Looking ahead to the release of Alone In Valentine. I obviously want to do an early #V4V release. I feel like I've been sleeping on some of the #nostr music development. (Does music have it's own kind/NIP? and if there's a plethora of nostr specific music clients that emerge, I guess your music on nostr will be easily discoverable? ) I'm want to push my physical merch as that's the best way to make money back from the upfront costs of recording. But I also want to explore what other options I might be missing / have overlooked in the V4V space. Should I look into @Fanfares ? (Not sure if they're doing music yet) As well as @Wavlake for RSS, I want to look at what direct #nostr music publishing can offer. My only reservation is that if I wanted or needed to take music down in the future, that would be difficult or near impossible. Not that I think that would ever happen. The main problem still remains that people without sats (most people) won't be able to partake in this ecosystem, until a platform streamlines the onboarding process and that requires regulation and a company of some kind to be the middle man between credit cards/ apple pay and sats that can be zapped. Also looking for a nostr alternative to youtube to publish music videos for sats. Any comments / suggestions from the community are welcome! #asknostr

Just got word that the vinyls have gone into production and everything is on track for the release of Alone In Valentine in April. If you'd like to listen early, you can still pre-order a copy from my website and I will make sure it is delivered ahead of the main release > https://www.joemartinmusic.com/preorder *limited amount of merch bundles left 📷 - Steve Anderson PS. I have also set up a @Shopstr Markets page to sell the physical merch for sats also. LFG! ⚡ 🤘

Hope everyone had a restful Christmas, happy New Year and are ready to take 2026 head on! UK friends, I'm releasing a new album followed by a tour of the north with my band. Can't wait to see you on the road and get the album into your hands. Thanks to everyone who's already pre-ordered a copy. If you'd like to hear the stories behind how the songs were written, I'd love to see you at a show in April.

Thanks Avi for the play. So grateful for the continued support from the V4V community. This year is going to be my biggest release so far and I want to get some feedback from the #nostr community as to how I should do it. Video to follow soon . Also, go give Scardust a listen and a zap, they're awesome! 🤘 View quoted note →

2026 is gonna be our year 💪 Happy new years #nostr
