I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition to disinvite Iran Regime FM Araghchi from the UN Human Rights Council! The current Iranian regime should never be associated with the campaign for humanity. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/di...

Two great new albums pre-announced today - (Little Wide Open) from Kevin Morby and (I'm People) from Hiss Golden Messenger - exciting times! Links in comments below

My favourite English singer is Petula Clark so it was a delight to catch up with Gyles Brandreth's wonderful podcast chat with the 92 year old Sally. Downtown, Round Every Corner, Don't Sleep in the Subway... and she still sings beautifully! www.rosebudpodcast.co.uk/archive/petu...

This is more than 30 years ago now, about the same distance in time as it was from the first Beatles LP. But great music is great music and a beautiful song lasts forever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4m5...

Any North Kent fans of @theatreroyal.bsky.social should check out our Brighton pals @patientstheband.bsky.social when they come to visit the Oast in Rainham on March 7th, supporting The Cords, as I think you would like them. A lot.

Bandcamp Friday 'discovery of the day' from The Family Grave are North Kent's finest @theatreroyal.bsky.social, who I hadn't come across before but loved them so much I just bought two of their albums 😍 including this their latest (and 7th) theatreroyal.bandcamp.com/album/a-chan...

oooh, just seen that there are just 10 FREE bandcamp download codes left now at getmusic.com for our 2024 album 'The Family Grave Play Songs About Love' so if you want one be quick. Ten (10) codes. ***FREE*** download. Or just buy it if course. We like that too... getmusic.fm/r/the-family...

@adamgnade.bsky.social is one of the best poets writing in America today. Listen to: This is my hope for you in the shit world open.substack.com/pub/adamgnad...

This is lovely from @assistant.bandcamp.com and as all proceeds go to the charity @cancerresearchuk.org and it's @bandcamp.com BandcampFriday today would be a very good day to download yours #newmusic #Brighton #independentartists assistant.bandcamp.com/album/assist...

These would make a great set of 7" singles but only one exists in vinyl form at present (and there are still a very few rare copies left). As it's #BandcampFriday why not go explore and buy some mp3s from great independent artists? Link in the first comment below

The satisfaction of a good book is partly that it has an ending, giving the reader a sense of closure and accomplishment. The problem with social media is that it is endless.

My late friend Craig asked me to write a screenplay based on a William Burroughs novel for a film he thought he wanted to make. Craig designed this ad but nothing was ever made. Decades later I wrote a song loosely based on the novel and released it thefamilygrave.bandcamp.com/track/the-wi...

Fans highlight "The Immigrant" for its emotional depth and social relevance. Released on the 2024 album The Family Grave Play Songs About Love, it is one of the band's most significant works, praised for its "raw honesty" and a lyrics that feel born from lived experience 🎵 recordu.lnk.to/4uziEn

So, I walked for too long in the rain yesterday and now I have the worst cold EVER! Man flu got nothing on this! Send thoughts and prayers, and cold cure and chocolates 🤧

The deluge of AI and fake posts, political & non-political, ought to be the death of random social media. I hope it foreshadows a return to properly checked and edited news and entertainment sources. I've had enough of garbage but still need regular trusted info www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Almost 4000 listeners on #Spotify last month. If one of those was you, thank you. If you haven't heard our sparkling new latin-jazz-folk tune Daylight, you can find it here song.link/TheFamilyGra...

We also have vinyl records and they look and sound amazing elasticstage.com/thefamilygrave

We're "an outsider project blending lo-fi confession with jazz-flecked elegance, with soul-stirring storytelling and haunting alt-folk." - Divine Magazine. Check us out thefamilygrave.bandcamp.com/album/old-so...

Dear Spotify, Warners Music Group, Universal Music and Sony Music, please add me to your class action lawsuit for $151,000 for each of my published songs as per this claim. Thanks. www.nme.com/news/music/s...

Just saw an Ad on Instagram for an app to create #AI songs to upload directly to Spotify for streams. This is stealing from real musicians. #Spotify should ban AI-generated music. As a minimum, it should identify AI music and allow users the option to switch it off and not listen to it.

So I won a bottle of Garlic Beer a year ago and its taken me that long to get enough of a nerve up to try it. Turns out it's really good. I also have a can of 12% alc chocolate stout in the fridge that a friend convinced me to buy as a 'train beer' 3 years ago that I still haven't dared open!

It's good to pay your music fan 'tax' by regularly buying vinyl records. Picked up these two bargains today, completely unknown to me and untested, but both very good. A win.

I want to be your friend. I truly want to be your friend. youtu.be/uopI3Jxl5HA?...

Today's the birth date of one of my favourite English songwriters, the glorious Kevin Coyne RIP. Here he is blasting out his song 'America' sometime in the mid-1970s but seems appropriate today #KevinCoyne #livemusic youtu.be/sA40btdmn9Y

Maybe the next time car manufacturers or other big advertisers think about buying more ridiculous and over-long ads in the cinema they could think about buying the time slot instead in order NOT to show any ads, with a little credit on the screen. We would love them more if they did #justsaying

Lovely 60s songbooks from two of my favourite songwriters, looking down at me on where I am sitting today 🎵

Did you know we remixed every song on our Songs About Love album to create a short instrumental jazz-infused collection, available on Bandcamp and most good digital outlets here recordu.lnk.to/vxR02w

I wonder if smart scientists will work out how to get rain clouds to respond to darkness so it only rains at night ⛈️🌙 🤔

RIP Ralph Towner 💔 😪 His early 70s album 'Diary' on ECM is stunning and a major entry-point for my love of jazz 🎵 🎸 youtu.be/zLUfaobhtZg

"Intimate Alt-Folk & Literate Songwriting" Thanks to Divine Magazine @divinemagazine.bsky.social for this excellent interview with @thefamilygrave.bsky.social about their latest release Daylight. Read it here thedivinemagazine.com/the-family-g...

I read most of Andrew Kaufman's All My Friends Are Superheroes on the plane and tried to think what my own superhero name would be. I think it is The Seeer Of Things From Both Sides Or The Fencesitter.

If that social media ban for kids doesn't pass in parliament I think parents should commit to do this instead www.instagram.com/p/DTVtWHkj3j...
