Yesterday I sought out my favorite #fedivision2024 song that didn't make the top 10, "Keep The Mask (if it helps)" to share with a friend. The contest playlist & rff stations are no more so I'm very glad all entries are archived: https://fedivision.party/fedivision-2024-song-directory/.
From there we found *@ashnoodle's SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/ashgre & listened happily for about 30 minutes! I love the lasting connections* created by #fedivision!

*Their main acct is @ tech.lgbt & we aren't federated. Please let them know.

Hey, check out @MOULE’s time-lapse of the creation of some of their great cover art.

Making cover art for your music is often as big a job as producing the track itself, and this video gives some insight into the work that goes into it.

All set to a bangin’ MOULE track, it’s an enjoyable watch.
