@bsots @wjmaggos no, that wasn't it. it was a thought that crossed my mind but wasn't the thing I wanted to bring up.

That was actually whether or not we wanted to have #NLorY be essentially a HoF induction. That's what we did with the #cccma for the regional winners. Basically, let's say Jumpsuit wins this year. Jumpsuit couldn't win again in the future.

Which is not to say they couldn't win other awards if we introduce them, just not NLotY.

When I announced this privately to a few folks this morning, I was thinking just USA, but in writing the blog, I realized there's really no reason to exclude Canada.

I didn't talk about this in the blog but back when I started #cccma my goal was to have local awards in all 50 states. I hope we're able to grow enough such that having a separate org for Canada makes sense. it's a long way from Halifax to Vancouver. Musicians probably need a lot of help touring. #ccmusic

Nightly @fccmworkingsessions comes with a truth hurts blog: https://friendsofccmusic.org/2025/02/01/no-cc-cma-in-2025/ #ccmusic #cccma

Also, I am going to download the video for anyone that requests it, but there is some sensitive data on the screen. It's brief, but I can't leave it out there.

blog post was going to go into more depth but I can't help but think we really didn't get anywhere yesterday. Sure, we agreed on some important points. Mike's going to design a logo. We're going to keep the #cccma alive.

But the fundamental issues still remain.

I've largely thought of the org as a UN of #ccmusic. I even call myself the Secretary General in my email signature. Not just the General Assembly but sending resources to troubled areas (in this case maybe that's troubled projects)

@ryno @wjmaggos @Cheesetruck all I can tell you is #cccma got a cease and desist.

this rings true to me. Got a lot of toxic feedback about #cccma

I accidentally recorded this short on the old CC Listening Parties page, which I guess serves the purpose of reminding folks that some cool stuff exists over there: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WhivSU8dsEQ

A lot of the videos say "1 year ago" but we actually stopped using it about 2 years ago to try to better promote the #CCCMA

In any case, lots of great #ccmusic to sort through

the last few years I've been in the middle of the finals days of the #cccma on #iwd but maybe we should do something for it. of course the problem is it's not really ideal for a bunch of dudes to be planning an international women's day event.

I suppose just because it's been a problem for 15 years doesn't mean it isn't worth trying to solve but Ive invited Kara and Emily to events. I really just don't know what to do. #dei

Does anyone have a suggestion for a platform for running the @friendsofccmusic@mastodonmusic.social global election (and possibly US election) on July 13? For #cccma I have always used Google Forms, but the judges have also been a specific set of folks, and I want as many people to vote as are willing for the elections.

@wjmaggos there's no one talk to. look who showed up. We've had this problem with #cccma for years. musicians are busy making music. podcasters are busy podcasting. netlabel curators are busy curating. people may want to be involved, but it's not going to happen.

that said, we can focus on Netlabel Day this year and see if that brings anyone to the fold.

#CCCMA Nominee Show #2 is in the can. A lot more talking this week than last week, and Donnie and I catch up:
