Hello new folks! There's a lot of you recently, so I thought I'd do an #intro post. I'm an independent #musician who uses Mastodon to spread the word about #IndependentMusic --my own, and the work of others! If you #follow, you'll get lots of recommendations of new, #independent, #underground#music of all kinds! My own favorite is weird #ElectronicMusic, but I listen to and write about all kinds of music.
There's no #BandcampFriday this month but don't let that stop you from supporting #independent#music! Bandcamp's fees are actually very reasonable, and musicians need the money even more when there aren't events reminding people to spend some money. So, hey! Spend some money at Bandcamp this month!
My usual request is you spend the same amount you usually spend on music streaming, which is a pittance for most of us! Match those funds!
Today it’s the third day since I moved to #Berlin.
I spent the first two days getting things sorted, cleaning and setting up the house, and getting acquainted with this incredible city.
Now that the basic things are out of the way, I am starting my tour of Berlin’s hackerspaces.
I want to get to know the city by connecting to its #independent, #communal, #anarchist, #cyberpunk spaces. I believe hackerspaces are the best way to do so. There are too many, it is wonderful and overwhelming at the same time. I love it.
My first stop has been #xHain, the hackerspace closest to where I live, in Friedrichshain.
It seems like exploring a dreamland. Not exaggerating: this #hackerspace embodies my greatest ideals and dreams.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is dropping out of the Democratic primary race against Joe Biden to launch an independent campaign for president next year, he said in a speech on Monday....
If you're a new/recent follower, hello! Welcome to my feed. I hope you like #independent#music (especially #ElectronicMusic!) recommendations, discussions about the #life of a #musician, music-related #shitposts and the occasional smattering of leftist (pro labor, pro justice, pro human rights, anti racist, anti police, anti fascist) politics.
I'm a good follow if you're looking for #NewMusic or if you're a musician making new music. If you're both, well...
It would seem that because I oppose the 'core British value' of the #monarchy and support transition to a #republic, the #Tory government in Westminster consider me an #extremist.
30 years ago, one decision altered the course of our connected world
On April 30, 1993, the World Wide Web was released into the public domain. It revolutionized the internet and allowed users to create websites filled with graphics, audio and hyperlinks.
"I am just amazed that we have four prosecutors who are Democrats running four cases in four different jurisdictions,” marveled #HughHewitt
The problem, Hugh, is that you're a moron. #JackSmith isn't a #Democrat. He's an #independent who has never been associated with either the #Republican or #Democratic party. Considering that you comment on #politics for a living, it would be nice if you could take the time to actually learn the #facts before spewing your opinions.
I define emotional engagement as being made to laugh a lot, be anxious in a good way, or straight up bawl my eyes out. If it makes me think about the narrative years later, than it is in my top VN....
All the warmth
Pilfered from light
Reflected cold
pulled from particle
Lulled from wave
Such an end
To a violent
Inception
Rendered
Half asleep
Rendered
Meaningless
And again
Absconded
Against The skin
A lovelorn
Touch
93 million
Miles in the Making.”
This Wednesday, May 3, on my @WFMU radio show I’m excited to bring you a live set from Sacred Bones recording artists Constant Smiles! Here’s a little preview… my show starts at noon EDT, I’ll air the session at around 1pm.
