We kick things off this week with a News with Nick. Pitchfork puts up a paywall, Bandcamp bans AI, and rock music gets the ‘most improved’ award for music streaming in 2025.

Greg has three tidbits to share on a Three for Thursday. We get another round of “There I Ruined It,” some Kurt Rosenwinkel magic, and Vulfpeck returns to the stage at Madison Square Garden.

Songs: 

Landslide But It's About Landslides (There I Ruined It IG)

Kurt Rosenwinkel Beato Inteview
