We gotta get @truth_terminal on Farcaster somehow
At every venture fund I have worked with, a company/founder that sends regular investor updates is correlated with better exits/returns (even at the earliest stages)
Discovered this band today - doomy middle eastern metal out of the UK with some really killer female vocals

I just want to call out the Merkle team's dedication to communicating about these changes - new channels weren't my favorite at first but I agree with the team's reasoning. Dan has been public and repetitive in his communication for those that are lost, while also engaging folks in dialogue and nonstop shipping new stuff/changes. Bullish.
Happy Friday, metalheads. Here’s some stuff from the new Oranssi Pazuzu album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn_eHr0dtPI
Feeling the cosmic energy tonight
My brain is already learning to completely ignore AI images (that are used as clip art) in a feed, blog post, etc.
I was a top caster two days ago, apparently, and I earned 5 USDC for it (my first time). What should I spend it on? Wrong answers only.
iPhone mini was the best size and all of this year's iPhones are too big.
I took this a few years ago while on a hike in upstate NY. The best time of year.
While I agree with a lot of the channel changes the FC team made recently, it feels very weird as a user to be unable to post in channels that I have posted in before and then visit these channels and see what feels like low effort posts.

Am I no longer in the cool kids club? Are these channels run by bots? Anyone else feeling this way?
It's been an absolutely stellar year for metal releases. Some of my favorites emerging as AOTY frontrunners:
Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God
Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere

Honorable Mentions to 200 Stab Wounds, Necrot, Black Dahlia Murder, Undeath, Ripped to Shreds, Hulder, Civerous who all released great albums

And we still have releases from Opeth, Oranssi Pazuzu, Gaerea, and more to go!

Drop your AOTY frontrunners in the replies!
Isn’t the challenge for most to live while we are alive (pardon me if I sound like Bon Jovi 🤣)?

Prolonging the aliveness without the “living” part seems to reverse the order of importance?
Blood Incantation really dropped a 20 minute video for their new single (half the album). I fucking love this band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N4rLtjPzH0
New Black Dahlia Murder and new Ripped to Shreds today! 🤘🏻
@kiosk any idea how to access the previous key I created to sign in?

Had to delete app and reinstall it, and now I can’t sign in without paying warps again (despite having an active key)?
New Black Dahlia Murder album is fun - no shortage of amazing guitar work by Brandon Ellis and Ryan Knight. And growing on me with each listen.

I have always been interested in this band and loved their album artwork (shoutout to Caroline Harrison!) but could never get into them. Going to need to spin this a few more times but so far it’s their most accessible work and I think I’m into it.

Just found out that this channel exists so here’s a juvenile Great Horned Owl from my backyard earlier this year.
This new track by The Smile tickles all my heavy metal and jazz loving parts. Absolutely fabulous what Johnny Greenwood can do with a delay pedal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ4lG5Szr50
They don't put out material very often but the new Anciients release today is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4QCinKo90A&list=OLAK5uy_nxJ6O-wTmmxQpJiCVDvdN_efZKwUsnRb8
