README.md
please read before mutating
Why?
Because music became content.
Content became engagement.
Engagement became optimization.
Optimization forgot people.
We're trying something else.
Human-first
This website was built by people.
The songs were written by people.
The mistakes were made by people.
You're invited to make new mistakes with us.
What you can do
Download everything. Steal ideas. Start a band.
Sing it differently. Translate it. Play it faster. Play it badly. Turn it into techno. Turn it into death metal. Teach it to your grandmother.
Leave a trail
If your version grows from one of our songs, please leave a trail back here.
You don't need our permission. You don't need our blessing. Just help people discover where the song began.
Suggested wording:
Based on "Song Title" by Agreeable Anarchists. This version was created by [your name].
Or write it however feels natural. We care more about the connection than the wording.
Not for extraction
If you're a person making art, welcome.
If you're a corporation building another machine that replaces artists, this place wasn't made for you.
Just don't automate the soul out of it.
