Sad to say that even though some fantastic #animation has been submitted for our next hour-long special on @TIBtv, it isn't nearly enough to make a full show. Surely there's more than 10 #animators on the #Fediverse? 😂 Know someone who makes cool stuff? Tag […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I released my debut EP, A Matter of Time, 5 years ago today. Here's a new remix of "Years Go By" and an accompanying video that is essentially a "remix" of the original 2021 video with some new backgrounds, overlays and footage. A Matter of Time...Redux is coming soon. youtu.be/Yq3zETIUce0?...

Peter Gabriel and me - Stan Stewart - @muz4now

I have heard Peter Gabriel in concert four times including the i/o tour. Attending this most recent concert inspired me to share how much this human being and his music have influenced me.

I wrote "Age of Idiocracy" in January 2025 when it became clear the Trump 2.0 regime would include the worst/dumbest people alive. With the recent UFC White House event, the Reflecting Pool fiasco & the Iran War clusterfuck, it seems like a good time to revisit the track. youtu.be/dhyycld8gY0?...

3 years ago today, I released “Life’s in the Balance” as a single. I wrote it in May 2023 in an emergency room while experiencing a malignant hyperthermia crisis (105.5º body temp). Every $20 or so it takes in from streams/downloads, I donate it to MHAUS.org. Stream/download: wp.me/PcZlvI-96

Ferocious Designs submits “Nobody’s Coming to Save the Day” for 24-hour song contest

Ferocious Designs, the mostly DIY music project of Central New Jersey-based songwriter Brian Kelley, wrote and recorded "Nobody's Coming to Save the Day" June 6-7 for this year's WXPN 24-Hour Song Challenge, based on the prompt of "freedom." WXPN, the non-commercial, member-supported radio station based out of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, launched the 24-hour song challenge in 2024, and Kelley has submitted a song for each of the three contests.

This past weekend was the @wxpnfm.bsky.social 24-Hour Song Challenge. We had 24 hours to write a new, original song after we were given the prompt "freedom." Here is what I came up with..."Nobody's Coming to Save the Day"... youtu.be/nEIvWgiyc84?...

I don't watch Euphoria so I'm just finding out now season 3 opened with Zendaya's character Rue rocking out to "Ride Like the Wind" while running drugs across the Mexican desert. Wonder how the scene would've worked with my version of the Christopher Cross classic? music.youtube.com/watch?v=cHHE...
