Watched the first part of Wicked, and I'd pretty much die for Cynthia Erivo now. She's magnificent. When she was on Strictly a few weeks ago I was simultaneously disquieted and delighted by her weird, intense energy. But I finally, fully get it now (and my own reaction then): she's magnificent.

Heading into the weekend with a pretty folk classic that's just so much fun to sing. Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡

The latest Fantastic 4 movie, I'm not sure whether it should have been called Fantastic 4: Mother Stands For Comfort, or Fantastic 4: This Woman's Work. Both versions fit the two main female characters fine. So yeah, it was definitely kind of 60s in its stylings!

Last week I promised another Rasputina cover was coming, and I'm immensely proud of this one. It's such an upsetting song, but I feel like it's more poignant than ever today...

Having read Barbra Streisand's autobiography and Elizabeth Taylor's biography it's unsurprising, but still a goddamn tragedy, how patently they were demonised and reviled for being fucking AWESOME while female.

In the late 90s, all us gothy gals heard this song at Drusilla's party and fell in love, so this one has been a long time coming... Blessed Samhain, and Happy Halloween!

We will never tire of seeing copies of the mag in people’s hands so do please keep (or perhaps start) buying them! We run this boondoggle on a shoestring so every sale really does matter & allows us to make more of them, more frequently & with more amazing art & great writing shop.wyrd.science

Don't mind me, just having a moment singing Eldest Daughter to my inner child. It's funny, I wrote a song for her a while ago, and it has the same vibes as Eldest Daughter. Maybe one day I'll put it somewhere? Until I give myself that grace, we have Eldest Daughter for now, now. Now. 🧡

Why yes, it IS the perfect day for the soundtrack to The Craft.

IT'S A DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!!

I smile every year when I take out the Halloween decorations and see my old folder, but college me was pretty cool, and beautifully queer.

I worked (albeit distantly) with Itagaki san on Devil's Third. He was 100% his public persona professionally; passionate, enigmatic, abrasive and hilarious. His English turn of phrase was singular and wonderful. As he signed off back then: "Thanks always, mates"

Just having a spontaneous little happy cry to the bridge of Eldest Daughter while these wonderful creatures are sat on me. Now I'm home.

Trying to decide which song from The Life of a Showgirl to do a stripped-down cover of for my YouTube channel, and the problem is I can't choose because I basically love them all 🧡

Last night I performed some songs for my folks-in-law's 50th anniversary, at their request. It was a lovely evening, and I'm honoured to have been a part of their celebration. 🧡

It's about fucking time someone was nice to her is all I'm saying.

In #Efteling. Wondering whether there's a version of Efteling down the street where the intent is similar but the vibes are off - A Universal to Efteling's Disney. Then I realised, that's every theme park in the UK.

As a birthday gift to myself, I'm letting this song that I wrote exist in the world, not just my notebook. Happy birthday, me!

I don't trust anyone who wants to tell me or rather, wants to instruct me, in WHAT ART IS.

Listen, the new Skunk Anansie album is really good, but here's a throwback to the late 90s, just because it feels good - and in this case, it's SO right. 🧡

Made a swan neck splint ring from a ring I got online for 64p, and oh my goodness, my life is changed.

This morning it's lash lift, brow lamination, dye the both, whiten teeth, pedicure, manicure...and come out feeling like some kind of magical girl ✨⭐

Cleaning my oven and now have that bit from the Thriller outro voiceover about the funk of 40,000 years looping in my head.

I don't tend to put my pictures on here, but I enjoy pleasant little blips on the feed, so...

Got a huge old miniature paint haul for 6 quid at the car boot, including a bunch of colours I've always loved 🧡

Did a big cry at KPop Demon Hunters because it hit me hard right in my artist's journey feels.

A song about the disappointment of technological dreams, forced and failing, at the price of our environment and our humanity? A missive from the near past that's still so relevant in the age of ubiquitous A*I, I'd say. Would love if you'd take a listen to my cover of this classic 🧡

Clearly, truffles do something good to my brain. So it'll be truffle everything this autumn!

One of my favourites from Jagged Little Pill this week! Would love if you'd take a listen 🧡

Wanted a nice burnt orange hat à la the Red cover, but they're all mad pricy or the wrong shade/fabric/cut. Found the right kind of hat for cheap, but in the wrong colour, got some dye, and went to town. Looks like it's gonna come out perfect 🧡 The hat's in the wash now and I cannot wait.

Look people, I am just silly excited for Strange Antiquities, which comes out tomorrow.

Fighting with myself over whether to use the pristine, perfect take of today's cover (filename_NAILEDIT) or the one that has a few tiny twangs but features my big ginger catboy (filename_BIG ONGE). I'm gonna have a vulnerability hangover later anyway, so I'm trying my best to go with BIG ONGE.

you're too good for her Kuromi

It's the fucking blood moon, Link.

I enjoy how sometimes mango tastes like weird soap, and sometimes it tastes like nicotine - or rather, it tastes like the way your clothes smell the day *after* you've been out for an evening in a place where people were smoking.

Here's my arrangement of that incredibly catchy song from Sharpe - with aaaaaaaall the verses. 🧡 Take a listen now.

Got new brushes, brush cleaner and my first wet palette. Ready for some fun!

Marking our 20-year wedding anniversary with some Enya. No irony here, it's an exquisite song 🧡

MY SMART, MAGNIFICENT, KIND FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED TO HER LOVELY MAN AND I AM SO HAPPY FOR HER 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I knew it would be terrible, but nothing prepares you for how overwhelming grief can be.

This one goes out to Elanore and Kristian - and anyone else for whom results day matters. Well done, y'all. youtu.be/1xc15dJQKbg

Just got some *good* headphones and listening to music I know by heart feels totally new. It's like a religious experience.

It's nice seeing some game trailers and feeling excited.🧡

Today I figured out who Ebon Moss-Bacharach reminds me of: Donald O'Connor.

Heading into the weekend with a song that sounds like summer... youtu.be/-Dz_kkQfpNE

A gentle, low register song this week, and beautiful with just voice and ukulele. Would love if you'd take a listen. 🧡 youtu.be/4NHApPqxGJs

During a recent 14 hour A&E trip, this song was rolling around in my head. Would be honoured if you'd take a listen to my version of this Billy Joel classic

Finally watching The Wheel of Time and Rosamund Pike is So. Ridiculously. Good.

As a tiny kid I'd twirl around listening to my Dad's ELO tapes. I'm pretty much still doing that. Would love if you'd take a listen to my cover!
