Hi Mastodon,

I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)

There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

hi it‘s time for a little #reintroduction, because i feel like it.

hello there lovely prople, i am murz, a forty-something based in good old germany. i do a bit of everything in my spare time—playing games (#turnbased, #simulation, #boardgames, #rpg), making art (#urbansketching, #fibreart, #calligraphy), keeping the plants alive, enjoying wine and whisky, and listening to music (#cooljazz, #world as collected vinyls from my travels)

please feel free to drop by and say hello, and find out what we may have in common. i apologise beforehand for long-winded hyperfocus toots and frequent boredom complaints.

looking forward to the fedi journey with you all. take care now.

Greetings! I'm Sere. 

I am an introverted individual, who has been a #selfshipper for 10 years, before the term existed, and a beginner #artist for 4 years.
I currently #selfship myself with Luka Megurine, the third Vocaloid, since 1st Jan, 2022. I love to think, talk about her and explore her aspects.
I am a #Vocaloid fan, started in 2018, focusing on Hatsune Miku, stopped after a year. then returned in 2021, the year I discovered Luka.
I am #bilingual (just like Luka!), speaking both Arabic (native) and English (fluent).
I'm familiar with Mastodon, as I joined it in 2017, but I returned last year.
I created some automated accounts, like CV03BOT. I also run a Tumblr media blog dedicated to Luka Megurine.
Sometimes, I like tinkering with operating systems (especially #Windows and #Linux). I enjoy video-games, including Vocaloid games, some #Nintendo and #SEGA games (like #Mario, #Sonic, #F-Zero, and #SuperSmashBros). I also like #Touhou and #HalfLife.

I'm actually looking for mutuals with similar interests. Let me know if you share some of them.
