new opportunities for content producers who are struggling to get their voices heard. On Clubhouse, all you need is a great idea and the willingness to share it with others. The platform will take care of the rest, from promotion to monetization. So if you’re passionate about something and want to share it with the world, Clubhouse is a good option for you.

  1. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a household name when it comes to streaming. With an increase in monthly searches of over 7700% since 2012, there’s no doubt that Stream Labs has become one if not the most popular platform out on the market today.

This ease-of use program makes managing your multiple streams simple and fun with features such as simultaneous connection across all major platforms like Youtube or Twitch while still giving you full control over how much bandwidth each account uses so they don’t interfere another ones growth potentialities.

Stremlabs goes above and above to make sure you get paid, despite not having a direct monetization agreement like the Partnership program or Google AdSense. While profiting on other platforms, creators can also negotiate sponsorship agreements and design unique tip pages.

Streamlabs is part of a wider movement of websites that enable creators to host and make money from their live streams.

  1. NewsBreak

Since it was founded, NewsBreak has mostly served as a local news aggregator.

The number of Americans using the app is in the seven figures. But the recent buzz is all about the creator program. NewsBreak generously expands its pool of content producers by hiring new writers and video producers.

The platform offers better monetization terms as a reward for local content. The only things you can’t post tales about are PG-13 material, sexual advice, and language that is overtly explicit.

The platform gives early-bird incentives to some producers that guarantee a minimum income, and it pays each view. Most of the right-leaning, male audience members are from both coasts and the Deep South. Therefore, there may be some arguing in the comments section.

  1. Substack

For almost a year, Substack has been the topic of conversation.

Since early 2020, the platform has seen a 1,733% increase in search results. It is difficult to gauge the popularity of Substack because it, like the majority of newsletter businesses, doesn’t rely on search engine finding.

Many journalists who lost their careers in traditional media now have the option of creating their own news hubs and charging a subscription. In a gamble on the newsletter craze is Substack. Not only is email alive and well. It is sweeping the globe.

According to Radicati’s study, there are approximately 4 billion active email users. The Dispatch, a political Substack periodical, predicted 2021 gross revenues ranging from $1.08 million to $10. 8 million.

  1. Momspresso

With a ten-year existence, Momspresso is one of the largest network of user-generated content for women. The platform helps businesses conceptualize and launch digital campaigns while using traffic on their social media platforms in ten different languages, with the help of influencers, content creators, and others. It is a bilingual content platform designed for the complicated mothers of today. It is a mom-only area that is teeming with the spirit of possibilities. The carefully written content supports mothers in their duties as wives, daughters, and, most importantly, as women, not only as mothers.

  1. YouTube

YouTube has been a lifesaver for many video makers during this Covid-19 outbreak. The online platform offers an advertising system that allows content creators to monetize their activities and it’s still standing strong as the best place in today’s market where people can go share, upload or watch videos.

This is good news for those looking for an alternative place to generate some extra income during these trying times. However, as with any online platform, there are certain guidelines that users need to follow in order to make the most out of YouTube.

Here are some tips on how you can make money from YouTube:

Plan your videos

This is probably the most important step in creating successful YouTube videos. You need to have a clear idea of what your video is going to be about before you start filming. This will help you stay on track and avoid rambling which can lead to your viewers losing interest.

Invest in good equipment

You don’t need to break the bank to get started but it’s important to have decent equipment if you want your videos to look professional. A good quality camera and microphone will go a long way in making your videos look and sound great.

Create engaging content

Your viewers will only stick around if your content is engaging and entertaining. Keep this in mind when planning and filming your videos. Try to add some variety to your content so that your viewers don’t get bored.

Use keywords

Keywords are important for getting your videos ranked in YouTube’s search results. Do some research to find out which keywords are most relevant to your video content and include them in your title and description.

Promote your videos

Once your videos are live, it’s time to start promoting them. Share your videos on social media, forums, and other websites. You can also run ads on YouTube to get more views.

Monetize your videos

YouTube offers a monetization feature that allows you to make money from your videos. You can sign up for AdSense which will place ads on your videos and pay you based on views and clicks. You can also join YouTube’s Partner Program to get access to more advanced features like sponsored videos and merchandise sales.

Analyze your performance

Keep track of your video views and engagement rates to see what’s working and what’s not. You can use YouTube’s Analytics tool to get detailed information about your audience and how they interact with your videos. Use this data to improve your future videos.

These are just some of the things you can do to make money from YouTube. If you follow these tips, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a successful YouTuber.

  1. My.Club

You might have heard of OnlyFans, an option that a lot of content creators have chosen to monetize their content. But did you know that there are other sites like OnlyFans to make money that are in fact better? One of them is My.Club.

On this platform, you decide the cost to join your club, sell your exclusive material, and retain 80% of the money you make.

Creators may sell their work and engage with fans in a variety of ways thanks to the numerous features and options available on My.Club. The good news is that you may save time by using My.Club to export your content from other websites and get verified with just one click if you already have an account on another similar website rather than having to submit all of your content again.

You can collaborate with other content producers on My.Club to submit pieces that highlight one another. Teamwork is key, and this is a terrific opportunity to meet people and create friends while generating more visitors.

Additionally, My.Club gives you the assurance that it will always be adult-friendly and devoid of surprises (that is what they stand for).
