Is Music Free? A Discussion With Damon Krukowski

I recently pointed out a new show called Devalued that launched on the We Own This Town network and I'm stoked to announce the first episode is out now and it's a doozy! Damon Krukowski has been making music for decades in the form of Galaxie 500, Magic Hour and Damon & Naomi. His experience with major labels, indie labels, streaming services, the media and all things music industry is invaluable. He regularly writes about all these topics in his newsletter Dada Drummer Almanach (which I highly suggest subscribing to).

He sat down with the Devalued hosts to talk about all those things and his involvement with the Union of Musicians & Allied Workers that pushes to create a more level playing field for artists and workers. Spoiler alert but creating that level playing field really is a political issue and it's one that we can all be involved in to help achieve.

It's a fantastic chat that is applicable well beyond just people involved in the music industry. Do give it a listen and subscribe to the show!
