** Please be advised all RFF channels will be down for a few minutes shortly. **

Nothing bad, just care and feeding and some setup for what's next while also winding down the current pop-up channel.

Apologies to listeners but your great listenership means there is never really a time we can do such work and sadly not pause some vibes for friends.

Station music update will follow this work. In the interim please enjoy this thread.

bittersweetdb,

@radiofreefedi @sknob Speaking as one of the FediVision artists, I can’t even express the thrill of clicking on my RFF tab in my browser and seeing that my own lame tune is playing! Thank you so much for making the effort for this to happen! I think you completely rock!

bittersweetdb,

@radiofreefedi @sknob Absolutely! I am learning the schedule for the specialty channel, there’s some great stuff there!

Is it bad fediquette to delete a toot when you find out that reply has pretty much been done 10x already and the person replied to it several times?

Because I might have just done that.

bittersweetdb,

@n3wjack I think it’s fine—or you can always edit to add that you noticed your thought wasn’t original or something, I guess?

I wanted to talk about my process voting in . My first shortlist was 32 songs! My second was, with difficulty, shortened to 22, including many mutuals + friends. Then I had to be ruthless, and my third cull came to 14: UDIL MOUL EMPW ASYN CYBE BINK ELAN BLAH KRIS TASS COBA BELT NOTH and HEJT, all very good songs, including lots of bangers, clever lyrics, and catchy bits.

I ended up with BELT, COBA, and CYBE.

I salute all 71 of you, though: thanks for making my choice so hard!

Fedizens, a little about my entry: it’s called “In the Wind,” and you can hear it here until Sunday https://fedivision.party/#ODTH (or listen on https://radiofreefedi.net). It’s also on bandcamp! https://bittersweetdb.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-wind-fedivision-2024-edit

It’s a 6/8, 90 bpm instrumental with synths, distorted/feedback guitar and drony vocals. My guitar is a custom Crowfoot Electric by @Splitcoil, and you should check him out!

Israel’s military is tipping off far-right settler terrorists to the location of aid trucks delivering vital supplies to Gaza to block delivery.

This. Is. A. War. Crime.

Israel is claiming “Hamas” is diverting aid. That is a claim all relief agencies reject. US officials also state Israel has offered no evidence to support allegations that Hamas is diverting aid.

Imagine being more upset at ICC for prosecuting this than at the famine its enabling: https://t.co/t9umHxFsUQ

Can two blue-eyed parents have three brown-eyed kids? I didn’t take that class but it seems …

@n3wjack Aha! Thanks!

My bonkwave song isn’t part of this and I don’t know a darn thing about remixing so I didn’t participate, BUT you should listen to the efforts of all of my Magnificent Comrades in Bonk!! #bonkwave #remixes #MagnificentComradesInBonk https://ravenation.club/@socool/112417559747692299

It's Friday time!

Here's the first question:

The first crewed launch of Boeing's new reusable spacecraft was scrubbed again on May 6 because of issues with its booster rocket. What is Boeing's spacecraft named?

Check your answer and see how well you've been following the news, here: https://theconversation.com/the-conversation-u-s-weekly-news-quiz-189437b
(It's a tougher than usual quiz this week, but we're not aiming at the level of users)

bittersweetdb,

@TheConversationUS You know that you can edit your original post, and include a note about it

I am so hyped about my entry 😹 It's not really like much of my other stuff, and definitely not like last year's entry. I might eventually add lyrics and melody, but I like its groove as-is. Hopefully others do, too!

bittersweetdb,

@kissane Gosh, just opened bluesky and saw that it’s really your social home! I know many other twitter pals are there but…has the damn app improved to usability? or are there third party apps? also, I do heart the fedi, for all its faults. I mean, it’s FediVision season!

    @limebar @flockofnazguls This and Geogaddi were my go-to dinner party music in the early 2000s, which maybe sounds lame, but it was just the perfect style of sound for good cooking 😹

    for Monday 😴

    Peaches! Peach trifecta edition.

    1. Last week I discovered the local store was having a sale of peaches from Egypt so I bought a carton. When I got home I discovered to my delight they were YELLOW PEACHES. To explain, whenever there's stone fruit season, locally they tend to stock only white peaches when I really prefer the more tart and juicy kind (aka yellow peaches) which I had in abundance in Australia. So I went back the next day and bought another two cartons. 😹
    2. The local pharmacy's store brand body shower had peach scented variant which possesses all the things more upmarket brands could not give me. Also at a member's only discount of...RM8. For a TALL BOTTLE.
    3. Peach and coconut scented candle is burning right now to complete my peach fragrance bliss.

    Guess how much I love peaches.

    @3goodthings

    @mythopoetica @3goodthings If you have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, they have a freezer bowl and stirrer combo that makes OK ice cream with a smaller investment of space (and $) than a single-purpose machine :)

    Hey @etherdiver, you're in SoCal now, right? Do you ever perform live? (I'm on the organizing committee for Wonder Valley Experimental Music Fest, and I think you could be a cool addition!)

    The mv for "Crooked" was released on Sep 4, 2013 and filmed in .

    It had a budget of about 3x larger than the record company's usual music videos.

    He runs through the London Tube while causing fights and destruction at clubs, including Cargo bar in Shoreditch closed in 2022 due to… too many fights!

    bittersweetdb,

    @AnnaAnthro Not sure whether you’re taking the piss, but you could edit out the UK before punk bands 🤷‍♀️ For all I know there WAS a UK Black Flag.
