The Backwards Thread
-
@elainedimasi Jan 2022
What a finish, what an inspiring call to action! Talk about ending this broadcast with a bang and not a whimper!
And now that is it, everyone, for this year's Backwards Thread. We've heard the news, the reviews, the daily snooze, and the hot-mic-mishaps-after-the-interviews. We've gotten the skinny, pushed fellow FAWMers to ignominy, been guinea pigs, and done the last-minute program rejigs.
Now it's time to tune up, shout it out, and yes you were waiting for this, POST SONGS! Now snap and clap and jazz-trap to it! -

And that Slothcore album was a m a z i n g. The naps really refreshed me this February.

@reklov Jan 2022
Oh yes, you're totally right! Just think about the "Make Up New Genres" Challenge we did last year! I made an "Acoustoclash" contribution as well as as a "Monophonic" piece - not to forget about "Slothcore"!

I cant wait for next year, who would have thought it would end like that i guess that just what opossums do!

@bradbrubaker Jan 2022
@coolparadiso, what's this I heard about you walking in on your partner and @opossum in flagrante? I guess you're ready to forget about 2022, yeah?

I am pleased to report that in the case of Wordsmith v Chief Censor of New Zealand, Justice Venning voted in favour of the defendant - and visiting fawm dot com after 2021 is no longer considered an offense in this country.
I want to thank you all for your messages of prayer and support. It's been a trying month, but I am armed and dangerous with no shortage of song material... all of which I will be proud to post to fawm dot com
(all the same, I'm about ready to forget about 2022...) -

Amazing. The interviews we host here never cease to strain incredulity and at the same time, reinforce our faith in songwriter nature.
And now for a news bulletin on an issue we all hold dear. Here's our New Zealand correspondent: -
@ductapeguy Jan 2022
So I struggled through the month and got my FAWM win, but HE was on fire? How can someone write 76 dancepop songs in one month?
-
@carleybaer Jan 2022
I think the final count was 76. Or 78 if you count the ones with the barking dog samples, but I’d just as soon leave those out.

How many roads did Alan Lomax walk down before he called it a day?

@kable Jan 2022
Double the escape velocity?? How does that even happen? Amazingly done, FAWMers!
-
@johncrossman Jan 2022
I'm just going to lie here immobile and let it all sink in.
-
@toms Jan 2022
@johncrossman you must be tuckered after completing a double FAWM - and then there is that article about your final song, what an amazing bit of virality that caused! What are you planning now that that blew up so big and so positively?

@elainedimasi Jan 2022
~sigh~
Fabulous artist spotlight, folks. I can't even.
(Careful with that hot mic though folks.)
And now for a new feature we're trying out this year, the "FactOidLympics" !!! Featuring remarkable, remarkable achievements and events ... ~numerically~ !
Take it away! -

So, when can we start posting new songs? Is it February 1st my time or anytime in the world?
