I know lots of us have other favourite artists, and eagerly await their new releases, so I thought it might be cool to have a place to celebrate those too....
So I wrote Stupid in my late teens and would play it on occasion in company. The usual first response is "You don't actually think you're stupid, do you?"
I didn't really know how to respond to that. The song is about myself, yes, but I don't think I'm stupid... most of the time. Because, sometimes I was made to feel stupid, because I'd forget stuff, or be absent minded. In fact, all the verses are about how others sometimes made me feel. I didn't know it at the time - it was decades later that I made the connection - that I was writing about ADHD.... I assume... I've never gone and got diagnosed. Anyway, shut up, I'm not stupid. Here's my song I just re-recorded. If this was a new song, I'd wait till it was released before tooting it, but an old, terrible version has been up on Soundcloud for over two years. It's gone now, and this is the new updated version. I'll have to pick a date in February to release it to all the streamy places.
Edit: Date picked. Stupid will go live on all the other streamy places on the 16th February, 2024.
Good morning #Fediverse it’s time for some #NewMusic with #FletchsFridayReleases and as always there is a lot to get involved with. I would particularly recommend Vorga from the ones I’ve heard. I am also excited to check out new Coffins.
I did review the new Brodequin album, Harbinger of Woe, out tomorrow but we haven’t been able to put it on the website yet so I’ll post it here in thread form…
Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
According to Vox, it's impossible to be neutral on Taylor Swift because the discourse surrounding her is so pervasive. We've added to the chatter by curating a @Flipboard Storyboard about the arrival of her 11th studio album, "Tortured Poets Department," and we also want to know: How do you feel about Swift?
I finally managed to sit and listen to Dual from The Rose a couple of times .. and it is indeed pretty awesome. Why did it take me so long .. stupid sickness! 😠
Today my favourite track is Nauseous .. the lyrics are clever, the synths, the vocal harmonies .. and how can you not like a cute song about tummy aches! 💜
This new track from Aurora is great. I love her music, her voice, her writing, and her overall approach to pop music. I'm not sure if there's a name for this style of pop but I love it, reminds me of The Cranberries.
Here's the weekly digest thread of my #OPM post: 5 writeups of new (to you, probably) artists and #music for your listening pleasure. #Rock, several flavors of #ambient and #NewAge and more await you within!
Of course, you can read the whole thing, with longer writeups than fit in a single post, here:
