Last Notes

I arrived home from work today to find a package from @nprofile…dwtc in my mailbox! I knew it should be coming before long, but I wasn't sure when. I immediately headed for my record player because I knew it was my copy of his latest album, Alone in Valentine.
I listened to it all the way through right away and then again while eating supper, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm finding it hard to narrow down my favorite songs because I like them all! If you've enjoyed Joe's previous music, this album is a great addition. I really enjoyed looking through the album sleeve as I listened, and there's a nice poster/lyric sheet in there too. I miss those little extras when I only get the digital albums! It's definitely worth the extra money on albums like this.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement for the new music! I don't think all the songs are online quite yet, but I would definitely recommend checking out the singles and the album when it fully releases!

It really hasn't felt like that long ago that I was listening to some music and came up with the idea of doing these lists, but it's been a year already! It's been a lot of fun. I've found a number of good artists through the V4V platforms, including two of my all-time favorites, Joe Martin and Alicia Stockman. For this week I decided to list a few of the songs I've kept coming back to ever since I discovered V4V. Hopefully everyone isn't too tired of them! I'm also putting links to the previous 51 posts I've made, along with two playlists containing (nearly) all of the songs I picked. There were a few I couldn't find for some reason, but there's still almost 350 different ones!
I am planning on changing things around though, so from now on I probably won't be doing a weekly list. I may make a few posts here and there to call out particular artists, albums, etcetera, but it'll be in a more limited way. I may write up something more detailed once I finish a few other writing projects, but the short version is that I enjoy being "connected" a lot less than I used to, and I realized I had been spending a lot more time offline. Making this up every week has been fun and isn't really a lot of work, but I like the flexibility of being able to skip logging in too!
As I write this there are two days until Thanksgiving, and I'm definitely thankful for a lot of things. I'm very thankful for all the musicians that are making their music available for people like me to enjoy! I'm sure there are some that make music hoping to become rich and famous, but I also think there are a lot that just do it because they love it. I'm also thankful for the people that have put their time into making the platforms for publishing the music and notes like this one! And last but not least, I'm thankful for the people that shared, zapped, and commented every week on stacker.news and Nostr. It was nice knowing that there were some people that found some value and enjoyment in it!
Anyway, here are some of my favorites. The playlist is [here](https://v4vmusic.com/?playlist=cmifclzlw022fod0i0elmua56)!

Hmm, that's odd. I use the Fossify File Manager, and it by default starts me at the home folder. So I only have to do Android/data/de.danoeh.antennapod/files to get there.

No, this album is available, sorry for the confusion! I was commenting about Fountain having the ability to play videos embedded in a RSS feed. It means live performances and music videos can be zapped just like the regular music tracks.
By the way, I've also been enjoying the two new songs The Retrograde have out on the channel!

2025-10-13 23:22:17 CEST

I was just enjoying this video a few minutes ago, and I was thinking about how nice it would be to have these available on the V4V platforms too. We might not be far away, @nprofile…kae7 already supports video!

Something I was curious about. If the Kickstarter would happen to not reach the goal in time, would it still be possible to order the merch bundle/other rewards separately?

@nprofile…dwtc is going to be making a new album! He has crowdfunding campaigns running on Geyser and Kickstarter if anyone wants to contribute toward it. I just wanted to call attention to it because it's nice to see more artists going this route rather than signing with a label to get their music published. It also is a lot of fun for me as a fan to be directly contributing to something I enjoy. He was one of the first artists I started following when I discovered value for value music, and anyone who has seen the weekly V4V music lists I put out knows that his songs show up pretty regularly on them! So I'm looking forward to having him release some more music, and will be excited to be one of the first to get his first vinyl release! I know most people (including me) primarily listen to music digitally, but there's something to be said for putting on a record and just letting it play through.

Ah, I bet that's it. I use Aurora Store to install it because I won't use any of the Google stuff, and although it always said it required Play Services to operate I didn't have issues before. Apparently something has changed now. Back to AntennaPod until something changes I guess!

Yes, I might consider signing up if so. If it was open source and I could pay without the middlemen it would be an easy decision.

Same here, although not in Graphene. Just deGoogled Android.

Time for another song list already! A couple of new songs I enjoyed came out this week, and some old favorites are on here too.

I'm not sure if routing to your home IP with wireguard would help or not, but hopefully you can get something working!

I get that fairly often, like today, but there's a fair amount of times I still get sats.

Maybe try connecting through a VPN if you aren't using one, or check with Fountain support and see if they can do anything. I've personally had better luck running it through a VPN than not.
By the way, I'm a LUP listener too! I've been listening for years.

This is why I like buying artist's songs and/or sending sats so much! Even though I can't do it for every artist and song, when I do it I at least know they're getting a good portion of the value I'm sending.

Ah, I didn't realize that, but it makes sense now. I'll try to remember that next time I put one of those songs on my lists! It certainly seems he kept pretty busy with all of those different groups.

Oh, that's an interesting connection! I really enjoy that song.
I guess I must have made a mistake on the name though, are all of the album names under the Climbing the Mountain artist different bands instead?

I have another list of V4V music pulled together for this week! I hope you all enjoy.

Here is something I've been doing for a while over on Stacker News, and I decided to start mentioning it here and see what happens.
I listen to a fair amount of V4V music on @nprofile…nrls and @nprofile…3xgh, so in December last year I started putting together lists of songs I enjoyed that week and posting them. They're not necessarily the highest songs on the charts, just songs that I listened to and liked. It's nothing fancy, but I'm hoping to help promote some of these artists and help people find new music!

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation! I noticed it really does filter out a lot of the AI stuff.

What exactly does the DeMu option do/mean? I was trying to find some information about it, but there didn't seem to be anything explaining it on the website.

Extension of creativity is how I would view it as well. I've seen a few of his videos linked here and there, he's got some good ideas.

I didn't realize LnBeats had that option, thanks! Discovering new songs can be a bit of a challenge, especially since I haven't found a good way to filter what's already out there.
By the way, thanks to your suggestion I discovered that Lara Price just put one of her songs on LnBeats! She does a few different genres, but I've been enjoying her blues albums for a while now. Fingers crossed for the rest of her music to show up!

I agree completely. While to some extent I like that people that have an idea and don't have the skills or means to make it can still be creative, but it unfortunately ends up like you described.
I try to dig up tracks for a weekly V4V music playlist, and the out now tab on Wavlake is getting more and more clogged with AI generated album art and music. I guess we'll see if the trend shifts back to proof of work over time.

I'm really enjoying it! As the other commenter said, Lonely Together was a highlight. I like all the songs though, and they sound really good. Whoever mixed the tracks did a great job, at least to my ears!

Does @nprofile…nrls use a different artist system than the other V4V music services? I've been using it for my music recently, but it seems to be missing a few artists that I had listened to on Fountain and LNBeats. I like their app and service pretty well other than that!

Really exciting to see! I was checking the price just a minute before, and I was lucky enough to see it tick over to $100k. I'm sure I'll remember that when it's much higher and wish I had bought then!

I was looking forward to getting out and taking some pictures today, but it was raining when I woke up this morning. This evening I happened to see my lantern hanging on the back porch and I decided to get some pictures of it. This is one of my favorites.
