Hello!

Welcome to another jam.coop newsletter. We've been working on some new features this week, and have a few fun things to share at the end too.

Following artists

You can now follow artists by clicking on the "follow" button on any artist page (for example pinyonpine's). Any new albums from that artist will then appear in your feed.

Live previews of music on social media

We've added richer preview cards so that when you share a link to an album people can listen to it directly in their social media feed. For example, here's a live preview on the jam.coop mastodon:

I'm feeling lucky

Now playing on jam.coop

Here's a few jam.coop releases we've been enjoying listening to this week while working on the code:

• Evaporating by Zook: uplifting power-pop from Nashville.
• Acid Jam 02 by Sonic Walker: banging DAWless jams.
• Full Cold Moon by Elite Panic: Written fast on small machines. Hit me with those laser beams.
