Make it. Post it. Tag it.

Put your song where you normally post. Add #jamuary. No account here, no upload form, no extra link to paste.

Automatic collection for public YouTube and Tumblr posts is being set up. Instagram, X, and Bandcamp aren't connected yet; the hashtag alone won't bring those posts into this gallery.
