SLUGGO’S SATURDAY

Very pleased indeed to have been selected as one of 100 artists taking part in this brilliant project to creatively re-imagine a century of ethnographic recordings.

RIP Allan Ahlberg, the first writer I truly loved.

It only took us 7 and a half years to get round to putting it out there. We’re recording another one this summer so set your calendars for 2032 when it will be released! 😂

Reads like the lyrics to a Mark E Smith song

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

A record label who has famously not properly paid me and other artists, complaining about how unfair it is to not be paid for something owed to you. It’s shit *mate* isn’t it?

We had to sleep in the car. Then Mum punctured a lilo.

It’s the 4 year anniversary of my album Bliss Land and honestly I can’t believe it’s been that long since I put out a record! That definitely has to change soon… …but for now, here’s a picture of a smiling egg.

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

Holy mother of God. First feature film script complete. I started it two weeks ago. It flew out of me like the shits. It’s the weirdest and maybe the best thing I’ve ever written. Now what do I do with it?

On the way back I read a very dirty book.

Here’s the BIG one! 10 hour Bandcamp playlist - one track from every Third Kind album. Took me ages to compile! Pease have a listen, an incredible bunch of artists over the years! @bandcamp.com bandcamp.com/nicholaslang... @mikeparadinas.bsky.social @hattiecooke.com @portlandvows.bsky.social

Sam Claffin is the millennial Toby Stephens

Just found out my script has made it into the top 5% of 1,400 entries for the Grass Routes screenwriting competition. Huge thanks to Stephen Graham, Hannah Walters, and the whole team—this one means a lot!

Far end of the night vibes from friends and favourites… Featuring @thirdkindrecords.bsky.social @giantsofdiscovery.bsky.social @hattiecooke.com @mikeparadinas.bsky.social @strategictaper.bsky.social @techhonors.bsky.social @hyacinthindecay.bsky.social @subexotic.bsky.social

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller May 23,1945

this is the funniest way to describe brian fucking eno

Habeas corpus is the name of Musk’s 24th child

If you like synthwave and soundtracks, Spun Out Of Control have got you spunoutofcontrol.bandcamp.com/music

Thanks to MORE REALISTIC GOALS for playing my track ‘Forest Floor’ off the new Beltane tapes compilation x

This article is downright weird - trying to make young people look bad for knowing their worth. The reality is that with cost of living right now, 35-40k is the minimum people should be paid for a decent quality of life. www.lbc.co.uk/news/uk/unem...

The Best Of Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 14,1947

The #1 question I get asked these days is “are you still doing music?” #2 is “Are you gonna do another album?” Yes I am still writing music. And maybe, at some point, there will be another record if there’s enough interest. I guess it would be good to know if people would actually want another one ❤️

Privileged to be a part of this genuinely brilliant compilation, alongside so many wonderful artists.

Typo of the week! ‘Social media does more ‘ham’ than good.’ Someone in the @lbc.co.uk office has sausage fingers 😂

I was recently waxing lyrical to Chris about how much I miss going to the local video shop and renting a stack of DVDs. It was my favourite weekend thing to do back in the good old days. Today a letter came ‘in the post’ and upon walking into the kitchen I discovered this surprise…

It’s not a coincidence that the richest people in the world are (mostly) annoying arseholes.

Really excited to be a part of the Sonic Heritage project, along with 200 other artists who are transforming field recordings into new musical compositions.

Paradise found.

Thank you @katyskylab.bsky.social and @skylabradio.com for playing Slow Waves, my collaboration with Rupert Lally x

I’ve always been a huge Elliott Smith fan and was delighted to contribute to this compilation. All sales money goes to the People in Peril charity x

More new live music on Instagram in my bright yellow studio. www.instagram.com/reel/DDXPN9-...

Thinking of buying a new vocal mic and not sure where to start. Any suggestions? #musicgear #recording #musician #singer

I’ll be playing my first show in 3 years at: Cupboard Music All Dayer! The Hope & Ruin (BRIGHTON) December 14th! Tickets available below! wegottickets.com/event/633652

Rupert Lally ‘Interzones’. Limited CD and unlimited digital editions available tomorrow. @hattiecooke.com @thehomecurrent.bsky.social @robinrimbaud.bsky.social @excited100.bsky.social @karenvogtmusic.bsky.social

I’ve had a ton of questions from artists about MCPS royalties recently so I’ve created a handy post on the @drownedinsound.org forum detailing what I’ve learned. Please do check it out as you could be owed money by your label! community.drownedinsound.com/t/mcps-royal...

Want to watch a homemade video of yours truly singing a brand new song? Videos are only 60 secs on bluesky so head over to my Instagram! www.instagram.com/reel/DCuAb9f...

Really proud to say that out of almost 1500 submissions I’ve been shortlisted for the Grass Routes script competition for working class writers 🎉

Postcard from home. Dear friend, I woke up to a world of snow this morning. It’s icy cold and I’m coming down with the sniffles. Off to take a drive shortly, up over the hills, to see if I can’t lose myself in the endless white for just a little while. I’ll make a snow angel for you. Love, x

Something very cool came in the post today. Thanks to Rupert Lally for asking me to be part of this project along with… @robinrimbaud.bsky.social @mortalitytables.bsky.social @thirdkindrecords.bsky.social …and others not yet on Bluesky!

BIG NEWS. Many indie artists are not aware that they are owed mechanical royalties by their labels. Making a living as a musician is hard enough so please share this post! Big thanks to PRS for Music @castlesinspace

I’ve arrived.
