I wanted to share my favorite pieces I wrote from my time at @verge. Some made companies change policies, some were odd rabbit holes to dive into, some are just freaking cool. They all mean something special to me.

Some news: I just learned that 7/31 is my last day at @verge bc of the pandemic.
Thankful I got to work with an incredibly talented team and that I had a space to quite literally change the music industry in impactful ways. Looking forward to what’s next.

I would have never thought that a story about how music *metadata* is so broken would become canon among the industry. It was used in current govt debates on DMCA and is in the congressional record! S/o to
@alexcas_io for designing the PERFECT art.

Bringing back "What's In Your Bag" to focus on musicians was a fucking delight. Nothing tops

When Gesaffelstein performed at
@coachella in front of a Vantablack monolith, I *had* to know the details. The show's producer told me the Vantablack confused one stage tech and, "He fell, hit the surface, and I was like, ‘Okay that’s $20,000.’”https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/24/18512555/gesaffelstein-coachella-performance-vantablack-monolith …Afficher cette discussion -
This piece on AI and music breaks down our country's long history in grappling with all the potential, messy legal consequences. Industry trade execs have told me it's one of the best features they've read on the topic, and
@m_f_rose coined "Botyoncé."https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/17/18299563/ai-algorithm-music-law-copyright-human …Afficher cette discussion -

This absolutely insane story about a small Wisconsin company that vanished with thousands of people’s personal CD and vinyl collections and the eccentric guy who randomly bought them is my favorite caper of 2020. THE MURFIE SAGA.https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/5/21121594/crossies-murfie-madison-wisconsin-arkansas-1-million-abandoned-cds …

This talk with
@Lesterbud on mixing@iamcardib's "Invasion of Privacy" album is my favorite interview of all time. A master of his craft and so gracious. "I just turn the knobs until it sounds good. And that’s my honest-to-god approach."https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/15/18224351/cardi-b-invasion-of-privacy-album-grammy-leslie-brathwaite-mix-engineer …Afficher cette discussion -
When
@MicahSingleton and I worked together on investigations, we were an unstoppable force.

I talked to dear friend
@shawnwasabi about developing the Midi Fighter 64 with@DJTechTools and the amount of work that goes into each of his videos!

Audius and how a blockchain-based music streaming service presents a tangle of complications instead of solving the music industry's existing problems

It seems fitting to put a bow on this with my own "What's In Your Bag." I still have this owl bag, which I bought in a Hong Kong street market. If you ever wanted to know more about me personally, I poured my heart out writing this. Love you all, xoxohttps://www.theverge.com/2017/12/15/16769614/whats-in-your-bag-dani-deahl …
