This article explores what we label the streaming paradox: the way in which plenitude at the outset produces narrowness as the outcome. Based on dissection of the interfaces of streaming services, interviews with stakeholders, and analyses of user data, the article introduces six key gatekeeping mechanisms (and concepts) at work in the platforms. These mechanisms are combined effects of algorithmic coding, interface design, and human curation and choices and serve as explanations for the streaming paradox.","PeriodicalId":46155,"journal":{"name":"POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY","volume":"45 1","pages":"300 - 316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44799320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first section, we articulate the sound of the Canadian music industry from above, providing a macro-level political economy, looking at multinational conglomerates, streaming technology, financialization, consolidation, and inequality. In sections two and three, we listen to the sound from below using ethnographic methods, relaying the experiences of independent musicians within an increasingly precarious industry. Based on feedback from the musicians we interviewed, we conclude by providing a series of recommendations and ideas to foster a more equitable, community-based music culture.","PeriodicalId":46155,"journal":{"name":"POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY","volume":"45 1","pages":"251 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47925472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both prickly and profound, the author’s observations are grounded in years of rubbing elbows with black and white Memphians. Truth resonates in his writing. It is the rough-and-tumble truth of the old Beale Street barkeeps rather than the polished, glamorous truth of Chamber of Commerce con men. This is not just a paean to the magical music of Memphis. It is a salute to the hard labor, sweat, luck (good and bad), and personal convictions that allowed black and white men to produce truly memorable music. Out of political mayhem, racial strife, broken banking agreements, and untimely deaths a group of integrated performers and record label executives produced a treasury of unforgettable tunes. From “Last Night” to “Green Onions,” from “Memphis Blues” to “Please Accept My Love,” and from “Blues Power” to “In the Midnight Hour,” Memphis provided the world with a brilliant new soundscape. The river city gained international “Respect” – and wisely urged each listener to “Respect Yourself.”","PeriodicalId":46155,"journal":{"name":"POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY","volume":"45 1","pages":"360 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49155140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on three examples to illustrate the real-world complexities involved in the adoption of new technologies that are often seen as democratic by dint of their widespread use. We argue for a close-reading of the participatory practices of socially-located actors with music-making devices – one that asks detailed questions about who is participating, how, and under what socio-economic conditions. We finish with a call to move beyond the term democratization to an application that is specific to the field of popular music.","PeriodicalId":46155,"journal":{"name":"POPULAR MUSIC AND SOCIETY","volume":"45 1","pages":"84 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45054121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
