Spotify is the Bourbons. July 14, we fuck their shit up. #netlabelday2026

RE: https://mastodon.social/@musicman/116875981844663434 the closer we get to #netlabelday2026 without the sheet being filled, the more unhinged my posts are going to get. Pretty soon I am going to begging people to play whatever the #ccmusic version of Kid Rock is. if that is not the timeline […]

#europeans and #australian night owls, there are some prime DJ spots on 13th. There is nothing holy about July 14. No gods, no masters. ...Or play an hour of Christian music. Turn #ccmusic into contemporary Christian for an hour. Stick it to the man! Then follow it up by an hour of […]

Brain is absolutely done, but if I lay down my wife will be like "See, I told you you had a virus" and therefore, I must persevere.

8 days away from #netlabelday2026. Need folks to sign up for stream: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ALqXQFUNIoFAfaeAXtWKb3pxK_3YZjSP7r2LCb8lu9w/edit?gid=777964345#gid=777964345 Going to give some logistics this time: 1. Regular DJ stuff. Talk between tracks. 2. Or don't. Maximum […]

9 days away from #netlabelday2026. Need some folks to sign up for the stream: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ALqXQFUNIoFAfaeAXtWKb3pxK_3YZjSP7r2LCb8lu9w/edit?gid=777964345#gid=777964345 #netlabels #ccmusic #netnativemusic Any genre! #hiphop #piano #classical #bonkwave #downtempo […]

@alien23 do we know what it would cost to host a mastodon instance for #ccmusic folks?

There's a lot of talk about people wanting human interaction, but not a lot of humans signing up for #netlabelday2026 DJ slots. You can pre-record if you are busy during the week. Play music from @freemusicarchive#netlabelday2026 Jamendo, ccmixter, artist websites, or of course #netlabels A label is an […]

sorta already posted about #netlabelday today, but I didn't leave the sign-up link or really talk about the event. This is a community participation event. No talent is needed, though we have some talented DJs lined up! Not sure where to find music for the event? Check out […]

A shirt thread... Not sure when this is, but it's a cool idea. Not so much the vinyl specifically but the analog piece. And this is about DJing but I wonder if you could do a show that was acoustic, vinyl, and tape. No time to plan something this year but maybe next year. I have thoughts […]

#netlabelday2026 is two weeks away. #music #ccmusic #netnativemusic #netlabelday

good, but also the whole thing is ridiculous: https://www.linuxtoday.com/blog/california-bill-adds-open-source-carve-out-to-age-verification-rules/

some streams include data that allows the app to know what songs were played. so #tunefm keeps track of what songs were played, providing a link to Spotify. but imagine if instead the app also played songs directly from a musician's site via #canimus. if the app was not only a radio but a […]

I hope things continue to go well. So far, it doesn't seem like Dementia Don is getting any bump for it so yay for that.

@alien23 idk how often Viktor is checking @friendsofccmusic_ru but you can find him there. I will send a reminder in the Discord about tomorrow. @Cheesetruck is in the fediverse as well. I think this link will get you directly in the Discord for the next 30 days if you are into that sort of […]

Some interesting thoughts here for @friendsofccmusic and @netlabelday #netlabelday Part of the problem with the benevolent dictator philosophy though is that when the community is your full time job you have the time to actually come up with good policies whereas when everyone is a volunteer […]

I was wondering if Thebes was a Greek settlement in Egypt or something...nope, the Greeks just called "wꜣs.t" or "njw.t-jmn" or "Waset" "Thebes" for...well, it seems no one knows because the timeline of old explanations doesn't make sense. if you're curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thebes […]

RE: https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/116806117046568161 for Americans, 3C is 5.4F...which I never realized because...well, I never really thought about it, I just knew the lines crossed at -40. If you have never experienced -40....zero stars. Do not recommend.

brain is dead, but I have managed to actually more-or-less feel done with stuff 40ish minutes earlier than normal. I think this is largely because a meeting that is usually on Wednesdays was moved to yesterday...which was very stressful yesterday.

Has anyone ever made a #halloween or Mad Scientist themed restaurant called "Frank and Stein" because...why not?

Spectra currently stores 7.5 TB of videos. As our costs continue to rise, we need to make a serious decision about the long-term viability of our platform and operations. One thing we are thinking seriously about is defaulting to a set per-account upload limit, with the ability to pay for […]

This is a good watch whether you are a skeptic or a tokenmaxxer and anywhere along that spectrum: https://youtu.be/0RxMj0L0-fY?is=HyLZauXqyxaRO3lU

What's going on next weekend in #minneapolis ?

I dont know that "grief" is the right word, but the process of moving to a new project after you complete a big one is...weird.

I am not that into esoterica but one of my cats hates the vet with a passion troubling to everyone. It's very obviously traumatic for him and the only thing that happened to him was he got some cat junk food. We gave him his shot at home (my wife is a physician and we've been going to this vet […]

Sverige needs to make a change ASAP or this is going to get out of hand.

The relentless march toward death continues...

@alien23 Would you be able to write some sort of technology use document for @friendsofccmusic? We've always been sort of vaguely anti-corporate by our nature, but there's the pull of YouTube for ease of recording and if you just completely cut off the outside world, how does the outside world […]

Curious if folks think it would be worth purchasing ads for #netlabelday either this year or in the future, and if so, where? What @netlabelday#netlabeldayreally needs is volunteers. I've already posted about being a DJ today, so I am not going to do that again today, but that was 9 hours ago. Perhaps I […]

Fox's purchase of Roku gives them a landing spot if cable implodes (as I expect), and could easily be weaponized to restrict competition, surveil on viewers and widen its conservative news dominance. Don't sleep on this. From me: prospect.org/2026/06/16/f...

Still a fave... #mastodon #fediverse #comics

Netlabels Assemble! ...and #netlabel lovers & netlabel #musicians. On Sunday, August 16, we will have the 1st ever Netlabel Assembly. This should be far enough away from Netlabel Day for folks to have reflected on the event. If we did this right after Netlabel Day then people would be overly […]

Looked like a weak call but as a defender you really can't go from behind in that situation. #canvqat

it's early days, but this latest Samsung update seems to have borderline bricked my phone...

I know a lot of people were waiting for quote toots but one thing that immediately irritated me about 4.5 is that boosting now takes 2 clicks by default. That's a 50% reduction in boost efficiency! If you are like me and find that kind efficiency hit unacceptable, you can enable quick boosting […]

Jalen Brunson left ~$113M on the table so the Knicks could keep their core. This weekend they won it all — their first title in 53 years. When the guy at the top takes less, everybody eats. My love letter to the champion Knicks and what they teach the rest of us: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Well, I am off vacation which means back to the multiple whey shakes a day. Could definitely be worse and there's little doubt things have improved substantially since I started tracking food, but...good lord I drink a lot of whey shakes
