This year's Eid in Malaysia is so fascinating pop culturally - so for the respective language markets, Malaysian songwriters have been quietly (??) dominating the respective markets when it comes to festival songs (eg China gets our CNY music; Indonesia gets our Raya music; even southern India I think gets our Deepavali music but more commonly our people pen songs for their movies too) but it's always been quite separated for natural reasons. This year though I'm seeing more confluence. This isn't even the first Chinese Malaysian Raya song for 2025 that got on my feed lol. I think we're all collectively warming up to the upcoming Kongsi Raya (CNY and Eid will fall on the same set of days lmaoooo and naturally that's a pun on Gong Xi - as kongsi raya literally means "shared festival/holiday") from 2029 to 2031. We're going to be so stressed and useless

The second song didn't come out as well for two reasons:
1. It's heavy metal, a lot more screaming/loud singing
2. it really pushes into the upper part of my range and I miss a lot of notes
Still, I wanted to share it because it's a lot of fun to sing and there are still some sections that come out really well IMO, especially the very end. It's worth showing my limitations as well as strengths.
Song is The Vampyre by He Is Legend
So I've been learning to sing lately, targeting a specific style that I'd like to do some like bluesy folk-punk with. I got a couple done this morning and I'm pretty excited to share. Unfortunately the quality isn't the best as I just have a cheap podcasting mic and it clips hard when I get loud. Some of the better-sounding bits of the loud singing in this come from me actually putting the mic fully behind my back, so if anyone has any recommendations for a cheap mic that can handle a lot of volume LMK.
The first is Greenback Boogie by Ima Robot, I really like how this one came out.
If anyone knows any poets or people who play instruments who'd want to collaborate, I'd like to meet some folks. Especially if you're in the CNY area.

@DamonHD @lazyb0y @GossiTheDog #CNY is utterly useless for anything but deals with chinese companies, and even they prefer € / #EUR more often than not.
- I'd rather expect #EUR to dethrone the #USD as main trading currency because the @ecb / #ECB and every member bank / national regulator in the "#Eurosystem" takes a hard & rational approach to #regulation!
Been having fireworks for the last week but tonight's extra special loud and I forgot why... Sooooooo

One woman’s quest to preserve the fading art of lion-head crafting.
Despite high demand for lion costumes every Chinese New Year, only a few artisans, such as Lim Seow Ling, are dedicated to this time-honoured activity.

My take-away from Chinese New Year is that the locals have really turned on Sichuan Hot Pot #singapore #malaysia #cny

Happy Lunar New Year! I haven’t had time to cook up something new, but I did dig up this guy. Its Sinkhole Sam! I did this little big guy for @cryptidcrate and he was a ton of fun. For whatever reason, I get a Eureeka’s Castle vibe off this guy and I’m here for it. -ClydeThe Sinkhole Sam legend from Kansas tells the story of a monstrous creature said to inhabit Inman Lake, particularly near a notorious sinkhole. The legend is rooted in local folklore, with some believing Sam is a prehistoric holdover that was trapped as rivers and streams in the area dried up.

Happy Chinese New Year!
I was working on the whole series, but I got sidetracked last year by my #ADHD.
