Whattup world? It’s Doctor Deathray, and I want you to thrive in this dystopia we live in. It’s not all bad, the people are grand when you find the right ones. And there are so many wonderful critters all around!
A little about me for the new and old followers!
I’m a #musician. I perform as Doctor Deathray with my backing band, the Implements of Destruction. You can find our tunes at https://DoctorDeathray.Bandcamp.com (there is also a hefty back-catalogue there).
I also perform on occasion with Hurly Burly and the Volcanic Fallout. It’s weird, costumed #music that sounds like (and is kinda but not entirely) kids music. You can find that at https://hurlyburlyandthevolcanicfallout.Bandcamp.com
I am A&R for #AnalogRevolution (our record label). We release cassettes and vinyl. We have a cassette subscription service called Cassettes For Me.
I’m also a data and reporting analyst for a day job for now.
If you post something funny, I will boost it if I see it, and I may try to leave you a funny reply. I might fail!
Politics is a topic that I hate and somehow can't stop paying attention to. My political leaning is #liberal#Democrat. I will post and boost news and political topics that are breaking, under reported, and news from my state. I might get a little soap-boxey from time to time or go on a rant. I try to keep that to a minimum.
#Florida is where I call home, so say hello if you are a fellow swamp-dweller! And if you have any #Feditips, send them my way.
@funkwhale is a federated platform for music / podcast sharing. And it's about to get MORE federated!
Lots to unpack, but my favorites are: sharing your stream of listenings/faves to your followers, federating all public content between funkwhale instances (big!), and making the content you share look cool on other platforms (oEmbed, etc.)
#Music Hivemind! Help me make a playlist for a party - mainly tunes from the 80s-90s-00s, for a very mixed-age mixed-interest crowd - looking for suggestions that make you either a) pause conversation and say "aaah I love this song, haven't heard it in ages!" or b) immediately dash to the dance floor.
Boosts appreciated!
Denny Laine, the co-founder of the Moody Blues and Wings, has died at age 79. Here's a tribute to him from @RollingStone, including videos of him performing with Sir Paul McCartney and singing "Live and Let Die."
Growing up, someone was always telling her that she wouldn’t be able to make a living by #writing, regardless of which kind of writing she did. “I said, ‘OK, but what if I do them all?’”
🎫 In 2014 Phil Hutcheon started a concert ticketing business called Dice. The idea was to sell tickets in a way that would support artists and venues while giving punters a fair deal. It's almost impossible to resell tickets bought through Dice for more than you paid for them.

If you're a new/recent follower, hello! Welcome to my feed. I hope you like #independent#music (especially #ElectronicMusic!) recommendations, discussions about the #life of a #musician, music-related #shitposts and the occasional smattering of leftist (pro labor, pro justice, pro human rights, anti racist, anti police, anti fascist) politics.
I'm a good follow if you're looking for #NewMusic or if you're a musician making new music. If you're both, well...
Hey! Do you need any #audio work for your #music or #podcast ? Did you know that I am an accomplished audio engineer, and I'm more than happy to mix or master your project? I'd also love to record/produce your work if you're local!
Available for audio work, guitar overdubs, or songwriting.
I am new here and I write mostly in german, but you can follow me as well when u speak english. Certainly I feel little bit lonely so I hope I find few cool people.
Very sorry to learn that Sinead O’Connor has passed. She endured some tough times yet unapologetically shone a light of power and resonance. An unforgettable artist and truth teller about the Catholic Church. Rest in Power, Sinead. 🙏🏿 #SineadOConnor#RIPSineadOConnor#BlackMastodon#Mastodon#music
Dear #fediverse, looking for new-to-me angry/driving #music. Not heavy vocals, just angry. Please spam me with #song#suggestions (preferably ones I can find on YouTube).
