As many qualms I might have with the importance of knowing who came before you instead of just doing your own thing, my hatred for anything #AI prevails. This is a very #goodread on the danger for all of us which a certain type of people carries within them.

Made the mistake of clicking on an instagram ad for ethical cat food and now wholly mother of hell my internet feed is entirely comprised of ethical fucking cat food ads.

between DAAM and MEANS there’s now 7 packages that haven’t survived the post system over the last few weeks. Each lost parcel costs me the item involved + the £ to resend it: for small fish like me eradicates all profit for the year so far. Small problems in the scheme of things but still sucks.

I just want to say, unequivocally, that I was never a friend of Peter Mandelson, despite the WhatsApp messages to the contrary. We barely spoke during the recording of that trilogy of avant-electro albums he did for DAAM, and he only stayed at my house that 1 time coz his train home got cancelled.

It’s a bit dry, but this is arguably the most important thing that humans can do right now to avoid our planets demise (short of abolishing capitalism, which isn’t a realistic goal in the near/mid future): www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As close as we're going to get to another TEXT album. I'm sold.

Just played the most awkward gig of my life. My set was 'fine', but tensions between the organizers devolved into borderline cruelty. Honestly, with all that's going on in the world - if you can't be nice to people around you, just be quiet and go home. No need to publicly admonish people.

nothing like joining your local community Facebook group to discover how many racists live in your pretty little town.

One of those days where it feels crazy to do ANYTHING but stare agog at the news, but that's no more helpful than getting on with things: creating art is at its core a step towards potentiality - others ways of being beyond reality as it stands. Which is a long way of saying: new Patreon is up!

Been reading a book about the collapse of major civilisations throughout history. It’s striking both how similar many of the triggers are to whats currently happening in the US, and how quickly (as in, a few decades) large civilisations can completely fall apart.

Finally got a job interview for a job I actually want. I did explain in my application that I have no real experience solving 'marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena' for a fringe department within the FBI, but they seemed to think I could learn on the job.

Not checked out Near Minerals Talking Castle OST yet? As a small label the numbers are always tight. But if I sell 4 more copies of the vinyl, I can afford to do a full pressing, which would be amazing. Could YOU make all the difference? difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-ta...

Going to launch a new art-punk / punk-adjacent / slow core / weird-heavy band music sub-label of DAAM this year. Completely open to submissions or recommendations of projects that fit that description and might like to get involved! PLEASE SHARE!

LONDON-BASED ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS! Anyone interested in playing an (unpaid) gig mid/end Feb? Broadly experimental vibes. It's in an art-gallery in Vauxhall. Something that engages with the theme of 'law / dissensus / protest' would be ideal but not required. Get in touch if interested!

A cheesy folk cover album featuring Norah Jones being one of the best albums of 2025 was absolutely not on my bingo card.
