It's a good way to prep for the next #BandcampFriday, or just meet some of your musical neighbors. Read it here (and be sure to actually listen to some/all of the list!):
Got some pretty interesting submissions this week for #OPM! It'll go live on the blog tomorrow AM and I'll have a thread with a digest version here later in the day.

Here in Australia, as you probably know, it’s the future. So it’s Weed Day, 20th April, 4/20 already here. :420: :420leaf:
#Dgar has released a new track for those who celebrate, called Gettin Stoned, a collaboration with Andre Louis (@Onj).
Last time I announced a release at midnight like this, there were issues with people not being able to play the song until the release date reached their time zone, which was annoying. This time, I hacked the system and released it a day early, so I feel comfortable that everyone should be able to play it immediately.
I present to you the latest in #DgarMusic!
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.
If you’re looking for a #FridayNight#playlist with a wide variety of #music from radio smash hits to obscure psychedelia, weird and unique music from a heap of #MusiciansOfMastodon, and of course my own #DgarMusic for good measure, try putting on the #DgarRadio playlist on shuffle and turn it up! 🎵 🔊
I decided to post an introduction, let's say, once per month with the objective of reaching as many people as possible who might be interested in what I do 🙃
My name is Luca, I'm a drummer and IT professional from Italy, currently based in the Czech Republic.
We headed to the beach
And we chased the tide
We watched the sea
And the sun collide
We put some dolphin stickers
On the sides
Of our little black hatchback
And go for ride.
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.
