What other side projects do people have? Like the type of thing you do, just to do.

If it becomes a problem, I will gladly delete it.

A little bit of show and tell.

Yeah, I was definitely worried about it being a promotion. I've been doing music for a long time, but I gave up the idea that it would pay my bills a decade ago. That's just not a reality anymore and got more abysmal during and after covid.

Its 100% a creative outlet and side projects for me. By day I am an under employed project manager. By removedht I am an idealistic and also under employed musician. Oh what a fate! :)

And if anyone is like, I NEED this, or you are a DJ who wants to spin it, or whatever, just message me for a download code.

Also, going to be available on streaming services after Feb 14, wanted to give it a couple of weeks to stew on Bandcamp first.

My favorite track is probably Missing in Stars covering Hold Me Now. It's soooo good.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion. I'll start a thread.

Very true. I'll do a bit of digging and see where a thread for it may belong. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I didn't want to assume too much and hijack your thread. Much appreciated!

A little bit of self promotion, since you asked. My bandmate and I started a tiny record label named Paraluna as a project and decided our first release was going to be a charity compilation of 80s covers named Retronomicon for Charles Levi to help with his recovery. It came out yesterday and is doing okay in sales. 100% of proceeds go to Charles Levi's medical bills. If anyone is interested, it's easy to find with a quick Google search. So this weekend is promote, promote, promote.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Hola. For me, I started getting a cough and feeling under the weather. I came home from work on that Friday and I hadn't eaten at all that day, was super hungry. It was Friday! I'm going to treat myself to some Mediterranean from this delish local place. Got my food, took a bite, bland af. Couldn't taste anything. Finished eating and fell asleep watching the simpsons on the couch like I tend to do when I'm not feeling well.

Woke up the next day and couldn't smell or taste anything. Immediately took a home test which came back positive. Made a appointment for a test through my doc on Monday which of course came back positive.

Things got worse, brutal cough for at least a month. Complete brain fog for over a week, couldn't put thoughts together, which made it so i struggled to complete regular day to day things. Super fatigue for a could of weeks. After maybe 10 days my sense of smell and taste came back.

Happy holidays.

Hogwarts Legacy please. Not my type of game, but I know my partner would love it.

Quick story. In my adult life I've always been into charity. A couple of years ago a friend created his own 501c non profit. He was getting stuff together but then got overwhelmed and depressed and just couldn't focus on it anymore. Fast forward to a couple of months ago. I hit him up to see how he was doing and he felt inspired but still overwhelmed. Didn't know where to pick things up.

I started giving pointers (from my background in project management) and he asked if I would help him get this charity off the ground. Of course I said yes. He voted me in officially and that has been my whole world since then. Yeah I still have my regular job, and yeah the charity thing is solely volunteer, but I'm playing to my strengths and I'm conducting this thing the best I can.

We finally did our first utility relief from donations just a few weeks ago and it felt good. Going to really kick it in high gear in 2024.
