We’re feeling fall festive this week! DuhLaurien armed with her brand new Rodecaster to guide us through the harvest season and beyond. We’re more grateful than ever to have real people hosting their own music, especially given the given the recent news about Bandcamp. In case you need another reason to self-host, here ya go, sluggers: Bandcamp, Oakland-based music industry darling, gutted by 50% layoff “Bandcamp was purchased by Epic Games — maker of Fortnite and Gears of War — in early 2022. In September 2023, Epic announced its plan to sell Bandcamp to Songtradr, a Santa Monica company that specializes in music licenses.” Songtradr (Songtraitor?) has been around since 2014. In 2019, it became the largest music licensing platform in the world. Naturally, laying off half of Bandcamp’s workforce has artists worried about the horrific changes to come with the platform. Peruse the interweb, and you’ll see many worried musicians afraid of what is to come. In light of the news that we’d like to share this term with you all: Enshittification - A seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market,” where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, holding each hostage to the other, taking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.” MORE BREAKING NEWS— That groovy hit “This will need to be deleted later” has been deleted. I’m sorry Dave…we’re gonna need this single. SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTIVE PRODUCERS: Lavish, Tjunta, harvhat, Boolysteed, Wiirdo, HeyCitizen, Phifer & for anyone we missed - we'll get back next time, loves! TRACK LIST: Dane Ray Coleman – It's Not Fair That You Exist HeyCitizen – MoeFactz Croatoan – Voluntary Mayday Mayday – Higher (ft. Sir Brian With an I) The Death of Rock and Roll - Long Hard Nightstick False Finish – Wake Up (Good Morning!)

We had a ball with our live listeners on the 40th Thursday of the year! The sound of the bowling pins (boostagrams) crashing as the music played sounded juuust right. Daisy B. Cooper sent her regards, along with two beautiful selections for our ear holes! One of her picks and one of DuhLaurien’s were both created by one of our callers, Andy of Panzee and Johnson City! He graciously thanked us for playing his music. Thank you, Andy. Your input and decades worth of art is invaluable to this V4V show.

Sir Spencer is an eagle scout GOD for providing us with yet another drop-free stream since he nuked the Azura cast!

Three is a "lucky" number, which is exactly why we have three lovely co-hosts celebrating our third episode! Under a beautiful harvest moon, no less! Rule of three applies to most creative endeavors such as photography, writing, and comedy. Some of tonight’s selections come from the minds of certified comedic geniuses…including the one and only Lil B the Based God??? Thank you Sir Seater for self-hosting your track and allowing us to share the gospel of The Based God!! Our trio also discusses the glory that is LN BEAST (LN Beats), and it’s integral part in our process for picking our music each week.

We concluded our second episode tonight! All tired yet inspired by navigating the new decentralized music world. DuhLaurien brought some tracks to reflect on the legacy of self-hosted art. Hey Citizen sent in our glorious “Number Man” phone jingle, born of post-show buffoonery. By the way, you can call (213) 839-8668 and leave a v/m to request self-hosted songs, or chat about whatever your heart desires! Speaking of, we’d love to hear your input on 2 potential new segments: In The Weeds: Each week, we’d talk about going to local shows, or the state of the scene in general. Listeners are encouraged to call in about their recent (or dated) experiences at concerts. Musicians can use this part of the episode as a vehicle to promote upcoming local shows. Fresh Crops: A lil’ segment where we’d spotlight one song that is newly self-hosted. Producers would let us know about their music that they’re looking to self-host. SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR LOVELY PRODUCERS: Wiirdo, SirSeatSitter, boo-bury, NetNed TRACK LISTING: Torcon VII – Gold Mike Epting – Mr. Marlboro Johnson City – Up in the Ceiling Chris Wenske – Coconuts The Doerfels – They Don’t Know Miles Fonda – Emo Stormtrooper Emo Storm Trooper is beautifully clever. An older song by Miles Fonda and Sir TJ The Wrathful which TJ has revived through self-hosting. Here is the paragraph TJ wrote to describe it: “Miles Daniel Fonda passed away on January 21, 2023. Born on April 15, 1988, he was blessed with great artistic and musical talents, as well as writing abilities. Miles leaves behind his beautiful son Kaden, and 94% of boosts go to a wallet set up for Kaden. Miles-vocals Sir TJ-guitar Written and Recorded in approximately 2005” This is why the movement matters.

You host it, we toast it!
