Enjoy the writing, make sure you actually listen to the ones that sound intriguing and, of course, support these artists with your follows, favs and, if you can afford it, your finances.
If you do like the writing and/or need more new music, you can find more on my site with the #OPM tag. If you really like the writing, you could always buy me a coffee:
Finished this week's #OPM, it'll go live tomorrow morning (8 am Eastern time). Nice eclectic bunch of tunes this week! House music! Ambient! Weird IDM/breakbeat! Jazz/prog/post-rock! ADHDcore! Find it all tomorrow at:
Or sub to the RSS feed or newsletter so it comes to you!
BTW, if you submitted this week but don't see your music in tomorrow's post, don't worry: I just got A LOT of subs. Yours will be in the next one or two, promise.
Here's the weekly digest thread of my #OPM post: 5 writeups of new (to you, probably) artists and #music for your listening pleasure. #Rock, several flavors of #ambient and #NewAge and more await you within!
Of course, you can read the whole thing, with longer writeups than fit in a single post, here:
Who's got some music they'd like to have heard and written about? Need a few good tracks for this week's write-up. Send me links to what you're currently promoting!
Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
Just finished writing up this week's batch of other people's music (#OPM) blurbs. Got some interesting stuff this week! Filk! Metal! Music from a guy who's played in multiple bands whose names you'd recognize! Several tracks that sound like they belong on a soundtrack to something!
It goes live around 7:30 am Eastern, just in time for #BandcampFriday, and you can subscribe to the blog or my RSS feed if you don't want to miss it:
It's a good way to prep for the next #BandcampFriday, or just meet some of your musical neighbors. Read it here (and be sure to actually listen to some/all of the list!):
Got some pretty interesting submissions this week for #OPM! It'll go live on the blog tomorrow AM and I'll have a thread with a digest version here later in the day.
Feel free to bookmark/follow the feed/subscribe so you don't miss it:
You ready to hear about some #OPM (other people's music)? I'm going to try something different this week and add all of the music I'm covering in one thread, with the blog containing slightly longer versions of all of these linked at the end. LMK what you think of this format.
That's it for this week! I got a few more submissions toward the end of the week, so those will most likely be in next week's entry. I'll post a link to the blog, where I'll have a bit more to say about nearly all of these, tomorrow sometime.
In the meantime, support independent artists by listening, sharing, and when you can swing it, with your hard earned cash.
It's pretty late, but still technically Friday! Here's the blog with all 6 of these writeups, PLUS additional thoughts that wouldn't fit in the Mastodon character limit for nearly all of them.
Today's #PpopWednesday#OPMwednesday is 「Shout For Joy」 by Gary Valenciano. A fitting song after Passover, Resurrection Day, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
An intriguing idea – using old recordings and a Novation Circuit to create an EP - fuels Mental Clutter. The two available tracks show that the idea might be limited but the possibilities sure aren’t. “Wake Up Pollinators” chops up a guitar into a loopy, delirious lofi workout, while “and “A Simple Celebration” is a bright, chipper synth track that channels “Baba O’Riley.”
