I took the easy way out for Mastodon with a managed host because I wanted to open it up to toher folks. But I did self host it for a bit and it was fine. Pleroma was a bit more to my liking, but Mastodon won out.
A couple of weeks ago, I did set up my Lemmy instance on a single core, 1GB RAM, 10GB HDD VPS. I’m not subscribed to a ton of communities and haven’t bothered with the different seeding scripts. So far so good though! I’m really happy with it.
I have a livestream studio where I host bands for live performances and interviews and also run radio shows that play music from unsigned or DIY labeled bands....
Oh dang! For years, I hosted a local music radio show. Usually having the artists in to perform live, but sometimes just playing recordings. I’ve had to step away some in the last few years for my own sanity.
We have a lot of great music up here in Maine and I’m always interested in hearing what is happening elsewhere. Will definitely check this out.
I got lucky to have a film student doing work study for a while, but aside from the handful he did, all other video is really from the guests themselves. But the show audio is posted online each week if you ever want to check it out - www.wmpg.org/show/wed1930/
I’m going to bang on about this band again. So much to like, the harmonies, Jodi’s Rickenbacker, the heart shaped tuning pegs on Trish’s bass. They were part of the original Australian boom in “alternative” music and I cherish several of the recordings I own. Strangely, I never saw them live, which is why I quite enjoy...
I found this CD digging through stacks of random early 90s albums a couple years ago. This is the first track. As far as I can tell, I think this is their only full CD, with a few vinyl EPs before it. They were a Boston-area band and … that’s really about all I know. But it’s a great tune.
I’m at a stage where I want new-to-me music, but not necessarily current music. I’ve been diving into lesser known songs and artists from the hair band and grunge days. Tons of good things I’ve never heard.
I think I’ve technically seen them 3 times, but once was as Beck’s band. First time for me though, they were opening for Candlebox right around the time She Don’t Use Jelly hit. MUCH different than Wayne in a bubble shows.
They’re a band whose work might not always click with me, but it’s always worth hearing because you know they are truly doing whatever the hell they want.
I wonder if I still have that 24 hour song around somewhere…

Well this is cool. Now time for me to a media server again.
Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha, Norman Cook Mix (1998) (yewtu.be)
Apart from being a damn catchy tune, I find this song to be really interesting from a popular culture perspective on a few levels.

Self hosting a Lemmy instance for just myself?
Heya, I’m trying out Lemmy and kinda like the idea of hosting a Lemmy instance just for me....

1993… the year I fell in love with Tanya Donelly. We’ve been together ever since, she just doesn’t know about it.
