- Want a tip to be more confident DJing? Learn the words to the tracks in your set 👾
1️⃣ Write out the lyrics. Pen to paper helps to brain retain info. Then, break it down: start by learning one section at a time.
2️⃣ Speak sections of the lyrics aloud. Sing them, if there’s a melody.
3️⃣ Visualize the lyrics: Create mental images or a story to associate with each line.
4️⃣ Repetition is key: Repeat the lyrics over and over until they become second nature.
5️⃣ Take a break and then come back to it. This locks it all in.
Want more tips on DJing? Drop a 🔥 in the comments and I’ll DM you with a few of my favorites that have been useful to me and my students ⚡️

- Throwback to producing when I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There were 10 of us artists living in one warehouse with one window (never again) and one bathroom, and the walls were made of beams from barn ceilings. The one rule was that you couldn't tell anyone to be quiet 🙊
HBO would shoot episodes of Boardwalk Empire at our front entrance. It was a super creative and fun time 🌿

Just logged into @orbapp.lens via a QR code and am now writing this here without having a mobile wallet.
Phew! Le sigh. I’ve been waiting for this for months. I feel like this was the highlight of my day 🙏🏼
I was even receiving help from someone who works at Ledger and we didn’t find the answer.
This QR code is the answer! Now let’s see how it works over the next few days. Does it ask you to sign in again after closing the app?

- Back in the game after a holiday and early 2023 hiatus. Good to be back here, lensfrens 🌿
Really, the biggest reason for my hiatus other than getting organized with a new job and travel is due to security reasons.
I want to be able to interact with Lens on the go on mobile but not have my identity compromised. Every time I use Lens now I'm at home on my safe security network, logged in through my Ledger. I want to have long-term ownership of my identity on the blockchain, and it's too important to me to be risky with it.
I know Ledger's rolling out a MetaMask integration this year. That's one option to get on mobile. Another option is Phaver, but in Dec either it worked on my phone and the desktop didn't upgrade, or vice versa.
Trying to figure this security piece out. If you have guidance for how you use Lens securely on mobile without putting your seed phrase into MetaMask, I'm alllllll ears.
Similarly, if I find out a solution, I'll share it here.
- Who here keeps their @lens and ENS handles and addresses on a Ledger yet somehow connects to Lens apps via Metamask on mobile? How do you do it? Need some tech assistance. I don't want to compromise my security of my handles, but I also want to use Lens apps on my phone. HAAALP! Thx!
- My recent post on what in the Ethereum application ecosystem excited me:
https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/12/05/excited.html
- **A Reflective Lens**
For December 2022 I'm going to post a daily photo from my archive and try to reflect on it a little bit. At the end of the month we'll see if this has led anywhere. I'm hopeful it will.
**5:48am to 6am — Ariake to Daiba**
The first photo of this series is from the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, which of course was held in 2021. I had seen Tokyo a few times before but never like this. New York had opened back up, life was returning to normal, but Japan was still very conservative regarding COVID and safety protocols. It was brutally hot every day, it felt unfair we had to wear a mask, but this commute I had for 5 of the 6 weeks was exactly 12 minutes of a peaceful space for reflection and mental preparation.
This particular stretch of track teased us with a glimpse of a city we could not touch. The first two weeks of work we had to remain on Odaiba, quarantined on an island in the bay. Fifteen days of clean COVID tests would provide us our ticket, figuratively and literally, to the rest of the city.
I was one of a handful of people allowed into a country which remained closed for 2.5 years, during an event even fewer got to see first hand. I am eternally grateful for my circumstances and to the people of Japan.

- Thinking about using AI to help with marketing materials in 2023 (brainstorming, copywriting, art - like cover art for singles), and making it part of the messaging. Making it known with the public experimentation.
Who here is using AI? Which platforms do you like? Are there any that you don't?
I'm looking into Notion's AI, Lex, Jasper, DALL-E, and Midjourney. I've stumbled across others, but these stood out to me the most for my needs so far.
Your experience and recs?

#LMCC went viral. There as a hard-fork proposal to shorten it to #LMC.
However the best MEME won the proposal.
@jessicaelawson.lens just released her morning show and it is already night.
Still trying to figure out #Lenstopia, as I have Steph the drummer in my wallet.
Looking forward for the next @chriscomrie.lens interview.

- Singing - how to break down riffs & runs
Singing riffs and runs is all about combining structure with style. Here's a look at structure.
I highly recommend analyzing what's going on in songs you love so you can create your own in a similar style!
It's a passion of mine to help singers find their authentic voice. DM me if you're an emerging or experienced singer wanting to develop your voice on a new level.

- I wrote an article that took me 1.5 years to draft discussing my web3 tool stack and how I leverage Bello's onchain insights.
It's exclusive to read for those who collect my free NFT on Mirror.
Here's what to expect by collecting. 🧵
ICYMI, yesterday we debuted the article in a Twitter space and hundreds tuned in! Check out the recap here: https://twitter.com/levychain/status/1593333213945995266
I list the site builders, protocols, CRMs, and more that I use on a monthly basis as a way to manage my content operation and build community.
I also review how I’ve used onchain data as my secret weapon for prepping podcast seasons and how you can use it too.
Why did this take me 1.5 years?
Because I've been trying so many different tools for what feels like forever, so this list is my most comprehensive breakdown to date.
