Coachella's history: from plucky boycott to influencer heaven

No one thought you could have a festival in the desert! Did you know that Coachella, arguably America's most famous music festival, was not originally conceived as a glamorous cash-grab? We track its origins, including how the 90's yarlers Pearl Jam were instrumental in the festival's origins.

Report: How Instagram can help your music career

Your super fans are on Instagram! A new report from music Luminate details how Instagram users are different from all other social media groups. Why do they buy more, spend more time with artists off-site, and engage with more music content? And how can you use that to connect your music to more people than ever before?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
