  1. Feeling pretty thankful for the Fediverse and the people I’ve connected with here. It’s been a breath of light in a world that seems to continue to grow darker. I love how we have all these different communities with different interests all working in parallel to make the Fedi the inclusive and welcoming space that I look forward to catching up on every day.

    One of my songs was featured in the opening titles of a fun new short film that @megaultra worked on recently for a film festival. I’ve also been fortunate enough to connect with an Australian artist this year who invited me to score their short film which was a fun little project too. I’ll post links to those projects when they become publicly available.

    I released my debut solo album which has been well received on the Fediverse by fellow artists and #DgarHeads alike, which is awesome. @brothersoul very kindly hosted a Bandcamp launch party for my album on @labr and a few amazing Fedizens even purchased it on vinyl!

    The #Bandcamp launch party was great, and it inspired a new show on #LABR specifically to promote indie musicians on Bandcamp Fridays. Brother Soul, @DJUpNorth , @darkwolf , and I’m sure a few more that I have failed to mention, have all been working hard to create this show. It’s an opportunity for fellow Fedi artists to share their music and have their songs featured on LABR played live on #BandcampFriday, in a show that you can link to, share, or download for later from the LABR replay page.

    Anyway, I feel like these are all good things. Good things happening on the Fediverse. There’s a really cool underground music scene here and it’s such a privilege to be a part of it and have the opportunity to contribute.

    Feeling pretty thankful indeed.

  2. Looking to get into #DgarMusic but don’t know where to start?

    Not sure which #Dgar song is right for you?

    Here’s a handy #Dgarheads guide to help you choose your special track!

    Looking for a good pub rock song with rip-your-face-off guitars and sing-along chorus? Try the heavy-rock sounds of “Proud Woman”.

    ffm.to/dgarproudwoman

    Perhaps something more orchestral is to your liking? I offer you the instrumental “Icarus”.

    ffm.to/dgaricarus

    If you enjoy a little synth in your rock, there’s the Mastodon Monday favourite “It’s Always Monday On The Moon”.

    ffm.to/dgaritsalwaysmondayonth

    Maybe you’re in the mood for a good soppy love song? I’ve got you covered… in pure sop. Just me and a clean Fender Stratocaster with “Cilla”

    soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/cilla

    How about a dark emotional bass number with “Only the Music”?

    ffm.to/dgaronlythemusic

    Or a poppin’ pop song might be what you’re craving. “Space Pop” even!

    ffm.to/dgarspacepop

    No? Ummm… oh! I know! Driving rock song! “Little Black Hatchback” with the synth solo and vroom vroom car sounds…

    ffm.to/dgarlittleblackhatchbac

    Still no? Okay then. Stoner rock!! You like that right? “Gettin’ Stoned”.

    ffm.to/dgargettinstoned

    Rebellious grunge? There’s “Flat World” which has nothing to do with Flat Earth, in case anyone was thinking that.

    ffm.to/dgarflatworld

    Well okay, it does go a bit progressive-rock with “Splinter In The Minds Eye”.

    soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/splin

    Greek Mythology? There’s a bit of that with “Daedalus”.

    ffm.to/dgardaedalus

    Okay, how about an angry angsty thrashy breakup song? “Anymore”

    soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/anymo

    Alright, I’m running out of songs here… surely I can find something for you… umm. The space-rock song that fails to answer that age old question of ‘what she said’ - “Airlock”

    ffm.to/dgarairlock

    My ‘Indie Musician Anthem’ with rock guitar, two-note guitar solo, and mosh-dance bass? “Digital Busker”

    ffm.to/dgardigitalbusker

    This is “Stupid”.

    ffm.to/dgarstupid

    There is one more. If you like punk rock songs about zombies, that is, you can listen to “All Zombies Go To Heaven” which won 3rd place in the Annual #Fedivision Song Contest 2024!

    ffm.to/dgarzombies

    I hope you found something you enjoy! If you did, let me know! Stay tuned, there’s more to come!

    Here’s my last hope. This is “Stupid”.
    songwhip.com/dgar/stupid2024

    Well, there is one more. If you like punk rock songs about zombies, that is, but you’ll need to wait for Fedivision 2024 to start before you can listen to “All Zombies Go To Heaven”.

    And if you didn’t like anything here, make sure you check out all the other #Fedivision contestants with their massive range of genres and styles of music. Check the hashtag for the latest #Fedivision2024 updates!

