Hello,
Happy weekend to you. May it be filled with good music and adequate sleep 🙂
Here is the Friday 5!
What I’m Reading
Effortless by Greg McKeown. This is the follow-up to Essentialism, a book I go back to and continue to recommend. Essentialism was about doing the right things. Effortless is about doing them the right way.
What I’m Listening To
¡Guajira! playlist on Spotify. In the context of this playlist, guajira refers to Cuban dance music with folk influences. Settle in for some tasty rhythms, exciting brass, and trance-like ostinati.
Gratitude
Health benefits of gratitude
Article I’m Reading
How many artists are generating $50k+ a year on Spotify? Over 13,000. The music industry has changed so much since Napster disrupted everything in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. What are the pros and cons of the changing music business? As an artist who has music on Spotify (lullabies and rock n’ roll), this was an interesting read. Do you make money on Spotify? I’d love to hear about it.

If you want to tune in to some loud fast rock n’ roll, my band is playing a set on Twitch tomorrow night. Info here!
Have a lovely weekend!
