yes, I really went down a rabbit hole during the scamdemic about the legal system and how there is a difference between legal and lawful. And the legal system essentially tricks you into tacit consent by creating a fictional corporate legal identity through the birth certificate and essentially any other government ID you apply for. Have you done any research into this as well??

_________________________

I have to say, some of the biggest boosts I have got were from our songs being included in bitcoin podcasts or podcasts that aren’t V4V music related, but add a song at the end of their episode. Bitcoin podcasts seem to have fairly large audiences and obviously listeners have some sats to throw around.

2026-05-28T15:15:46Z

In reply to nevent1q…yyc6
_________________________

Getting more listeners is a major step as everyone mentioned. Part of it I think, is having easy touch pionts into the space without actually having to join the space, if that makes sense. Take Wavlake or amplifiedtunes.online. You can send simple urls or webpages for people to check out and see and listen to things going on in the space without actually needing to join nostr or download another app. I think as soon as you ask people to download an app to access a realm they know nothing about, you have already lost half the people. Then telling them about cryptographic key pairs and lightning wallets looses the other half.

ALSO…we need to bring discussion of V4V music onto legacy platforms. Having people who have already joined talk about it on nostr doesn’t reach anyone. If we had a small but passionate team of people start to create V4V Facebook groups, and whatever the equivalent is on other platforms, they could slowly build a following on these platforms, make people aware and interested enough that maybe after several touch points or having it simmer in the back of their brain for a few months, decide to join.

That’s more the listener side. On the artist side, I think something needs to be done to make it more financially incentivized. Tell musicians to join and hope that a small number of people zap them from the goodness of their hearts is a tough selling feature. Maybe it’s sacrilege to say this around here, but what if the Spotify model would be good but just by cutting out Spotify as the middle man. What if a protocol could be developed that would allow artists to create a sort of subscription model that would open up their full catalogue to people who subscribe and pay say 1000 sats a month? Kinda like auto boosts and subscriptions joined together but subscribing to the specific artist and not a whole platform. Artist could have like a couple sample songs available for free to anyone, and people that want to check out more can subscribe to the artist and unlock their whole catalogue. And of course send zaps like always if they want to. I know lots of people think completely open and free is best because it goes with the open source protocol ethos, but if most people can freeload without having to give up anything, they will. So some sort of middle ground between free and open and a “subscription or paywall” may offer the best of both worlds for artists and listeners alike?

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it. Most people seem to like the studio version better but the live version definitely has a raw energy to it. We also have a live a studio version if a song called Too Late to be Found. The studio version if that actually maybe has just as much energy it no more!

Question…if someone isn’t connected to the same relays that you use to post do they not see your note?! The whole relay thing is still a bit of a mystery to me. I know sometimes different clients have different default relays, but in theory shouldn’t all relays that use the same protocol still allow you to see notes posted with relays you are not connected to?

Really cool. What made you pick Aria? Not going to lie, I have never heard of that brand before. Maybe because they are not too popular in North America?

🎵Attention V4VJ's and music podcasters!🎵
We have several releases coming in the months ahead and we want to partner with some music shows for some exclusive releases, meaning we want the first time our song is heard to be on your show! We have some exciting content on the horizon: we will be releasing the first song featuring our drummer on vocals called Insecure; a low key, dark and ethereal sounding song that we consider to be one of our studio masterpieces. We also have studio versions of every song from our Live at Rockpile album, so if you like a particular song, you can be the first to introduce the studio version into the valueverse! Also, Alex has been working on finalizing up to 10 tracks from another band he was in called Ground Zero. While the band is no longer together, there are some killer tracks waiting to be heard, and another musician on NOSTR was the main songwriter for the group (I will keep his identity a secret for now). Our initial plan was to release a song per month, but if there is lots of interest we can double up in some of the months ahead! Let us know what you are interested in and we can coordinate which release and when. First to respond gets our next release for this month, and we can figure out the rest! Rock on Strange Lovers! 🤘 Øystein Berge (nprofile…jm70) 🎙UpBEATs🎶 (nprofile…p3zk) Silvie (nprofile…cwhj) DuhLaurien (nprofile…mle2) Sir Libre (nprofile…v3dt) AviBurra (nprofile…dxpg) boobury (nprofile…6l7w)

Here is a live video a fan took on her phone when we played our album release gig in 2023. This one is our latest release What You Mean To Me, and I think it really highlights how we took a song we only played live and brought it to life in our studio with overdubbing and adding other sounds. Not amazing quality but considering it was simply captured through an iPhone, its not too bad! More live footage to come!

