Now then. Got a mobile phone, yeah? Been searching for a slide whistle for it?

bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦On this dreary Monday, if you think the world has gone completely mad, let me remind you that you are completely right. Seeing it written down might be somewhat liberating: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/the-impossible-things-we-have-to-believe/
The Impossible Things We Have to Believe - Bert Hubert's writings
“Alice laughed. ‘There’s no use trying,’ she said. ‘One can’t believe impossible things.’ I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. ‘When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” – Through the looking-glass, Lewis Carrol by John Tenniel To stay sane, we have to accept that our climate is going completely haywire, but that it is ok to mostly ignore that since saving ourselves is apparently not cost-effective.

inpcHad a blast at last night's gig... Music and visuals worked well and I loved hearing my work on a system with proper sub bass. It translated really well. However, the big thing, and this is where it becomes interesting as an indie web enthusiast... There was hardly anyone there.
The only people who came were friends I texted and a feel bad for the guy putting on the night (who is also a friend). The feedback was great re the music/visuals but I REALLY need to sort my shit out letting people know about what I'm doing. One friend, who's pretty good at marketing, has been texting me all morning lol.
I haven't had any mainstream social media since 2019 and I don't want to go back to it... ever. The only real power any of us have against these digital vampires is to remove ourselves from their platforms but clearly, they dominate on a local level.
However, it's pretty tragic if you're trying to get people to a music event in a small town. I appreciate the shares, I love the indie web and my friends here, however it's hard for people from say the EU or wherever to make a gig. The bus service between here and Berlin is pretty poor lol.
I need to find a way to promote myself locally. I get anyway with being a recluse because I'm usually doing sound for people with management etc. who handle the promo and I've never really promoted myself.
There's defo things like getting an email list and doing more than just texting my friends, back in the day we'd go out fly posting and that was part of the fun but are there any other things people who live there digital lives on the more obscure areas of the internet AND gig to audiences still? Seems a weird thing to ask given I've been working in music so long but I'm living in my own little bubble most the time.
On the one hand, I could get an Instantgran account and play that game but it would feel like a defeat of all the work I've done to self host stuff and contribute in my tiny way to making the internet cool again.
I want to bring people to the indie web, not create revenue for Zuckerberg, he's a cunt and fuck that guy.
Indie musicians here, are you still keeping mainstream apps or are you doing something cooler to promo your work?

Storks always seem to set up shop in towns that have excellent wine. I’ve been following a loose principle for some time: if a town is full of storks, stop and drink some wine. I’m promoting this to a rule.
Started today by wandering around Zaragoza. Ate some churros. Saw some buildings. Bought some records. These guys have some nice hiphop.
Drove 40 mins up the road, and ended the day running around the countryside in la Rioja.
Amo Espana.
Got some records out for the first time in about 5 years. Can't remember how to do it, but I'm having fun.
Half hour of hiphop featuring some really sketchy mixing but a probably couple of rare bits.
half-hour-hiphop
First mix in a loooong time (I no longer live on a boat). Half hour of all vinyl, all late 90s/early 2000s hip hop bradford style. The mixing is shady. The records are not :) Quasimoto - Privacy Cop
