This week: the vivid 70s pop sound of #TheLemonTwigs, a Brazilian classic from #ElisRegina, a gorgeous ballad from @itsmrcross.bsky.social (no, not the tune you're thinking of), a track from the "Chess" soundtrack by @msleasalonga.bsky.social + the last #1 from UK's #TheJam.

Hello all,

An overdue introduction: After leaving a busy life over on #MusicTwitter for years (leaving for all the usual reasons), we're happy to be here on BlueSky.

We're probably(?) the largest collection of tunes featuring key changes, dating from 1709 through the early 2020s (so far).

Spotify's biz model requires the care and feeding of a billionaire CEO. You do the math.

This was quite the week at Modulation of the Day! Tunes/pieces from #Beethoven, Audra McDonald, Procol Harum, Third Reprise, and Devo.

We also left the Other Place ... but there wasn't much going on there other than blocking spambots, so it's all good!
