@WrenArcher Haha, pre-fawm-traditions. Great idea, I'll have my eyes open for that, there are none that I'm aware of (yet). I'm just rummaging ideas, skribbling down some concepts (what my songs could be about) and trying to find model songs. Oh well, there is this one tradition actually: I'm checking the fawm-site since december if there might be some things going on already. Just to learn that I'll need more patience. And yeah, I'm searching for conversations about fawm, like so

What to do about preparing for #FAWM ? Have another shot at learning enough about using synthesizers during January? Or hold out for further improvement in my arthritis and try to practice the guitar?And is FAWM even going to be worth it? Last year felt like a transitional year, the last where you could be reasonably sure that most songs weren't AI generated and the ones that were were easy to identify.

The first ideas for FAWM 2026 are landing in my cortices: I'll write songs exclusively about the beauty of public goods and common pool goods this year. Maybe one or two songs about a nice little club good as well. https://fawm.org/#Fawm #FAWM2026 #PublicGoods #CommonPoolGoods #Songwriting
