Is Spotify Ruining Music? A Conversation with Liz Pelly

Join us for an evening with Liz Pelly, author of Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist. Pelly will be in conversation with Paul DeGeorge to discuss her book and groundbreaking reporting on Spotify and the state of music under platform monopolies and tech oligarchy. Pelly's book is an unsparing investigation into Spotify’s origins and influence on music, weaving unprecedented reporting with incisive cultural criticism, illuminating how streaming is reshaping music for listeners and artists alike. A timely exploration of a company that has become synonymous with music, Mood Machine will change the way you think about and listen to music. Lawrence Public Library is pleased to be a co-sponsor of this event presented by LAAND (Lawrence All-Ages Noise Destination), Lawrence Music Alliance, and Raven Book Store. Books will be available for purchase from the Raven.
