Feels like a real rollercoaster in the Fedi music world at the moment. So many new, exciting things on the horizon, but the two mainstays underpinning everything so far have both gone within a month of each other.

Let's hope the communities built up by those institutions will create a lasting legacy.

It's up to us now, to make sure that it doesn't all fall apart.

I can't get over how much music changed in just four years.. from all that amazing variety of 1986 to just wall to wall formulaic stuff in 1990 #totp

Note, none of this has been anywhere near AI.. they're all photos that happened to be on my phone, processed through One Lab filters.

I discovered One Lab on Android due to someone posting here.. sadly I have no idea who, but whoever it was is directly responsible for an upcoming significant improvement in my album/release cover art from this point onwards..

(well apart from the next big one which I've already finished.. )

This probably needs some editing but I'm not going to get to that today, so here's a thing I wrote about the Bandwagon and Indie Beat Radio integration, taking in a whole lot of other stuff along the way to put it into context as to why I think it stands out as an important step forward.

The art of video making was in its infancy back then, wasn't it #totp

I guess they decided they needed a truly boring video to go with this truly boring song .. but I suppose videos were quite rare back then? #totp

@benpate @mizkirsten

I should also add - this wouldn't be possible without consent from all the artists involved.

For Volume 003 we specified a limited distribution right that included exactly this type of community radio station - and also the majority of the tracks are released under explicit Creative Commons licenses.

For prior releases we've only added the tracks with explicit artist consent, or where CC-licenced.

New submissions will be requested by the artists themselves.

This was made possible by some great innovations.

First, @benpate 's federated music service https://bandwagon.fm allowed us to upload the albums.

Then, an integration between #Bandwagon and #TheIndieBeat FM radio station meant the tracks could be shared directly to the station.

Finally, @mizkirsten created a new channel specifically for us, managed by me, and now curated by the #BonkWave contributors.

This type of collaboration feels like a big step into the future!

In case you missed it - #TheIndieBeat FM has a new channel called "Not What I Call Radio Bonk Wave", managed and curated by bonkwave.org.

You can access it in either place:

https://theindiebeat.fm/not-what-i-call-radio-bonk-wave/

https://not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave.org/

It's mostly playing tracks from the compilations at the moment, but we're expanding it so that any past contributor can submit their own tracks and vote on submissions - see this contributor-only thread on the board: https://bonkwave.org/board/index.php?topic=131.0

Apparently this is about to be banned in the US? No idea why, but you'd better grab it while you can!!
