The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

30 Day song challenge got a bit abstract today, so tossing out a 2nd question.... what's your favorite music tech?

From a pair headphones or maybe you make music or you have a record player that you live and die by, maybe it's an old iPod that still cruising along... What's that one piece of music tech you just Mmm Mmm LOVE!

For me, as much as I love my myriad of headphones and used to love my record player and my iPod Classic - I think it's now my iPad Pro. I've made 10 albums on that thing (new one out this Thurs), which not only was a dream come true, but has allowed me to build an even deeper connection with my daughter (a real full-blown professional musician) as we build songs, share, talk music & music theory together.

Here's her band, Tyche https://songwhip.com/tyche

Here's my DIY little alternative rock pop "band of one" - https://songwhip.com/fairy-eyelashes (all songs made 100% on my iPad)

You and your daughter are both so talented!

P.S. I tried to listen to Such Wonder and I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but it wouldn’t let me listen on Spotify or Qobuz. On Spotify it’s grayed out, on Qobuz I got an error msg. It could just be my phone but I thought I’d say something in case it’s a larger issue.

thanks so much! Yeah, I pulled that song & a couple others and reworked them a little - it's on the new album on Thursday!
