I have a playlist on Soundcloud of my own original rock music and I’d love for you to check it out, preferably on some good speakers, up loud. I’m really proud of this, and would love to hear what you think.
If you have “I like music” in your profile, you must listen. It’s the law!! 🫶

It's a Friday where I can work from home and try and get stuff done, so a random CD pick out of my shelf to listen to; today's winner is 'Make Another World', Idlewild's 2007 album. Not as iconic as some of their earlier albums, yet a very solid melodic & rock work. #CDFriday
🆕 post -- Revenue retrospect: 5 years of indie blogging
As a full-time #indie#blogger, 2023 was a wake-up call. To explain, I'm sharing my site revenues over the past 5 full calendar years, along with the outside factors that made the most impact.
They tell a sad story but: I am grateful that I've been able to write for a living as long as I have.
Great plan #Dgar. Release your new track on the same day that Taylor Swift drops her new album. Brilliant. Oh, and The Wiggles dropped an album too? Great. That’s just great.
@bookstodon Hey, I love me some Penguin Random House as much as the next reader, but I'm also interested in the indies, which are usually more daring than the Big Five.

I was listening to my own music last night, which is not unusual, I listen to my own music quite a bit. I like it. But as I listened to it last night, I began to view it for the first time as a body of work. I’m not sure what it was before that moment, but as I played through the almost-hour long collection of my original songs, I was struck with the feeling that this is… a thing, a representation of something, I’m not sure what. I’m usually good with words, but I’m finding it difficult to describe the shift I felt. I know I must continue to add to this body of work, and that the work must stay true to itself. Music for the sake of music, and tunes that I personally enjoy listening to over and over again. I’m not sure if it was because I’d just binged on Ween, or maybe had too much sugar, but it was like an epiphany, and The Dgar Project has taken a new seat in my own consciousness. I am a songwriter, and this year, I’m writing songs.
Here’s the link if you’d like to open up the #Dgar for yourself and see what’s inside.
Ich wünsche euch einen schönen #Samstag meine #Mastonauten und #Gamer:innen, gestern haben wir live auf #Twitch#Coromon beendet.

I remember growing up playing Nintendo games up and other AAA games until I started watching YT. Particular TB and adjacent YouTubers....
