sknob bonks cities live RFFF25 livestream

#Music #Musique #Fediverse

Announcing a livestream after the fact is pretty dumb, but spoons.

Be that as it may, like last August, I was asked to participate in Radio Free Fedi Fest 25, #RFFF25, which is still ongoing as of this writing.

Prepping was complicated because of the worst June heatwave on record (unintentional pun), and because this livestream was preceded a week earlier by the NHAM Mixtape livestream for #RFFF25, which I managed technically and co-hosted with Sam (@ethicalrevolution@climatejustice.social).

My legendary stage fright also showed up for the gig, but it actually mostly dissipated after the first song (as did my voice).

Still, a lot of people came to listen and seemed happy with the show.

Here’s what I played:

Cities EP - Entangled - Let Me Off - Bercée d’illusions - Cities Interlude - I’m Staying Home This Christmas1 Bonkwave - The Rite of Bonk - C’est quoi (le Bonkwave) ? - La sieste/Don’t Mind Me - Bonkwave medley * Radio Bonkwave Jingle * Happy Bonk Day2 * Martian Kazoo Polka3 * Hi It’s Spring4 - Anagram Encore - Living The Dream

My heartfelt thanks to @radiofreefedi@musician.social and The Hamster, and to all of you who tuned in.

Unlike last year, I didn’t forget to record the stream, so if you missed it (how could you?!), the raw, unedited recording is available in the Live Performances section of NHAMtv.
