Here's an example of misuse of a finite resource by putting it in a #disposible product. It's a lollipop that plays music. This might give an hour of entertainment if that. Then it's straight in the bin.

That's more plastic and metal waste leaching into the #environment which needs to be put to better, longer-term use.

Anniversary of Creative Commons 25th in slightly less than 24 hours. If I had planned this better I could have sent it out 25 hours in advice.

All are welcome! You can come and listen or share music. You can also chat via text (or audio) with #downtempo artist Viktor Van Riverr, hip hop musicians Cheese & Pot-C. Maybe they will bring Longjohn! Doubt they will be there the whole time due to timezones, but we shall see!

URL is meet.jit.si/ccmusic

You can inspect the jitsi code at https://sourceforge.net/projects/jitsi-meet.mirror/files/ or https://github.com/jitsi

No login is required (except for moderators, aka me). No audio is required. No video is required.

You can join from any browser or pick up the app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/ (also available from Apple and Google)

Sharing options are a bit different on different platforms.

I'll post the watch/listen URL once it is created. I have tried to get those URLs to work ahead of time and I can't always get it work the way I want of OBS.

We'll be live somewhere at https://www.youtube.com/@friendsofccmusic though. Afterwards, the video should sync to https://dalek.zone/c/cc_community_music_awards/videos but if not I will do it manually. At some point I will get the live stream via PeerTube working but so far I have not had success with that.

There is also work going on to use owncast in the future. @wjmaggos is leading that project if you want to help him out.

If you can't make it, setting up your own event is highly encouraged! You can also join The Bugcast or RynoTheBearded tonight for their weekly celebrations of #ccmusic

If these sorts of get together's sound fun, but January isn't a good time, we help put on a 51-hour music only stream with @wiloma in July for #netlabelday. Never too early to start thinking about #netlabelday2026!

If there are things you would like me to play tomorrow, feel free to send suggestions! No genre limitations. It is a 4 hour event, so probably nothing over 20 minutes, but if you have longer suggestions I can always play a portion. If things thin out after the Asians leave then maybe I will play something long while I hang out and wait for folks. Drop in any time.

If you have questions, let me know! I should probably send this out or that slightly less than 24 hours is no longer going to be true! As always, please boost!

Arcane Synthetic - A New Era & Nothing More: Part I

"This follow up to the debut album, Awaken The Androids is made almost entirely of collaboration tracks."

I am listening to 'Enter The Behelit' by Beast In Black.

It's (very) Power Metal. Kinda even 'Aerobics Class Metal'.

It's very catchy.

(Apparently this is some cross promotion with the video game Diablo.)

First music share post of the year

May I introduce you to Utsu-P? While hardly an obscure producer, he represents the not-quite-mainstream metal side of the VOCALOID community. I've seen his music getting labeled as melodic metalcore, heavy metal, or a variety of other subgenres and fusion genres, but let me just use the broadest terms here. As before, I tried to pick the tracks that are outside the "heavy hitters" list. Three songs featuring Hatsune Miku and three songs utilizing other vocal synthesizers, in release order.

General CW for NSFW themes and flashing imagery.

Utsu-P -デスロウ ⧸ Death of the Law feat. 初音ミク

Utsu-P -映えない ⧸ Not Photogenic feat. 初音ミク

Utsu-P - ぬる ⧸ NULL feat. 初音ミク

Utsu-P - 貼絵 ⧸ Collage feat. 裏命

Utsu-P - 下品 ⧸ Vulgar feat. flower

Utsu-P - KUCHISAKE feat. 重音テト

Hello 🤗

Während die Welt wieder etwas in Gülle badet, habe ich ein 1st World Problem.

Ich stehe schon sehr auf den Klang von #Pagan und #Viking #Metal

... allerdings stehe ich immer wieder vor dem Problem, dass ich keinen Bock habe eine Band zu unterstützen, welche bewusst den rechten Block oder gefährliche Esotherik Spinner unterstützen.

Habt ihr da Tipps oder Listen mit Bands die stabil sind in dem Bereich? 😅

#Heino doesn't look like he used to either 😋 and he doesn't sing himself anymore, he lets others sing for him: 😜
