We could do two, one posthumous and one alive. I'm not opposed to doing more but people got burned out doing #cccma so I'm loathe to do too much.

One of the major goals of the CC CMA was to promote music from places where the scene is not as big, and of course doing one a year limits that but I also learned recently that not everyone in the community knows that Nine Inch Nails put out two CC albums so maybe I focus too much on the obscure.

One more, I think

@bsots @wjmaggos no, that wasn't it. it was a thought that crossed my mind but wasn't the thing I wanted to bring up.

That was actually whether or not we wanted to have #NLorY be essentially a HoF induction. That's what we did with the #cccma for the regional winners. Basically, let's say Jumpsuit wins this year. Jumpsuit couldn't win again in the future.

Which is not to say they couldn't win other awards if we introduce them, just not NLotY.

When I announced this privately to a few folks this morning, I was thinking just USA, but in writing the blog, I realized there's really no reason to exclude Canada.

I didn't talk about this in the blog but back when I started #cccma my goal was to have local awards in all 50 states. I hope we're able to grow enough such that having a separate org for Canada makes sense. it's a long way from Halifax to Vancouver. Musicians probably need a lot of help touring. #ccmusic

Nightly @fccmworkingsessions comes with a truth hurts blog: https://friendsofccmusic.org/2025/02/01/no-cc-cma-in-2025/ #ccmusic #cccma

Also, I am going to download the video for anyone that requests it, but there is some sensitive data on the screen. It's brief, but I can't leave it out there.

No CC CMA in 2025

I really think getting rid of the CC CMA is probably the way to go. It’s work we really don’t have the resources for right now, but at the Constitutional Convention people wanted to kee…

blog post was going to go into more depth but I can't help but think we really didn't get anywhere yesterday. Sure, we agreed on some important points. Mike's going to design a logo. We're going to keep the #cccma alive.

But the fundamental issues still remain.

I've largely thought of the org as a UN of #ccmusic. I even call myself the Secretary General in my email signature. Not just the General Assembly but sending resources to troubled areas (in this case maybe that's troubled projects)

@ryno @wjmaggos @Cheesetruck all I can tell you is #cccma got a cease and desist.

this rings true to me. Got a lot of toxic feedback about #cccma

I accidentally recorded this short on the old CC Listening Parties page, which I guess serves the purpose of reminding folks that some cool stuff exists over there: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WhivSU8dsEQ

A lot of the videos say "1 year ago" but we actually stopped using it about 2 years ago to try to better promote the #CCCMA

In any case, lots of great #ccmusic to sort through
