After all the experimenting last week, slightly calmer approach this week and I think I might be about where I want to be with websites and wallets and all that sort of thing. Waiting for a few changes to happen behind the scenes now, so I'm going to go and do something else for a day or two. Getting closer to starting back onto the music, which is what makes me happy 😃

Day off. Went to look at some crags. They were very nice! 😀

I've been experimenting a bit, so now I have a couple of albums available using v4v podcast rss. This one worked first time (thanks to music side project:

Podcastindex.org

Podcast | Podcastindex.org

The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem.

Whereas this didn't, and podcast index hasn't caught up with the fixed version yet:

Meanwhile I also felt like trying out vinyl for the first time in decades: https://elasticstage.com/strange-textures/releases/strange-textures-album So if you like ambient, soundscape, guitar, post-rock sort of stuff, have a listen.

Possibly a silly question for #asknostr I get the appeal of DeMu and v4v and with the podcast value tag available in RSS it obviously works. And I already self-host my music so building or using a player and adding a lightning button looks like it could work too. But would it be better to use Blossom to store a couple of quality versions with payment info, then RSS or Nostr lists streaming and download versions? You could use lists for curation and be sure sats are heading to the right place? Or have I just been up too long and lost the plot completely?

Experimenting with my own music player with lightning link so I don't need to upload to different places but can still share... How about this as a basic start? https://music.strangetextures.com/everyoneelsewhereplayer.html

More good music here (I happen to be on for the first two minutes, I'm not just posting stuff with me on, it's very coincidental and unusual that I've been on 2 shows):

Had a chance to browse round Wavlake a bit more today. This is what I’ve been listening to:

Play, boost, and more on Wavlake ⚡️🎵

The latest Transverse Tempo episode is really good (and happens to have a couple of my tracks on it). Worth a listen if you like this sort thing.

Transverse Tempo

Downtempo, trip-hop, chill wave, and tracks that sit somewhere above ambient

Thought I'd have a go with Wavlake... This is the last lot of music I made:

Settling in a bit, thanks for the welcome 😀 Tried a few clients, set up my profile better. Think I've worked out a few things about wallets. Started following people. Feels nice!
