Don’t Let Them Fool You…

Written By ThinkTimm

Welcome back to the ThinkTimm.com blog! This week’s entry breaks down Episode 067 of the Why Make Music… podcast, hosted by yours truly, Willa May aka DJ Warm Cookies. We’re calling this one: “Don’t Let Them Fool You.”

Real Talk, No Gimmicks

Inspired by a viral YouTube video promising easy streaming money through AI-generated music, this episode dives into the smoke and mirrors of the "get rich quick with music" illusion. If you’re an indie artist thinking about jumping on that train, pump the brakes. We get into the real math behind streaming revenue, copyright issues around AI songs, and why authenticity still matters more than automation. Spoiler: it takes more than a prompt and a plug-in to make sustainable music money.

Music Update: Vol. 7 & What’s Next

We celebrated the drop of If I Was Your Producer Vol. 7, and gave listeners a sneak peek at Vol. 8 (coming February 20). As always, we’re staying committed to the long game—building a 1,000-song catalog for sync licensing, creative legacy, and real ownership. Every song, every volume is crafted with intention. No shortcuts, no samples, just straight creativity. That’s how we roll at WDMN Media.

Culture Check-In

  • Grammy 2026 Rundown: From Kendrick’s 9 nominations to the rise of fictional K-pop bands, we broke down the chaos, the snubs, and the surprises.

  • WNBA Unrivaled in Philly: Big love to Natasha Cloud, Paige Bueckers, and the energy that women’s basketball is bringing to our city.

  • Marvel & Star Wars: Wonder Man is out, Daredevil Season 2 is coming, and Maul: Shadow Lord + The Mandalorian & Grogu are about to heat up 2026. Plus, a shoutout to Dave Filoni’s new role steering the Star Wars creative ship.

Life in Philly & Some Prince Wisdom

We touched on the snowstorm that hit Philly hard and shared a cold-weather gem from Prince: “It’s so cold, it keeps the bad people out.” Classic. And yes, we made it through. Shovels, snow boots, SEPTA delays and all.

Visual Vibes: “Another Lover” Promo

We also dropped a quick visual teaser for “Another Lover To Give” (from Vol. 7). It’s on IG Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Go watch it, vibe to it, and share it if you feel it. Expect more visuals coming soon.

Final Thoughts

Episode 067 is a reminder to keep grinding, stay rooted, and don’t get distracted by shortcuts that don’t respect the artform. We're building something that lasts—volume by volume, cookie by cookie.