  5. #Dgar mutters under their breath about how useless corporate advertising is… ugh, they didn’t even mention anything about the Zombie song I wrote for #Fedivision… or that #Dgarheads can vote DIZZ when voting opens on Sunday to support the #DgarMusic entry!
    Useless I say, utterly useless!!

  7. If anyone is planning anything for Weed Day this Saturday, 20th April (4/20), and you’re looking for something to put on your Weed Day song playlist, I have something that may just fit the bill.

    Gettin Stoned (feat. Andre Louis) will be coming out this Friday on Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, and all the other streamy places, just in time for you to add it to your Saturday playlist. Be sure to give @Onj a follow!! He did an awesome job on the drums for this track and is a general, all-round legend!

    As all #Dgarheads know, the original, full-quality wav file for every #DgarMusic track is available for download from their respective Soundcloud page, which you can then convert to your favourite format and play it on any device you choose.

    Want to listen to it now? Okay then! Here it is on #Soundcloud!

  8. I was listening to my own music last night, which is not unusual, I listen to my own music quite a bit. I like it. But as I listened to it last night, I began to view it for the first time as a body of work. I’m not sure what it was before that moment, but as I played through the almost-hour long collection of my original songs, I was struck with the feeling that this is… a thing, a representation of something, I’m not sure what. I’m usually good with words, but I’m finding it difficult to describe the shift I felt. I know I must continue to add to this body of work, and that the work must stay true to itself. Music for the sake of music, and tunes that I personally enjoy listening to over and over again. I’m not sure if it was because I’d just binged on Ween, or maybe had too much sugar, but it was like an epiphany, and The Dgar Project has taken a new seat in my own consciousness. I am a songwriter, and this year, I’m writing songs.

    Here’s the link if you’d like to open up the #Dgar for yourself and see what’s inside.

  9. I have a playlist on Soundcloud of my own original rock music and I’d love for you to check it out, preferably on some good speakers, up loud. I’m really proud of this, and would love to hear what you think.

    If you have “I like music” in your profile, you must listen. It’s the law!! 🫶

    Boosts very much appreciated! 🤗

  10. My treasured, most excellent followers, amazing fedizens, mischief-makers, music-lovers, and creatures of multiverse. I’m excited!

    Today, under the light of a full moon, I present to you, a brand new Dgar song! Airlock is out now!!

    Also, I have bonus shenanigans.

    I’d like to give some algorithms a good punch in the face, and shock them into noticing this, my first new release of the year. If you would be generous enough to give my new track a play (or three) on your favourite streaming service (and your second and third favourite streaming service if you’re up for it), I would very much appreciate it.

    This experiment will need a lot of people, so please don’t scroll by. I really do need your help to do this. It’s a short song, a bit over two and a half minutes, and I’m really excited for you to hear it!

    It’s my dream that I can spend my days making music and sharing bad jokes for all you beautiful beings. I’m working hard right now to release at least one new song per month for 2024. The goal is to supplement the income from my part-time job, at least enough that I don’t need to get a second job.

    Additionally, if we can make a meaningful impact on a song release with this kind of action, I’d love if we were able to help other musicians and songwriters of Mastodon with their song launches in the future. Perhaps we can come up with a hashtag for this kind of mission? Please leave your thoughts, suggestions, and expert knowledge in the comments.

    I’ll pin this toot, and share the insights, stats, and relevant results for this experiment in the comments as they become available.

    Thank you for your help in my attempt at breaking the interwebs. Hopefully we can give some algorithms something to think about!

    Boosts are very much welcome and appreciated! I adore those favourites and likes too!

    Big love, hugs, and belly raspberries!!

    Your Digital Busker,

  12. #DgarRadio now has a #playlist on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music called #DgarRadio, which contains every song #Dgar has tooted with the “#Dgar Now listening to:” opening line, including all the #MastodonMusic from original #indie #artists here on #Mastodon that I've tooted (well, what I could find on #YouTube, #Spotify and #AppleMusic). #DgarRadio is not to be confused with "Dgar Radio", the algorithmic playlist created by AI. Please follow my quirky list of music, hand chosen by me, pretty much in the order I've tooted them, which includes #DgarMusic and #MusiciansOfMastodon and all the music I've tooted here with the “#Dgar Now listening to:” opening line. I spent hours trawling though my timeline and creating these playlists, as requested, and following the playlists supports me and all the artists on it. I'm just repeating myself now, so here's the links. Enjoy the hits, nostalgia rushes, weird jams, and indie music!! Big love to you all!! #Dgarheads
