Event Attributes
Some songs capture a fleeting moment, while others leave an everlasting mark on an entire generation. More than a decade after their iconic 2011 hit “Titanium,” David Guetta and Sia have reignited their musical chemistry with “Beautiful People,” a euphoric dance anthem that blends soaring melodies with raw emotion.

2/3… knew you had opted in in the first place. This is only JUST ONE of the newer landmines #Musicians, #Artists and #Songwriters have to navigate as the #StreamingPlatforms individually now also all have their own #Scams and #AI farkery in progress.
We’ve not fallen prey to any of these (thankfully) but as the situation deteriorates it’s becoming clear if your not keeping your musics total chain of possession under lock and key there will be shenanigans somewhere along the line…
Happy #BandcampFriday everyone!!! Time to go clear out your wishilists!
Got any recommendations? Do you have music on Bandcamp? Please post it below since I'm going to be checking out lots of stuff today. I'm especially into electronic and vaporwave, but I'll listen to anything, really.

In the process of consciously uncoupling my life/energy/information/anything from Google. I have been using Google Keep for organising lyrics over the past few years, but am wondering what apps you Fedi #songwriters might suggest for writing organisation.
My needs:
* syncing between mobile & desktop
* intuitive tagging system
* text is a must, but integrated audio recordings would be great
* free is nice, but wouldn't mind paying a few quid for something highly rated.
Suggestions?
Sundaaaay! This is one of my favourite events and I can't wait to play my songs and hear my fellow songwriters' brilliant creations. @liveonelgin #songwriters #livemusic #newmusic #originalmusic

Some of you might know this one from #FionaApple covering it on her #MTVUnplugged live thing (i think it was...)
Her version is really good, btw. i think there's some story about her having a special connection to this song, in fact.
Anyone?

4 Incredible #AntiWar #Songs That Required a Bit of “Reading Between the Lines”
Not every great #protestsong is in your face or direct about its message. Some #songwriters take a more poetic approach to singing anti-#war songs. Let’s take a look at four tracks that are very much anti-war #tunes, but require a bit of reading between the lines to understand.
Peggy Lee wrote “It's a Good Day" while doing the housework. Recently married with a young daughter, she’d semi-retired from performing, but the melodies and words kept flowing from her.
“It’s a Good Day” was released on 16 November 1946 and reached number 16 on the charts the following January. Peggy Lee duetted the song with Bing Crosby on four occasions, and many artists subsequently recorded their own versions.
