snoozefestaudio82F and sunny on this Sunday, but it'll be down in the high 70s in a few more hours. We had a lot of rain and thunder on Friday night, and I think this time I got the thunder on tape for real.
Haven't checked the S10 yet, however, because I've been too busy with the artwork for the old albums.
I did get everything done for, Coffeehouse Boyfriend, however. And then, after adding in the lyrics, while I was pasting in the hashtags, I saw that... Oh!.. SoundCloud makes a distinction between an album and a playlist!
Basically, an album is a type of playlist, and after I checked a box, calling, Coffeehouse Boyfriend an album... it now appears under albums, rather than playlists, with the release date of July 29th 2023!
So now, if I just go in order of when they were originally relased, they'll all appear under that heading in the correct order, and no longer be lost in a sea of other random crap!

This was always an option for me... I was just too stupid to realize it!
I was similarly astounded to see that, in the past, I had selected, "custom genre" for these songs, and then, in the box to give my genre it's custom label... I put hashtags instead!
That would be idiotic enough, but the hashtags I used were things like, #pat #melody #aurora #coffeehouse boyfriend, which are completely useless and totally miss the point!
So... again, correcting all this, eight years after they were originally uploaded will not get these albums any new plays.
But when I upload new content, which does draw new listeners, then if they're spotlighted, they may get a little attention.
I can only spotlight five things at a time, so the best way to approach it with old albums is to pick one... spotlight the album itself... and spotlight two or three individual tracks from that album.

Work has begun on the graphics for Wig City, but I wasn't drawing or taking photos during this time period, so I have to produce ten images from scratch.
So the approach i'm taking is to take my own photographs for backdrops... outdoor scenes around town... and then use Poser to put human figures in front of those backdrops... and then process the photos and paint over the figures so that everything has the same look.
It's a process I have a lot more experience with, so it'll go 20 times faster than attempting to draw everything freehand with a pencil in a sketchpad, and color it on the computer.
