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

Had a convo with a guy that ran a coffee shop yesterday. He was complaining about how social media is messing people up. I told him to check out nostr, that it was open source and you could choose your own algorithm and no one was behind it and you couldn't be censored. And I could see his eyes glazing over 😂

I've thought about doing it, but everything changes so fast it would probably be obsolete very quickly. I would start with downloading Primal, getting the self custody wallet with lightning address. Then logging into @nprofile…hwm0 with that nostr profile and publishing to RSS and nostr music from there, putting in that Primal lightning address for payments. That way might involve the least steps

It's record store day!
And the new album has found its way to Grimey's in East Nashville. My good friend, the legendary Jeff Dayton, a very talented singer songwriter (and leader of Glen Campbell's band for 20 years) dropped in to pick up a copy.
If you're in the States and would like to get hold of Alone In Valentine, it's quicker and cheaper to order from Grimey's than my website (shipping costs make it almost impossible for me to post it out there unfortunately).
So if you'd like a copy, just drop an email to funky@grimeys.com or call (615) 226-3811 to order and it should arrive with you in a couple of days. > https://www.grimeys.com/
I want to also get some copies into stores across northwest England and Yorkshire. That will be a priority after the tour. Until then, if you're in the UK, you can order from joemartinmusic.com/merch and I will ship it to you asap.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on the album so far! In Kinross, Scotland tonight with the band and then touring Lancashire and Yorkshire next week.

My album Alone In Valentine is out early on all V4V platforms!
This record has been 18 months in the making and took this Brit to Nashville / Texas and back. I got to work with some of the best folks in the business and make the record at the home of my musical hero. What a trip!
Feel blessed to have been given this opportunity to work with such talented people.
If you like the album, please give a zap.
Give this post a share for visibility and let me know your favorite track.
Enjoy!
Much love

It's release day, only here on #nostr !
Hope you enjoy this new song off the forthcoming album. It's called "Checkmate" and it's about finding the winning move to this rigged economic game we find ourselves in. The trick is not to play their game, but exit and start a new one.
21 million, no more. Checkmate.
You can listen to audio only on @nprofile…hwm0` , @nprofile…y9gd or any other nostr native music app. Please share and send a zap if you like it #valueforvalue style. Listen out for the @`Jeff Booth` and @`Michael Saylor` references 😉

Aaron is a great guy. He's done so much to onboard artists to this new way of doing things. We're hoping that this is the final frontier of music distribution and monetization. With your nostr identity, you can't be deplatformed or censored (by the design of the system) and you can also get payments directly from your fans without any company taking a cut. The future is now, glad to see you here, please help us spread the word to your fans and fellow artists! Can't wait to hear the new music you'll be uploading here 🤙

Yeah, already on those, but Spotify only integrates with Shopify and I thought I could be missing out on some physical merch sales with any fans that might be listening over there. Such a waste of time. Once you use nostr and bitcoin you realise how awful these fiat platforms are 😅

It's more for calculation purposes for newbies. They want to know if they're sending and receiving a dollar, not 1000 sats.
If the artists choose to keep the sats or cash out is up to them. We're trying to solve the payment issue for artists. Keep it as simple as possible
We're looking at this from a payments perspective of lightning rather than btc as better savings (that's a separate conversation)

2026-04-05 15:08:22 UTC

- reply

I think btc (lightning) being used under the hood is a must for the openness and interoperability aspect. But I deffo thing default displays can be in fiat. Imagine downloading one of these apps as a listener that has never interacted with bitcoin and seeing a default zap of 1000 sats. They'd be like what the hell, how much is that?! *delete

I agree, you have to keep things in perspective. It is still very early. It's just frustrating hearing artists complain and rant in person and on other social media and when you try and explain this stuff and it falls on deaf ears 🤷‍♂️

shitcoins and NFTs have also screwed things up badly. V4V is a pure model with no catches or expectations. It is the only reason I feel comfortable promoting this idea. To people that don't fully understand what I'm talking about, they think I'm being scammy somehow. It's sad

yeah, I think most people believe these platforms are 'free' to use when they're really paying with their data and attention. It has really screwed things up. It's hard to go back to charging for something that people expect to be 'free'

Really enjoyed this conversion with @nprofile…ndv8 .
I wanted to be honest about how I see the #V4V scene vs where I imagined things would be by now when I first stepped into this over 3 years ago.
Why are people so resistant to giving this idea a try? And why do most people who do, leave after a short period of time?
Is it about improving the tech/ onboaring for artists and listeners, or is it about more education?
Does bitcoin and nostr have a branding problem that needs to be abstracted away for most nontechnical users to finally start adopting it?
Are the quirky terms like 'valueforvalue' and 'boosting' leaving people with more questions than answers?
I don't have the answers, but it's hard to look around and say 'we're winning' when users are down, zaps are down and people that come into the ecosystem disappear within a short space of time.
I'm still here because I believe in the underlying tech and principles of the idea but it's hard to see how this starts to get mass adoption without things being radically simplified. Maybe folks don't want mass adoption either and are happy for the valueverse to stay as a niche community which is fine, but we should be honest about that.
Trust me when I say, I'm never going back to just releasing music on all the old platforms. But we need some new blood around here, and artists ARE looking for this, they just don't know it yet. How do we get people fired up about this?
Hope this podcast gets the discussion moving

Cal is such a pro. Producing, recording and playing drums and percussion for all the album tracks. Adding sweet harmonies on a few of the songs and making some awesome arrangement suggestions. I'll admit, I'm much more comfortable on the stage than in the studio, but Cal has managed to create a super chilled studio environment and each session felt relaxed, yet productive and a lot of fun. 🤘
Check out the new single Hand Me Down Heart here. Out everywhere Friday

But it's impossible in a paragraph. We're talking about the tiktok brained generation here 😂

I know, just want to leave them curious so they might try it out. But it all feels in vain 😑

Trying my best to purple pill on legacy platforms. How do we make #nostr more sticky, for when artists start showing up?

Shout out to my songwriting partner in crime @nprofile…lt8k .
It was a casual night out in Bastion Bar, Wedgewood where Jonesy introduced me to Cornelius (Gooseman) Webb. We all clicked and bar hopped for a few more rounds. After picking up an acoustic guitar at a friends flat later that night, I drunkenly auditioned what I thought was my best song for Goose. He liked what he heard and it impressed him enough to introduce me to Cal Campbell who eventually ended up producing Alone In Valentine. Funny how the universe works...
So next time you get invited out for a casual beer, say yes! 🍻
Here's the opening tune of the new album, Hand Me Down Heart, written with Jonesy. Felt right opening the album with this, as this was the beginning of the journey > https://v.nostr.build/sDRCMSuIcydG0X0Y.mov
Also, go check out Jonesy's stuff on @nprofile…m58v and zap if you like what you hear. He's got some gems > https://wavlake.com/ben-jonesy-jones

I don't understand what you mean? I'm not saying I'm victimized. I'm just saying what I did. Buy a copy of the album, see what you think and then feel free to criticize or judge. You can buy it for sats here > https://tinyurl.com/joemartinmusic or at my website https://www.joemartinmusic.com/merch 🙂

I intentionally made my album without any AI. I wanted to make one last thing that was truly pure and human before AI slop and inflation ate the world and will make it impractical / impossible . That meant me traveling half way around the world and spending most of my savings on making something I could truly say I was proud of. It was worth it.
