1/3 It strikes me that someone in the EU could offer to host small UK's labels stock and post it on within EU, and charge 1 euro per item handling. As a small label, the cost of shipping X tapes to EU would be offset by cheaper onward shipping within EU.

Nice one! I've just ordered by MEANS t-shirt! www.artisstillhonest.com/store/p/mean...

Business update: created a mailing list. Incorporates both label and mag, + research and design work. Planning a monthly update detailing what we've been up to. Took a while to find an affordable client, but Octopus mail seems good. Want to join the mailing list? Just reach out and I'll add you!

Calling all DIY music lovers! There are currently 39 Bandcamp releases waiting for review on _nsigned! If you are interested in listening to some new music, head on over to _nsigned to tell us what you think of it! #diymusic #musicsky #bandcamp https://nsigned.com/review-requests

Email alias done - I have separate sub-domains for MEANS, DAAM, Loyalty Corps, and the main umbrella (Art Is Still Honest). Booked a place on a free course to get business skills + made an advert for a intern (unpaid but profit-share once it gets going).

Anyone on that semi-awful instagram place? Needs must, and I have now made an Art Is Still honest page there: www.instagram.com/art_is_still... Please follow!

There's a lot to do to set up artisstillhonest.com, and I'm going to document it here (coz setting up business is like being a wizard if you've not done it before, so sharing is caring). Website (squarespace) was easy, now working on email (harder - need multiple inboxes under the same domain).

Will make proper ads soon but in the meantime (and coz my dayjob declined to give me a contract, again), I'm sharing my new store: www.artisstillhonest.com/store As a musician/researcher/designer (with a PhD no less), I'm really proud of this work. Plz consider buying a print or tee or something!

Ok, it's here! My new site, incorporating the majority of my creative work. I've set up a great store too, where you can purchase prints, magazines, music, merch and more. Support grassroots and indie makers! www.artisstillhonest.com

still looking for more feedback - dive in if your curious :)

Got rejected for a research contract at the place where I teach... research. My evidence of running research projects at the biggest arts research fest in the world was not deemed worthy. Can't decide if the fact everyone hates their jobs / has no career progression makes me feel better or worse.

Ok - help needed! I've been working on a new venture - Art is Still Honest - an umbrella outlet for all my creative work. I need people to check out the website and let me know of any issues before I launch it properly: www.artisstillhonest.com If you have a moment dive in and give me feedback!

Another day, another email from a small label jacking it in because no one buys music anymore. We really need to find a way to communicate to the masses that culture will only survive if they invest in it.

Been doing a lot of deign work lately, and particularly proud of these shoes :) They are garish for sure, but that's kinda the point. Shoe's are about the only thing in life that is just allowed to be unreservedly fun/silly in my book, and these speak to that ethos!

@meansmagazine.bsky.social t-shirts, available soon...

Last night's launch gig was destroyed by the heat - simply too hot to convince people to head out and watch live music. But u can still support the artists effort and skill by checking out the tape release - every purchase makes a huge difference! difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/je-tem...

New @backseatmafia.bsky.social on @difficultart.bsky.social www.backseatmafia.com/album-review...

Last day today (Monday) to mess about and hear the presets in the Demo version of my new Collapsing Pulsar synth. I might put the final release date back to later in the week. limneticvillains.itch.io/collapsing-p... Scroll down and choose a preset and you'll get the idea!

Feeling grumpy that I can't find any awesome new music. Point me in the direction direction of something that's excellent - angry, angular, complex, bitter, unusual, high-energy.... punky but not boring, doesn't easily fit onto a given genre, bonus points for good lyrics...

lo-fi electronic punk-poetry solo-project from anarchist, AuDHD, outsider-artist polymath Fidge Bibblyotek... anxious, paranoid tunes which are deceptive in their weirdness... pure outsider art borne of a singular vision so dogmatic in its focus that it becomes impossible to adequately digest.
