@SenescentDrummer13 Awesome! Sorry for my late reply by the way - hope that you’re doing OK and have been having a good week? 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx

@Shamanator Oh wow, that’s quite the load of boxes! 😱 I wish you the best of luck with your move to Melbourne, hope it all goes smoothly. Who are some of your favourite artists on here? 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant Good morning (here in NZ), Rosie!

Thank you for your kind wishes <<big hugs>>. The moving process is ticking along... car and motorcycle sold, along with the bulkier items that we can live without or which won't easily get into Oz—like the lawn mower and various other gardening tools.

Are you asking about favourite records in my shellac/vinyl collection, or artists that the hundreds of wonderful people on CoSo post about using the #CosoMusic tag?

Cheers! 🎶❤️🎶

@mikeflstfi Plus @KathyValentine, @Render and @XaoslordErie too 🎸

Thanks folks!

@mikeflstfi @BillyBones @KathyValentine @Render @XaoslordErie @stueytheround @northernbassist @sonnybillglover @lilyunsub @Sekhapada @ACID_CASUALTY Can any of the people tagged in these posts tell me a bit more of how this site works? I only just joined earlier today. 🙂🥺🤣💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant

Hi Rosie, and welcome. It's easy--you can read posts in the Community Firehose and Click respond, or you can start your own conversation. Click a user's handle, and you'll have the option too follow them, which means their posts will show in your 'My Friends' column. ...

@northernbassist @mikeflstfi @BillyBones @KathyValentine @Render @XaoslordErie @stueytheround @sonnybillglover @lilyunsub @Sekhapada @ACID_CASUALTY Hello there. 😃 Thanks for your tips, I think I’m getting there with the basics, but there’s still a good bit I need to learn & I’m finding hard to get my head around not being able to bookmark people’s replies so that I can easily find them at a later time. 🙄 Having to go through my mentions section isn’t ideal tbh. 🙄💖💙 Xxxx

@mikeflstfi
Thank you Mike. @rosielebontennant @BillyBones @northernbassist @sonnybillglover @lilyunsub @Sekhapada @ACID_CASUALTY

@mikeflstfi @stueytheround @BillyBones @northernbassist @sonnybillglover @lilyunsub @Sekhapada @ACID_CASUALTY Thanks! I’m not sure how often I will use this platform, but I’ll see how things go, considering that Twitter is basically dying & I have quite a few other platforms I’m on too, but as I saw someone on there mention here, I thought I’d give it a go. Hello to everyone else. This site looks/feels a bit like Mastodon so far. 🙂💖💙 Xxxx

@Cryspeg Yay! Who are some of your favourite bands/artists? 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant I’m mostly into Metal but do love Elaine Page and anyone who can sing Greensleeves right. I love Alan Parsons, Manfred Mann, Soundgarden, Metallica, Ozzy…and don’t tell anyone but I love Luke Bryan and the Backstreet Boys. Nickelback also. Don’t ruin my street cred 😬

@Cryspeg I like some songs by Nickelback, but I have to be honest and say that I’m not too familiar with most of the other bands/artists you mentioned, aside from Backstreet Boys. Guess you could say that I’m not crazy about metal really, for me, I’m more of a pop/electronic kind of girl. 😃🤣💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant several are electronic rock and pretty mellow.

@XaoslordErie That’s great. I don’t make music myself, but I happen to have quite the passion for it & love listening to quite a lot of different bands/artists. 😃😘 So far, I haven’t seen too many people too into music/films and pop culture on the likes of Mastodon and Spoutible yet, but I’m hoping that’ll change fairly soon, with the way Twitter is still going down hill & I’ve lost all hope for it getting better now tbh. 🥺💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant

I left the bird farm back in November, when it became clear it was about to turn into even more of a cesspool than it already was to begin with. You will find, however, that there is a vibrant arts culture here that covers all the bases, and it does so without bad-mouthing the rest.

BTW, have a look at the User Guide at @CoSoTips, so you'll know how to do hashtag searches and get answers to questions you will have as time passes. Also, check out the FAQ while you're there.

@XaoslordErie @CoSoTips Yeah I don’t blame you for leaving Twitter when you did, the only reason for why I haven’t is because there’s a lot of people I’ve built up friendships with & I don’t want to lose touch with them. It’s just annoying how stubborn some people are being, as in they won’t move to other platforms. 😔 I also hate how politicised Twitter has became in recent years and how hard it is for me to now meet new music/flim/pop culture fans as a result. So long ago, Twitter used to be…

@XaoslordErie @CoSoTips …a very fun/happy/positive and diverse platform and now it just…isn’t. I also feel like so many people I follow on there aren’t very happy anymore for one reason or another & whilst I get nobody will feel good all the time; when you feel like EVERYONE is down/complaining about something, it’s a bit much when you’re only seeing posts like that. 🙄😔 I’ll definitely take a look at the user guide & FAQ on here though, thanks! 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant

There are many musician friends I miss talking to, especially those in Japan that I had daily conversations with, but I wasn't able to convince any of them to come here, unfortunately. It's regrettable - but you couldn't pay me enoughto ever go back to that hotbed of bigotry and hatred and sickness that the bird farm became. And frankly, I don't have the time or the inclination to argue with people there. It really is better here - but I do miss my friends.

@XaoslordErie I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t able to convince any of the Japanese friends you used to know from Twitter to come over here. 😢😔 I feel your pain, I’m having similar issues with getting other people I’m very close friends with on Twitter to join other platforms myself. But I have built up too many friendships to lose in order to completely leave the platform. If/when more people I know join the likes of Mastodon/Spoutible & here, I’d likely be less hesitant about leaving,…

@XaoslordErie …but now is not that time, sadly. 😢😭💔 But I’m hoping it’ll happen sooner rather than later, because if the upcoming changes regarding famous people needing to pay for Twitter Blue to keep their ticks + having to pay to vote in polls don’t push more people away, then I honestly don’t know what will. 🙄 I don’t blame you for leaving, it really has been a shambles and it’s a shame to see a once beloved platform become this horrible mess. I’m glad things are better on here for you…

@XaoslordErie …and I’m sure I’ll enjoy this site more the more time I spend with it + get my head around it, but of course, there’s still a lot I need to learn, considering that I only joined a few days ago. 🙂🙃🤣💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant

Here, too, you will find some examples of what I do; I write, play all the instruments, mix, and master in my home studio; I hope you'll find something on the page you like:

@ACID_CASUALTY I’ll do that then! Thanks! 😃😘💖💙 Xxxx

@codeWhisperer Hello. Apologises for the late reply, but I appreciate your welcome regardless. Looking forward to meeting some new people on here, namely once I’ve figured out all the in’s and out’s of this site. I hope that you’re doing OK btw? 🙂💖💙 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant Thanks! And yes, for about the last 24 hours, I have felt better than I have in 8 years or so. 🙂

@codeWhisperer You’re welcome, and what’s caused you to be feeling better lately? 😃🤗😘💙💖 Xxxx

@rosielebontennant No idea, but somehow I just feel... I dunno... lighter. 🎶

@codeWhisperer Lighter in what way? 🙂💖💙 Xxxx
