Hey everyone! We've begun adding our catalog to Mirlo. So if you are a user and want to hear some indie rock infused old timey banjo songs, head over to:

There are also a couple other EPs available including the #FediVision2024 runner up "New Rage"
I was still a bit of a fledgling musician when @radiofreefedi came along. I’d been away from making music for 25 years and I’d just started re-recording my non-awful teenager songs. RFF was nonetheless happy to include them in the playlist.
Last year the songwriting muse returned and RFF was a willing guinea pig, er, hamster, and gracefully included it as a station exclusive. It was a welcome confidence boost.
RFF helped to make the #Fedivision2024 event an unforgettable party, popping up an entire radio channel playing the four hours of entries over and over and
Back in August this year there was an amazing series of livestreamed performances by Fedi artists and I thought I’d give it a try. I’d never done anything like this before. I did _two in one day_, and thanks to somebody’s comment in the chat, you’re now getting the Christmas song you wanted, to be released this November on RFF.
RFF’s hamster tirelessly helped me with the production of this Christmas song, patiently helping me to understand the loudness wars I’d never participated in.
So many other little things too, I cannot count them.
#ThanksRFF, you’ve been a shining beacon for me and I’ll always remember you fondly.
Those of you who enjoyed (or otherwise) my musical warblings on #fedivision2024 and/or #bandcamp may be surprised (or even interested) to know that I can actually play the #guitar 🙂

This is one of my favoutire things I've ever written. I love italian #Giallo films, so I wrote my own twisted sordid murder mystery story as a sort of bouncy, #folk rock pop song! Although there's a bit of #garage type crunch in the chorus!
(also unlike it's inspiration, it takes place entirely from the killer's perspective. I hope any Giallo purists can forgive me!)
Fun fact, I actually recorded it for #fedivision2024 earlier this year!
It’s #MusiciansDay 🌐, so here’s what I’ve published so far😃
https://chubster.bandcamp.com
That’s Life is a pop-rock ballad telling the story of a life in a song (plus a joke or two). It was my #fedivision2024 entry.
Test-Tube Baby is a comedic folkabilly romp through the trials and tribulations of having been conceived without sex.
I should prepare my talk for #BerlinFediday . I should also prepare my music performance for the after party – happening right after the #fedivision2024 legend @[email protected] .
But my brain convinced me to make a stupid ad instead. So here is the ad.
:-)
see you @ @[email protected] !
Oh, I forgot to mention… that guitar bit right after the first verse is supposed to be accompanied by an interpretive dance, if that helps.
All Zombies Go To Heaven

*3rd place in #Fedivision2024

And here’s a polished version of my #fedivision2024 entry.
Since it’s #BandcampFriday and this is the first Friday I can do this, here’s a more polished version of my #fedivision2024 entry 😃
Have you heard my most recent song? It placed third in #Fedivision2024!

This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for and/or dreading.
I’m now on Bandcamp with 5 songs (so far). Check them out here!
https://chubster.bandcamp.com
This includes my #fedivision2024 entry “That’s Life” (tidied up and polished), “Test-Tube Baby” - a folkabilly romp through the tribulations of being conceived without sex 😃, “Everything Else” - a psychedelic rock something-or-other, an old one I recorded with my band in the 80s, and a new heavy metal comedy song called “Pheromones”.
Enjoy!
My most recent song is about Zombies. No one has ever suggested that I may have been making a political statement when I entered it into #Fedivision2024.
It’s just some fun #DgarMusic
✌️😁🤘
Let’s have a closer look at the songs on “The Stars are Ours” by Skyalrk Duquesne!
First up is the acoustic pop song that was featured in the #fedivision2024 event, but here extended to include a moody, dramatic, synth openener. It’s “Daybreak—2250 A.D. + Postmarked the Stars” please reply or comment if you like it!

"Open Your Eyes" (FediVision 2024 Lyric Video - VOTE "KAST")
https://makertube.net/videos/watch/ebc43781-e679-4a5e-9460-8327daf38c15
(1/6) Story time…my recently released 5-song EP, Open Your Eyes, was originally supposed to just be an old-school single with an A-side featuring the full version of my #fedivision2024 entry “Open Your Eyes” and a B-side featuring a more acoustic, reflective take on my #fedivision2023 entry “Life’s in the Balance” that was always going to come out in late May or early June. But then something happened in late April…
I think I have a funny idea for what I'm gonna submit for #Fedivision2025 — a more surreal sequel of my #Fedivision2024 entry "Webpunks" that continues where it left off after it was interrupted by a "sound paywall" of SuperUltraProMiumGold+ to continue listening.
Not a lot of plans yet (or even if I'll go with that idea), but it'll have even more references to our enshittified internet I didn't cover in the original Webpunks:

Yesterday I sought out my favorite #fedivision2024 song that didn't make the top 10, "Keep The Mask (if it helps)" to share with a friend. The contest playlist & rff stations are no more so I'm very glad all entries are archived: https://fedivision.party/fedivision-2024-song-directory/.
From there we found *@ashnoodle's SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/ashgre & listened happily for about 30 minutes! I love the lasting connections* created by #fedivision!
*Their main acct is @ tech.lgbt & we aren't federated. Please let them know.
All that great #Fedivision2024 and @radiofreefedi music inspired @ethicalrevolution to start a brand new mixtape series showcasing #FairtradeMusic.

Did I say I say I won't tag Fedivision? Of course I do. here: #Fedivision and #Fedivision2024. Why? See the post I did reply to.
The Open Your Eyes EP, featuring a slightly longer version of my #fedivision2024 entry, is now available for streaming/download…but I’ve opted out of Spotify at this time. If there were such a thing as a lead single, it would be “Beyond Forever,” a song I wrote rather quickly just a couple of weeks ago and it has become one of my favorites that I’ve done.

Well it's not #BandcampFriday but you should still find all your favorite artists from #fedivision2024 on there and show a little support. And you might as well start with the runner up here:
https://negativeplayer.bandcamp.com/album/the-new-rage
Included is a brooding b-side "Inevitable Me" that's better than the a-side (methinks, at least)
Oh, look that that, I just released The Roses Outside Grow Suspiciously Red, the song I wrote for #fedivision2024 ! Should probably have done it sooner but I couldn't do it untill I was happy with the artwork. Never let it be said I do anything quickly. That said, I'm pretty proud of it!

Thanks to everyone who contributed and especially to the organisers - it was great fun!
I think my track had some redeeming qualities... but its understandable that it was no one's top three.
Maybe it would have made it into someone's top 10 :P
