Moonshine was consumed. Fires were lit. Tornadoes were dodged. And a crapload of fun was had! Roo is back from Oklahoma, where he attended Wild Nights, and has a new episode of Fuzzy Notes for you, featuring (of course) the music made by furs!
This week's show features two artists he saw perform at Wild Nights - Drumming Raccoon and A Dozen Dead Furs - as well as returning artists Scales, Fayyette and Aethryx alongside newly minted Fuzzy Notes artists Rory (who Roo refers to as Jetstream in the episode), Gonn and Quaidis.

HOUSEKEEPING:
FUZZY NOTES ARTIST CHALLENGE:
A semi-regular musical challenge sent out to all furry songwriters, producers and musicians to try something different! All the information is in the episode, but the low down is:
* You are given a basic concept - a theme, a single lyric, maybe a musical restriction - and I CHALLENGE you to write a song based on that concept.
* Songs can be any genre…the only rule to be considered is it must somehow convey the concept
* All songs submitted will be featured on a special episode of Fuzzy Notes
* All songs are winners, but one will be chosen out of the group by a panel consisting of Potoroo, a furry musician, and someone involved in the music industry outside of furry (a recording artist, a producer, a manager, a radio promoter or personality, etc.) based on three factors: the relevance to the theme, creativity, and what can best be described as ‘How excited we are about the song!’
* The artist selected will have their own CODA interview episode focusing on their music and the song they created, bragging rights, and some kind of cool prize
The goal is to challenge furry musicians to try something a bit different, and to get more furry music into the world...which benefits us all!
The first Fuzzy Notes Challenge concept: RADIO SILENCE
Use this as inspiration: maybe a lyric, maybe a mood, maybe you'll use radio static in your song...who knows! It's up to you!
Deadline for entry is June 1st. Submit your songs to Roo via email (it can be a Dropbox or Soundcloud link) at fuzzynotespodcast@gmail.com.
FUZZY NOTES FAN CHALLENGE:
This one's easy, a way to show support to furry musicians without spending a penny.
* Go to the Fur Affinity account of artist you enjoyed in this episode and watch them!
* Go to a track you enjoyed and favourite it!
* Let an artist know what you like about their music by writing a comment on the track!
* Share your favourite song of the episode on Facebook or Twitter!
In other words, take the few seconds it takes to share what you think about the music you love so that others will see that the musician has got some love!
The furry world is very art and stor(continued)
