“Friends Again” by INPC (@mxtthxw) is a dark and moody synth piece. It feels like it takes me on a journey of adventures through a cyberpunk wasteland. Really cool. Vote code GNOM

“1000” by Lost Voices [Mux2000 (@Mux) secretspecter (@specter) [Evil] Brielle labingi 🏳️⚧️ (@Brielle)] is a song dedicated to those who have been affected by war.

“For everyone touched by war.” ~ Lost Voices

The song’s lyrics are driven by a marching drum, speaking to the massive effort and sacrifice, and loss, in the name of war. Excellent songwriting. I really enjoyed the piece. Vote code ABLS

I am a sucker for an acoustic love song. “She's all of Me” by My Turning Point (@MTP) starts with a lovely arpeggio riff on a clean acoustic guitar that comforts us throughout the song. The vocals come in perfectly, surprise you with some unexpected lyrics, and get you listening to this beautiful expression of acceptance and love. Perfect. Vote code INTK

If I understand correctly, “GeoGuessr Song” was unwittingly written by Wolfseule (@Wolfseule) here:

And this toot was turned into a song by Scott Hühnerkrisp (@ScottHuehnerkrisp) and that’s the story. It’s hilarious. I literally laughed out loud. Totally meme worthy. Vote code EAPO

“Synthetic Synchronicity” by Revengeday (@revengeday) is a dance club number which calls to the ‘90s Berlin scene. A bangin’ groove that’ll get your body movin’. Cool vocals for a piece without lyrics too. Vote code CYBE

“Fediverse Fans Forever” by Randy Resnick (@randulo) is a great little rock song with some really cool (and cheeky) lyrics regarding social media and the Fediverse.

One really impressive aspect is that Randy played the guitar and sax on this track with two broken wrists!! Dave Grohl would be proud!

Really cool song, thoroughly enjoyed. Vote code FVIA

Chris Brind (@brindy) has produced a really cool Norse sounding track, with mandolin and big bass drum. “Crimson Tide” sounds like it should be in the opening titles of an epic Viking film. Great song. Love it. Vote code THRO

I think “TV-Sick” by Lioh & The Garage Band (@Lioh) qualifies as heavy metal, though Lioh describes the genre as Crossover. The song is about the negative influence of modern media and the depiction of violence, and how that affects mental health.

“We should find ways to protect us against the bad habits of using the media to distract ourselves and instead focus more on doing things with our friends and beloved ones.” ~ Lioh

Great heavy rock song. Love it! Vote code CEPH

Haunting strings open “Oasis” by Accidental Mayhem (@whoosh) and are quickly joined by an equally haunting vocal. I think the song refers to the facade that social media influencers keep up, living in their own information bubble. I might have that all wrong, but I enjoyed the track. Great song!! Vote code EATW

“Keep the Mask (if it helps)” by The Midnight Detective Club (@ashnoodle) is a song about masks, and overcoming self-doubt. It grooves. Vote code IPGW
