Alright here's my "Bandcamp Wrapped" that nobody asked for...
All 131 releases I purchased this year, as of today.
[#1-20 were purchased this past Bandcamp Friday alone]

I might have a problem.

i swear i'm not trying to boast
but it's still wild to me that the first Bandcamp "Booyakasha!" email i ever received [i.e.--"someone bought a release because they found it in your public collection"] was literally Will effing Toledo purchasing an ASTRO☆PUP single from @gojiimusic.bsky.social...

only one thing could have made this bandcamp friday better ;__;
December 6, 2025 at 4:15 AM
Oh I guess I never mirrored this over from the birdsite...

My first release last year was a live recording of the 3 original songs I played at the #ANE2024 Variety Show. For now it's the best place to get a taste for my songwriting!

I have nothing new to share for #BandcampFriday, but since the Holidays are upon us I'll boost the Single I released last year with 2 old recordings from my birdsite days.

They're rough and maybe a bit cringy, but hopefully still heartwarming. #FurryMusic

"longing"

just to be clear, this is my stance and it always will be.

just because it's safe for us to go maskless doesn't mean we shouldn't care about immune compromised folks who don't have that luxury. and you have no right to scoff at a private event for caring about its attendees.
spare us all the drama.

if i had a nickel for every time a 2025 furry album starred a classical/jazz instrument in an unexpectedly bonkers genre fusion, i'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's wild that it happened twice in one year.

honestly still can't believe the motion graphics animation that (Steyn &) I made is looping in the background of every photo of Gianmarco Soresi's #Furpoc2025 performance.

god-tier photobombing right there.

been meaning to reply to this...

I'm sure there are some listed that you're already familiar with, but here are some furry emo/indie/lofi/adjacent artists I've enjoyed:

CadmiumTea is easily one of our household's favorite traditional artists, he works in many different mediums and so much of his work has found its way onto our walls.

He's local to us in CT but sadly can't vend in person at cons anymore, so any eyes on his online shop would help him a lot. 💜

Since it's no longer current enough to submit to cons, here is my DJ demo mix from last fall. Most of the tracklist is recycled from a set I played at M.U.T.T. in Aug. 2024.

I was somehow cooking on this and idk if I'll ever record a demo this solid again.

ALSO did you know the #Furpoc2025 "Midnight Dimension" typography was originally HANDDRAWN and then digitized?!

Be on the lookout for the framed original in Furpoc's Charity Auction, and maybe bid for the chance to take it home!

I don't talk myself up enough on here so uh...

did y'all know I'm the guy who makes the @furpocalypse.org skull logos (and...basically all their branding designs since 2019)?
