This collab with @BanastarProject may have had the most pre-saves of any song I've released. Fans of the Indie Music Showcase already saw a sneak peek.

Pre-save now and tell the Spotify algorithm that surf is indeed up!

@devilstaratom @BanastarProject Lol twenty. Frankly, I'm seriously considering pulling my music from Spotify, so a strong showing for this song might convince me to stay a while.

@Panmet_Artist @Uselessdogs Yikes! Thanks for checking out the replay!

[Uncle Funkbeard @UncleFunkbeard]

@BandelloLibri I dig this song, but I believe you have it set to "Yes, it's made for kids," which means I can't add it to a playlist. If you would uncheck that box and submit it next week I'd be happy to include it!

@RoehrbornX Thanks, Ray!

@Uselessdogs Thanks for spreading the word, UD! Glad you enjoyed it!

@IAAMRadio @CloudedReason True, definitely takes more time to comment, which is essentially why it has higher value.

I am not monetized but I also spend most energy on the engagement on my own page. As you say, I don't have as much time to go seeking out others' posts as I used to.

Thanks to those of you on the list who sent in music! You're on the playlist for Monday. Those who didn't, I sadly must unfollow you, but I will happily follow you back if you ever submit a song to the Indie Music Showcase!

[Uncle Funkbeard @UncleFunkbeard]

It's time to play Submit or Die!

Sometimes, artists who follow me are too shy to send in music to the Indie Music Showcase without special encouragement.

If you're on the list below, you have 24 hours to reply with a submission for next week's episode of the Showcase. Read the guidelines in the thread and post a YouTube / YouTube Music link to your song or video.

@Iam_Tunice Please read the submission guidelines.

[Uncle Funkbeard @UncleFunkbeard]

@MrDickyWaters Good to go! Thanks!

[Uncle Funkbeard @UncleFunkbeard]

@Uselessdogs @Gomesongs Oh good, thank you! Designing the set order so each song has the best opportunity to shine is half the fun for me!

[Uncle Funkbeard @UncleFunkbeard]

@SkyPatternsBand Should be! Isn't tho. Not sure how you'd enforce it.

The problem is, it's so Mich easier and faster to churn out slop, all these places are seeing a surge of AI and HAVE to be skeptical. It's a weird time.
