Scene Mom Says: Indie Artist Sues Spotify, The Singer Josie Forgot, & Someone Is Jailed For Burning CD’s
Time: ~32 min. It’s Episode 96! This week's episode is a good one. We've got an indie artist who is suing Spotify over some pretty alarming algorithm allegations, the heartbreaking story of the singer behind Josie and the Pussycats who has seen almost nothing in residuals in 25 years, a guy in the UK who just got sentenced to prison for burning CDs in 2026 (yes you read that right) and Olivia Rodrigo doing something amazing that I really needed to hear this week. Plus your marketing tip, music history, and indie tracks from Massachusetts, Arizona, Connecticut, and London. Also- I teased the next Montapalooza date in episode 95 and now I can make it official. Mark your calendars for Saturday July 17th, 2027! We're moving to summer and I could not be more excited about it. Tune in and get all the details!

Scene Mom Says: Montapalooza Happened, Prince's Vault Is Open & the Music Industry Is Eating Itself
Time: ~35 min. It’s Episode 95! It has been a very full few weeks and I have a LOT to catch you up on. First and most importantly — Montapalooza happened. Our first ever music festival went down on May 30th and I have so much to tell you about it. This week's music news is wild. Google is arguing that uploading your music to YouTube may have already given them permission to use it for AI training, the musician’s union just turned around and sued Universal and Warner for doing the exact same thing the labels publicly called out AI companies for doing, and Prince's vault is open with ten previously unreleased recordings spanning 4 decades. Plus your weekly marketing tip, music history, and indie tracks from Arizona, Boston, and Ireland. Tap play!
