I am seriously considering ending this series. Traffic has been terrible recently, and my job is more demanding every day. I am okay not making money off this, but if y'all aren't even going to read it/find new music with it, it's truly a waste of my time...

This week's Other People's Music features work from @southwind_niehaus (retro future B-movie kosmische) &
@JoshuaACNewman (intense sample-mangling soundscape) plus more from outside the Fedi, including feel-good, funky pop and New Age-friendly chamber music!

Time for a special DOUBLE tease! Last week I was too busy to do my teaser for Other People's Music, so this week, we're doubling up. Twice the reviews teased! Let's start with this week's batch; you can read them all here:

You can join the cohort of Mastodon-based musicians covered in Other People's Music! It's free, low obligation, and most of you seeing this already are doing everything you need to do except for actually asking me!

Our fellow Fedizens and Mastopals @StarlingW &
@tclark are featured in this week's Other People's Music! The first offers unique and funky electronic rock instrumentals; the latter brings us high-drama darkwave/synthpop.

People who scold artists for using Masto to promote their art get an instant block from me. FOH.

The best use of Mastodon is discovering cool art of all kinds DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTISTS. If you are against that, WTF are you even doing here?

@baymud ... No

(LOL, maybe. But it is harder than you'd think... I was convinced I'd stop at 6u/90hp but...ended up with roughly twice that.)

Let's take a final look back at the week's Other People's Music before the new one drops tomorrow. This thread will offer the first line of each review, links to the music, socials, & full review. Don't want to wait for the tease? Read the whole post:

This week is the second anniversary of Other People's Music! With 2 years under the belt, we head into year 3 with a selection of out there electronic sounds -- drones, code-based music, weird IDM abstractions & horror industrial -- topped off with raw indie rock.

Off-kilter art pop with a dreamy, lo-fi aesthetic and almost Lynchian vibe.

A.R.T.I.S.T – Post Canariedad

That's everything for this installment -- a new one hits tomorrow morning. Can't wait? Dig into the archives and see what you missed! There are 500 reviews in there -- can't imagine ANYONE has read them all (besides me, anyway).
