Thanks so much for your comment on Christmas in February. The Groundhog Day movie connection you make is amazing! :) So insightful. And your singing voice is so unique and memorable. Thanks for sharing it here!

Thank you for taking a listen to Dear America (A Breakup Song), Dan. Glad that you got the emotion behind the song. It's definitely very real at the moment and even after Trump is gone, the damage to this relationship will be long-lasting.

@vomvorton sent me a link to that Anna B Savage album too! It’s a good enough plate to inspire two songs, I think

Ah you're in the same boat at @frenchcricket then, she was also okay with the jazz but didn't like the country.

Agreed on the world music, the stuff in there is mostly good (particularly enjoyed Os Mutantes and Astrud Gilberto) but there could definitely be more of it and less checks spreadsheet "anything with Eric Clapton on it"

Our 1001 project hasn't been going that long (started in October) and we're up to 1973 so far. I really struggled with all the jazz early on. I cannot do jazz. My knowledge of music before my own proper musical awakening (circa 1994?) was hopeless so I'm enjoying it as an exercise in blind-spot filling even if the list-makers made some pretty weird decisions at times. Like, looking forwards, did they really need to include multiple Morrissey solo albums as well as most of the Smiths stuff? And there are some pretty major artists who don't show up at all, although I think there's a "they were more of a singles artist" logic applied in some of those cases. But mostly enjoying it so far!

Love your work. Let me know if you are up for a collab. I think we have overlapping tastes that could work well together. If not, no worry!

Grabbed it for my best of Fawm 2025 playlist. Thank you so much!

I am indeed here this year, in spirit at least! Are you??

a fellow phoebe fan! nice to have you here

Ayup Dan, Happy FAWM to you!

Bring it!

Good to hear from you! Yes will be back, already considering my first move today.

Thank you!!

Yes indeed, and looking forward to hearing your offerings! Happy 15th to you...How the years fly by!

Hey! Welcome back! Not sure if we can swing it this year since both of us have been really bogged down w/ work & other stuff (boo!) but hoping to at least find time to record a song or 2. <3

Greetings that Dan. Do your thing!

G'day Dan. Have a great FAWM. Always look forward to hearing your stuff. Now I'm off to investigate those bands you've listening to. I suspect at least one of them's made up. (Port-is-head? Come on.)

hihi!! Happy almost-February to you! doffs hat

Hi Dan - I'm still struggling with a bunch of health issues, but very much looking forward to the February madness once again. Happy FAWMing!

salutes the sailing magpie Hope your juices are in full February flow soon dude!

May your FAWM be filled with love, joy, and laughter. (Running out of interesting soundboard comments so I googled some inspiring messages to copy)

It's probably about time for a cape revival

Hey mister! Hope you have a good one!

Ah, bands that never really get off the ground. A sad and familiar tale 😔 at least we have February! We'll always have FEBRUARY

Eh up Dan! I mean...it was enjoyable, but I think that's only because it was my own room and I had a few "I haven't seen this in ages!" moments. So, unless you've been robbing me slowly over the years, I might not get the same joy :(

And a very good day to you 👋

Salut !

Happy FAWM! I hope you have a fun and fruitful month!

you too!! hoping to do a better job this year of actually sticking around after the first few days 🙏🙏
