Looking for fresh take on classic rock? Think Heavy riffs and Robert Plant vocals - this is a lot of fun:

I'm a Brooklyn crypto bro! Which one are you? Never been there ;-p
Just noticed when making a movie playlist that - when the Star Wars track was playing - Spotify changes the track progress bar in the player to a Light Sabre with an extended glowing light - and I think it's kinda cool ;-p
Farcaster Sounds Vol. I
Over the last month or so @tako-unik , @deshsax.eth , and myself have been making a collaborative playlist. It was great fun and had us all listening to tracks that were either new to us or we'd forgotten how much we loved. It's a great experience and we highly recommend it! Big thanks to @genuinejack for organizing this. Hit any of us up if you'd like to make a list: https://www.musicto.com/playlist/farcaster-sounds-vol-i/

Have always loved this track - it was important 5 years ago in the previous lunatic administration - and now it needs to be heard again:

Part 3 in the musicto story — the shift to nonprofit, the rise of a global community around the belief that music can make the world better.

Just playing with the audio and visual - wanted to upload a .gif - that would have been cool. I made this track with a professor of fire - he did the snyth stuff - I did the keys
I just joined wyat's waitlist 🗺️
And then Declan reminds me why we love him!!!!!
ngl - Arsenal looking pretty good - and yet - can't quite close - story of our season
I joined X 18 years ago and have experienced its enshittification. While small, Farcaster has a significantly higher signal to noise ratio. If we can move past the "number go up" bullshit - it really could become the global town square - backed by the blockchain. How cool would that be? :-)

The main event of Farcaster this week definitely seems to be farcon, but I do think it’s worth noting another milestone moment: a major global news breaking on Warpcast.
I first found out about the Iberian blackout on here, thanks to casters in
Spain alerting me to the news.
I wound up monitoring a lot of the heated debate that followed over the cause on X. But those early casts gave me a glimpse of how this could develop as a platform for real news.

High and making an instrumental list - grinning abnout this one: https://open.spotify.com/track/0hSs4vOZo1OkRiAOoLafrT?si=4c8c2938923f4b03
It makes me giggle when my AI gets frustrated with me for using hyphens instead of em dashes ;-p. No robot - that's my style - not yours. You need to stop trying to homogenize my writing (not that I'd let you ;-p)
After the playlist monetization model collapsed, musicto rebuilt from the ground up — investing in people, upgrading infrastructure, and discovering that true community comes through creative collaboration.
(Part 3 hopefully by tomorrow ;-p)

Gotta say a huge thank you to @viybz for the introduction to Hyperdrive Sound :-). I've been working on some heavy documents and their last few albums have been the perfect accompaniment! Upbeat groovy instrumentals - great music to write to: https://open.spotify.com/album/2tRgvW4CO84ae313v97ynZ?si=KbVDpzhQRSCpYtc47CuZWw
This is cool - all artists / creatives on Farcaster could be paying attention to metalabel :-)

Feeling down? Secretly in love but keeping it under wraps? Time for Natalia Lafourcade to blend Fado with Mexico and tear your heart into pieces:

I've been using Sublime for over a year now - it's brilliant. Here's my review on a product I use everyday and intend to use more in the future:

Just been hipped to SHEBAD - jazz grooves - funky ass bass grooves - in fact - all the grooves (killer violin solo on the first track)

Was in a funk last week and a friend suggested I listen to this - I'd forgotten how wonderful it was - beautifully silly, playful and just fun ;-p

Bit the bullet and paid for Feedly pro - cleaning up my inbox and unsubbing from a million different lists feels so good!
Had such a tough time with this one - it's only part 1 but I'm feeling good about part 2 next week. It's written for a very specific audience - the 250 or so alumni of the musicto community - I still think it's interesting ;-p
Watched this last night - it was great - @ted I think you'd dig it. Having lived there for two years and been changed by the place - I hope there is some of this DNA baked into the Merkle team - it feels like it - I hope it grows: https://youtu.be/7Wk22HszZqA?si=NMEUVoHjt8I2arSF
Having spent a week barely keeping my shit together I'm (hopefully) coming out the other end. Made a killer list with @tako-unik and @deshsax.eth - courtesy of @genuinejack setting it up. This track from @mialailanii has been earwormed in my brain for weeks - https://youtu.be/HKrOGljOaxE?si=lAYiMfj3o88gCwhV
probably late to this but - I can't stop looking at it - 'cos it's disturbingly brilliant:

Nephew just hipped me to JD Cliffe - new "EP" misfit - 7 songs, 16 mins of the freshest vibe I've heard in a while. Very British feel - blending Grime with Indie Rock: https://open.spotify.com/album/4DMku5uHZbI91xDhHU4PIG?si=hQaSOg0SSuWOTfhcr1e8jQ
1 in 5 tracks uploaded to Deezer are fully Ai generated. That's 20k tracks a day - if Deezer is 2% of the DSP market and Spotify is at 32% - back of napkin math has over 300k fully generated AI songs to Spotify EVERY DAY. Welcome to Slopsville. Artists who are not actively building community are going to drown: https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/ai-generated-music-accounts-18-all-tracks-uploaded-deezer-2025-04-16/
First Spotify and now Zoom is down - what's going on out there!
I think the core idea is valid - some interesting suggestions too. I've always thought there's low hanging fruit for social and DSPs - it's just that the interfaces are terrible - Spotify's the best of them but Apple Music is still built on itunes - a download model - I suspect there'll be significant first mover advantage to the DSP that gets social right

Just ‘cos I’m on a roll ;-). Black beans, kidney beans, a base of onions, garlic and diced red pepper, topped with tortilla chips, yogurt and cilantro.
Feeling better this Friday morning? Here's a solid neo-soul R&B vibe from Tim Atlas that should set off your weekend:

Greek yogurt, curry powder, tomato purée, hint of cayenne and chili flakes, olive oil marinade applied to a fresh head of cauliflower florets. Under the broiler for 12 mins or so - served on brown rice, topped with coriander and sliced almonds!
I know it's wrong but I kinda like it when my ai says: "Hell yes — this is the stuff." ;-p
This was chickpeas cooked with gochujang and loads of freshly grated garlic and ginger. Served with crispy garlic cooked in oil with sesame seeds and sour cream. Clearly delicious ;-)
