One more bump for Bandcamp Friday, which is going for another 7 hours, give or take a few minutes. I have several compositions and some new songwriting stuff up this time at arrangingevinn.bandcamp.com, and you can browse the #furrymusic tag and #bandcampfriday tags for more good stuff. -Ev

One of the demos I debuted today on Friday Feast (which is still going on as of this post). It goes extra sappy. Fitting because it was inspired by a camping/foraging trip with my wife and a friend that involved poking around among the evergreens. -Ev #furrymusic youtu.be/BGMzqCCzxfc

🔴 LIVE! :3 The Friday Feast is here. The waiting room is open. It's an all-you-can-eat music marathon, featuring submissions from indie musicians across the world. Grab a plate and take a seat! twitch.tv/spookybiscui...

Pop over to arrangingevinn.bandcamp.com or www.youtube.com/@ArrangingEvinn and give a follow/subscribe if you want to be notified as soon as new music drops. Midnight Animals remains on hiatus, but I've been releasing Arranging Evinn songs and compositions over the past few months. -Ev #furrymusic

On a related note to the previous skeet, two new songs being released as "Arranging Evinn" this week, debuting on Friday Feast (and maybe stealth debuting on on certain dead raccoon's Twitch stream during song request night.) -Ev

I did, in fact, record those vocals. And then more vocals. Haaaaate my voice, but I just slap "[Demo Mix]" on my songs and magically it no longer matters if I think my vocals suck. -Ev

I sort of doubt anyone following me isn't also following Steve, but if you're not, and you're always asking yourself how to get started with music, this write up will get you pointed in a direction.

ok good morning everyone here's my apparently 32 minute read on how to get started as a musician I spent 14 entire godforsaken hours writing because I'm really fucked up!!!

I want to record vocals but I don't want anyone to hear me recording vocals.

This was supposed to be a simple quartet piece. I don't know what happened. Enjoy some early morning weird pep rally vibes. -Ev #furrymusic youtu.be/MiTj4-RNwE0

hi, cis folks! if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵 reps.fyi

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

If someone's music has left a positive impact on you; please, please say it. Loudly. And if it's an option, tell them directly! I got a message this evening that really just validates what I do and why I do it. And that means the world. I'm so grateful to everyone who spares a moment to listen.

Bandcamp Friday returns. No new MA releases to hype up, but if you've never had a listen, today's a good one for it. midnightanimals.bandcamp.com #furrymusic #bandcampfriday #indiemusic

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS. YOU JUST SHOW UP.

part of my calling in life is to help fans of music learn how to be the best fans of music possible: 1) buy merch and music directly from bands 2) go to local shows, become immersed in your scene 3) talk about music you like to your friends and online 4) give every band you like your email address

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

Pedals all over my feed today. Got me thinking about that which I must have but cannot find and likely could not afford if I found it. www.perfectcircuit.com/eae-prismati...

Found the one guitar pedal that's PERFECT for what we tend to write these days, but it seems to be no longer made and the second hand market wants A LOT for it. Frustrating.

Never in a million years did i think I’d ever be in a situation like this but my aunt has set up a gofundme for me to help get me get through this horrendous situation… itd mean the world to me if you could share this around and donate if at all possible. gofund.me/00d06d37

ending HIV is no longer a question of medical technology but a question of sufficient luigi

Nailed it

Or, in short, the piracy that destroyed artists' well-being wasn't P2P file sharing. It was wage theft and landlords.

Our spending on arts, on creative works made by others, is directly proportional to how much money is left over after rent, and for a long time, there wasn't any left over. After taking out rent and health insurance, there wasn't even enough left for a proper diet, let alone leisure expenditures.

Saw that post about Napster and I just... don't see Napster having been responsible for much other than solidifying the major record labels' near-total ownership of the music industry. But I didn't pull back on music spending because stuff was suddenly free. I pulled back because rent skyrocketed.

Picked up so much new music tonight on Bandcamp thanks to the @spookybiscuits.com stream today! Now if only I'd realized Bandcamp adds tracks to accounts based on payment email. Half of our collection is in one account and the other half is in another account. What a mess!

It's #BandcampFriday again! The day where 100% of the profits go towards the artists! Oh hey! Did you know that I'm one of those musical artists? I make various flavors of #synthwave and released an album a while back called In Flux! diym.bandcamp.com #furry #furrymusic #rubberfur #latexfur

Spookybiscuits’ stream is still going strong. Added several things to my Bandcamp Friday cart specifically from what’s been showcased.

🔴 LIVE! :3 it's BANDCAMP FRIDAY which necessarily means it's time for my BANDCAMP FRIDAY OPEN MIC! we have OVER 40 MUSICIANS who have signed up this month, spanning every genre you can think of. if you're looking for new music, you can find it here! twitch.tv/spookybiscui...