Honestly I have respect for the minimalist approach. Its almost even more of an art to accomplish everything with less. Sometimes having more gear takes longer to learn and you have to know when its appropriate to use or not. Being the drummer and the mixer of the band however, I can be picky about getting a good drum sound to come through the mix. Its definantly one of the harder instruments to mix and get the tone/sound you want from it. But sometimes more mics doesn't mean better or easier. I find more mics gives you the ability to capture a better tone at the source but makes it more complicated to mix.

ivylumi (nprofile…ftr8) and us made number 1 and 2 on the most recent NOSTR weekly recap! Awesome to see how musicians are growing on NOSTR and reaching more people! Also, we are so stoked to have crushed the 200 followers mark after being here only 6 months! Hopefully more followers to come because we got lots more music to release! Rock on nostriches and Strange Lovers! 🤘 #music #nostrmusic #musicstr #strangeloveofmusic

Good advice with getting some gel on some shorter hair. I like to do that when it’s freshly cut. I will probably rock the longer hair for a couple more months and go shorter for the summer. And spoke it in front or something. Also digging the moustache and man bun! Maybe I will try the man bun too and see how it goes. If it ain’t working I will go short😂

I heard an interesting theory about the quantum threat to bitcoin…that it will be used to usher in a “solution” that will be the real threat to bitcoin. Like “hey update your wallet type to this new anti-quantum wallet” but it isn’t as secure as advertised. But I have faith in the Bitcoin community to see through the bull.

Ok nostriches…it’s the age-old question every musician asks himself at some point: Do I keep the long hair, or get it cut short again? I would especially take the opinion of Aaron of Essex (nprofile…fwp8) seriously, since he knows loads of musicians and is a hair stylist! 🧔🏻‍♀️ #asknostr

Really cool stuff. Sometimes having limitations can force more creativity. Do you also only have 8 tracks to record? I don't think we would be able to live with only 8 tracks haha! Do you record and play all the instruments as well? That's cool that you mix yourself too. The complete DIY package. We do that too, and it's an art all unto itself. So much learning and trial and error. We haven't used it for anything we have released yet, but we have a hybrid analogue board that we picked up used and are trying to figure out for our future recordings. especially for drums it really brings something out in them. Also being able to close mic the entire kit is nice. For most of what we recorded so far we were only able to use 4 mics on the drums: kick, snare and L/R overheads. This is our hybrid board...

Was reading an interview that Henrik Flyman (npub1n3e…e7su) gave for AmplifiedTunes (npub13g0…wkyn) website. Loved his response when asked how he approaches writing songs. This is very much how we feel too! Rock on brother! 🤘#demu #nostrmusic

“Honestly, there's no secret formula. I think it comes down to not trying to imitate anyone else. The music that resonates with me the most has a strong identity and melodies you can't forget—that matters way more than flawless technique, even though I respect that too. At the end of the day, I think personality in music comes from trusting your instincts and staying true to what feels right in the moment.”

Yes. Wavlake makes it so easy to put an AI generated song up on an rss feed and in the index. Are nostr music clients with rss feed generation also to blame? IDK if you saw my boost a couple days ago essentially asking that question, and then I had a friendly debate with some dude lol. There must be some way of filtering the AI content. I know on nostr music there sorta is. Some clients have an AI content toggle switch to reveal or hide stuff labeled as AI. Would that be possible on RSS apps?

Hey! I don’t speak Spanish but noticed you do and you are obviously into music and guitars! You should check out reydante77 (nprofile…8ucq). He is originally from Mexico but now lives in Canada and has released an album on fountain_app (nprofile…7u5r). He has more music on traditional platforms in both Spanish and English and even has a song called Cheap Guitar on YouTube, which if I am correct you were talking about cheap guitars in this post🤣. I especially like his tracks NUMEROS and Quieres Paz. Check him out and spread the word to other looking for decentralized Spanish music! 🤘

2026-04-22T21:30:55Z

Been on #nostr for 6 months now! And it has been such a great and refreshing experience. We have connected with some great people, other musicians, fans and some developers/builders.

When we first started, #nostrmusic was just born and so many cool clients and apps have been built for music on nostr. Sunami (nprofile…va2w) is a great app for musicians to upload their music to nostr and also a great app for listeners to play music.

Also can't say enough good things about the #podcast2.0 community. There are some really dedicated listeners and show hosts that make it their mission to get new RSS music heard and have some value sent to artists. Highly recommend Plebchain Radio (nprofile…a37r) Sunday Brunch episodes, Øystein Berge (nprofile…sfrx) 's show Mutton, Mead & Music, 🎙UpBEATs🎶 (nprofile…p3zk), Silvie (nprofile…cwhj) 's show Two for Tunestr, and last but not least DuhLaurien (nprofile…mle2) and marykateultra (nprofile…vy84) 's show Homegrown Hits, who only play fully decentralized music (#demu) and were awesome enough to have me on for an interview and exclusive release show on their 123rd episode!

Thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way, including ChadF and 33 others (nprofile…v2r3), Aaron of Essex (nprofile…3sr2) and boobury (nprofile…6l7w) who have been great for helping us understand this wonderful world when we were new and continue to be great supporters.

Sorry if I forgot to explicitly mention anyone else who has been instrumental (pun intended) in our integration into this space! We love all our supporters and fellow nostriches and hope to convert more into Strange Lovers!
