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.

$20 for a 45Gb orchestra? Treat yourself

Bandcamp is pretty good for connecting with fans who want to support musicians. But if you want your tracks to reach people who actively dislike musicians, then you need to get your music on Spotify as well.

Finally got round to watch “The Ballad of Wallace Island” and it has not disappointed. A wonderful film.

Christmas starts when the bucket-hat boys choose their 100 favourite tracks of the year…

🚨 Albums of 2025 🚨 My annual blog is here oldindiekid.blogspot.com/2025/12/albu...

Wow Scotland. Off to the World Cup Finals! Qualifying in majestic style. If you didn’t see it, watch the highlights!! Amazing.

Not been here much these last two months cos I have been v busy building the studio. I think it will be up and running before Christmas (subject to a plasterer starting late Nov). Anyways. This is one of my favourite songs that I wrote. Apple below this tweet open.spotify.com/track/497U0o...

Trying to get my head round Musk being promised $1 trillion by his shareholders. It is equivalent to around 20 million times the average U.K. salary (£38,100). 4% interest on a trillion is $40 billion! Smaug?

When the ‘means of production’ (Temu) was seized, I didn’t think it would need so many emails. Marx was way off on this

There's a screening for the feature film I scored next week in a London Curzon. So the anxiety panic of going and talking to other humans starts here 😬

Hot tip for those who got spammed by a ‘promotion’ playlist (without them asking) and reported to it to Spotify but it STILL got taken down.Tell your distributor you reported it and also ask for the details of the ‘promoter’ playlist because you wish to take legal action. Suddenly my album is back 😜

Some bangers in here. And a lot of nonsense too 😜

#NowPlaying Getting funky with the @invisiblesquirrel.bsky.social Tune this. You should buy the album from Bandcamp on Friday too music.youtube.com/watch?v=H1xu...

The next time Galatasaray are on the TV I think I might as well listen to the sound of nails on a blackboard for 90 minutes instead. They pride themselves on their intimidating atmosphere but listening to their shrill cacophony throughout a game? Nah. Twats.

I’ve banged on about @geeseband.bsky.social before but their new album is out now. It’s like Radiohead were funky dirty for those who need to be pulled in by what to expect. This track does it for me. Produced by Kenny Beats who makes a drum kit sing. open.spotify.com/track/75DUBu...

Thank god for friends! I shall be there on the 21st November 💥 YASSS

As someone who isn’t American I am struggling to understand why someone shot a guy in the neck who said shooting people in the neck is a necessary part of the whole right to owning a thing that helps you shoot people in the neck.

In 2021, when Twitter wasn't a fascist hellhole, I met a lovely chap on there called @joeadhemar.bsky.social who offered to help me make my recordings sound less shit. I gave him this song and he did wonders with it! Released OTD 4 years ago Is not everything morbid? youtu.be/JlxD-TsqqDU?...

Having been registered with Radiohead WASTE since the 90’s let’s just say I am a little disappointed not to get a code. But tbf seeing them play at Oxford Apollo, a fortnight before they released The Bends is a hard gig to eclipse. I was one of the few to buy Pablo Honey first time around too. Bah!

#DAFTPOM Show Aug 2025 Special Guest Kevin Robertson. @inyourearsmusic.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/inyourearsmu...

I was shocked to read Sinéad O’Connor’s tale of when she met Prince. The man sounded phenomenally creepy on a VERY dark level, when she visited him in his, for want of a better word, ‘dungeon’ in LA. Coercive and malevolent all tied up in an ego profoundly manifesting in disturbing ways.

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

It ceases to amaze me how Adrian Chiles is paid to write weekly for the Guardian about the most inconsequential fluff. I think he might be the most boring man ever. His observations are so asinine, it’s as if he’s holding an intellectual version of a hunger strike.

A new single called Northern Nowhere and a debut exhibition! Very excited to announce my first art show will take place at Bridewell Studios in Liverpool from Oct 3rd - 10th… see you there! ffm.to/noveltyislan... 🧩🌴🧩🌴🧩🌴🧩

I never get a lollipop at the hairdressers any more no matter how still I sit 😞

On Aug 14th 2022, I was proud as a Squirrel can be, when they featured my album on @bandcamp.com Daily. “Psychedelic electronic music that conjures other worlds in it’s springy, playful grooves” Check it out here ⬇️ invisiblesquirrel.bandcamp.com/album/chief-...

This is economic warfare by the rich against the rest. The point and purpose of the Labour Party was to resist such attacks. Starmer and Reeves have turned their party into the opposite of what it once was.

I quit my job as an easyJet pilot because of the climate crisis. Here’s how we can transform aviation | George Hibberd

I just learned that Keir Starmer appointed a new guy to head The Competition and Markets Authority. You know… a regulator that’s supposed to keep competition healthy in the markets. Definitely NOT allow one company to dominate / monopolise. This new guy’s last job? Head of Amazon UK FFS
