I’m surprised no one has talked about how windy it was at the Azteca stadium last night. #JordanPickford

Suraj has a point.

Transferring large intrinsic parts of your corporation’s ability to operate using AI, whilst knowing that in future, you will pay increasingly higher costs for that computational ‘labour force’? CEOs are willingly sponsoring the enshitification of capitalism itself

My favourite bench in #Gower overlooking Pwll Du beach.

On 22nd June 2026 it will be 40 years since Diego Maradona almost single handedly* beat England in the quarter finals of the World Cup. I wrote a song with @jimsangermusic.bsky.social about it. *Pun intended music.apple.com/gb/album/die...

Love the new Notwist album. It’s got that ‘everyone in a room vibe’ that can be hard to produce, but they have pulled it off. A real gem thenotwist.bandcamp.com/album/news-f...

A simple mantra worth reading. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Alan

Wrote this track 14 years ago. The oldest song on my soundcloud. But it still bangs. I had just got a new horns sample set with trills and whatnot and I went to town… on.soundcloud.com/0khTiV4SsU9O...

Just checked into BBC 6 Music for the first time in a long while and Mr Grimshaw played (for my half hour journey) some of the cheesiest dance crap. I mean, if it’s meant to be a channel for the experimental and non mainstream, why are they playing tunes that have the musical integrity of primula?

Crunchy nut beats with squelchy bits. The brand new album The Nuts by @invisiblesquirrel.bsky.social is out now on bandcamp. 🥜🐿️ Very cool mosaic too. invisiblesquirrel.bandcamp.com/album/the-nuts

BandCamp-only release of my newest journey (mixtape 9) is out now! Album artwork by @midgecerys.bsky.social invisiblesquirrel.bandcamp.com/album/the-nuts

New album coming out in the next few weeks after over a year of hibernation. It is crunchy a f and will please those who like their beats BIG. Hat tips to Spiritualised, Pink Floyd, Mulatu Astatke, Hybrid and Chemical Brothers.

Tomorrow’s headline. Probably.

Charge a windfall tax, then buy everyone solar panels, Mr Starmer! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump: “We have new machinery to kill the drones—the computerised bullets, they call that. “Also lasers melt the drone. It’s a beautiful thing to see.”

Woke up to find the fat ginger nonce *hadn’t* nuked Tehran and it turns out half the snarky commentariat on BlueSky think it’s appropriate to wheel out the T.A.C.O. meme as a bit of glib social commentary. “He didn’t follow through on Armageddon threats! What a coward!” 🥴

A song I have always held dear (by Del Amitri 1990) but I have adapted the lyrics to reflect the times… youtu.be/p2L_Cp8frIE?...

Live version of “It must be love” by Labi Siffre that I recorded today. Changed the odd chord to give it my own flavour.. youtu.be/IzOr1-Z4Fio?...

'That's not AI?! That's genuine?' @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe who Donald Trump sounds like in this Iran update.

It comes as no surprise, but for the second time this year I’ve noticed how a restaurant has used AI to create ‘covers’ of popular tunes. You know. Those plaintive woman voices, acoustic guitar only etc. But the tell tale signs of superhuman pitching and unlikely vocal ranges? Just stop. Please!!

32 variants, 72-place drops, and the death of the 'Indie Hero.' I’ve spent the morning auditing the 'Great Indie Fleece'. If the music is the 'end,' why is the 'means' so predatory? Full 1,000-word report: therebirthofcool.news.blog/2026/03/24/h... #TheRebirthOfCool @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social

I often wondered why there’s a soulless silence at Old Trafford - something you just don’t hear at St James’s or Anfield. To see a stadium that used to buzz, turn into an energy-less coliseum for Sports tourists with inhibited vocal cords. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

After 12 months of having my piano in storage and my studio kit in boxes, I have finally recorded a song. My love letter to Sam Altman a man who might have no regard for artists, but that won’t stop me writing a song about him… youtube.com/shorts/lfHZW...

Thank God I can still read Twitter via screenshots that other X-users post because they have more skill in hanging out with Nazis than i ever would. I’m rubbish at being ambivalent to evil and always will be! Give yourself a pat on the back if you are tirelessly reading Twitter for us.

Everything is fucked but at least you can listen to Wonderwall in your VW Passat at Leigh Delamere Services with a meal deal on your lap. They can’t take that from you.

So glad I bagged tickets to see Geese at the Troxy in September. They will be upgrading to Arenas now I guess. I hate watching bands in arenas / stadiums.

Quick sit down on todays walk

Here’s why I have been so quiet these last 9 months! www.joeadhemar.uk/thoughts/i-b...

Some very inspiring speeches at the BAFTAs. Particularly in the shadow of certain political ideologies in the world. Kindness will not be extinguished as long as cinema has these people at the forefront

I was looking on the web a fortnight ago for a ceiling mounted diffuser for the new studio. The one I wanted was £1500 so I thought ‘Fk it’ and I built one myself. Used some left over paint from previous decorating. Mixed them up a bit. Ended up like this.

The tireless efforts of @122musicmanagement.com continue with their latest venture to pool the resources of independent artists into one strong collective. Bravo to them! 122musicmanagement.com/table-turners

The key take from Mandelson is that as he was intrinsic to the New Labour project between 97 and 2010 it is fair to say that coercive control is KEY to granting political power. With that in mind, we should be cynical of WHY Starmer got the job, instead we are gaslit about his poor decision making🤔

Make a musician happy this @bandcamp.com Friday! Turn those wish-list ♥️’s into proper album purchases! *I have unsold vinyl

Happy 3rd birthday to my album ‘The Synethsthete’ released this day on @bandcamp.com on 1st Feb 2023 🎂 joeadhemar.bandcamp.com/album/the-sy...

“Where are all the protest songs?” - dorks who have only ever engaged with corporate music and have just felt the twinge of outrage for the first time

Are there any Meteorologists here on 🦋? This winter I have noticed a serious decline in accurate forecasting beyond 3 days. For instance, tonight’s wind warning was not predicted at the beginning of the week. Not for the first time, too. Are low pressure systems becoming harder to predict? #Climate

One of the most scurrilous (and untrue) rumours out there, that @bandcamp.com waived all rights of songwriters last year to train AI. If you search in their T’s and C’s you’ll discover quite the opposite is true. They forbid it. And if you USE AI to create music you’re forbidden too. (1/2)…

With the Grok Ai thing, you do have to wonder what is some peoples tipping point when considering your amount of followers is more important than your morals🤔

If you ask me, this is the primary, unspoken reason for the sudden interest in Greenland (as well as the fact it has the highest chance for a liveable environment in a 4degs of warming planet)

I miss Tony Benn

No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet

The crowd at the World Darts Championship keep singing (to the tune of Seven Nation Army) “Keir Starmer’s a Wanker!” and I hope Keir is watching because I reckon he likes White Stripes. He was very impressed when they sang “Oh Jeremy Corbyn!” At Glastonbury too as we all know. He loved Jeremy.
