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.

JULY #DAFTPOM SHOW with special guest @thewayafter.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/inyourearsmu...

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

Boom.... #doomsday is here but it's ok coz we're here broadcasting for your entertainment... If the world is going to go to hell, you might as well enjoy the ride. Please listen to this emergency broadcast from @oldindiekid.bsky.social and me... Hit link.... www.mixcloud.com/michael-tann...

You’re still using AI at every step in the process and you think by saying ‘…composed (this) on my ukulele’ somehow validates it? Your made up vocals and made up video are just pixels and bullshit. Stop cosplaying being an artist and share something that is AI - free. Until then…fuck off.

I’m finding all the A.I. slop on Instagram a real turn off now. Will these people kindly fuck off?

Shout out to the organisers of @frontrowfest.bsky.social who, despite the temptation to crowd-please with a roster of tribute bands, they stick to showcasing up coming indie acts writing original material. It really is a little gem in the heart of England - now in its 10th year

Wunderhorse finally caught my ears today on #iPlayerGlasto and I am blown away at the echoes of early Radiohead with a session drummer on the kit. Lead singer has some midnight oil energy with burning Cobain spirit thrown in the flame pit. Love it! 🤘

You can almost guarantee that after the constant lobbying by the financial sector can make the idiots in government think this is a good idea, that very soon after we’ll have a couple of years of significant house price inflation followed immediately by a crash 😕 www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

Watch the hatchets get sharpened now that Mamdani is close to securing power. Take a look at what they did to Corbyn in 2017 over here in the UK and stand firm on your beliefs. Good luck #NYC #Mamdani

Shout out to the shit*-posters who can still chat shit* whilst it all goes to shit* outside. Joy is indeed an act of resistance. I flip from hating you for not screaming ‘look at the world’ to applauding you for ploughing your own furrow with no regard to how fucked up everything is *N O N S E N S E

Fill your ears with a jangly new song that delves into the murky waters of when trying to find love crosses over into stalking/obsessive behaviour. Musically, it's been compared to XTC, Talking Heads and The Jam #MusicSky #NewMusic: song.link/i/1817860770

Happy Release Day Joe! open.spotify.com/track/5f0fql...

If I started a record label I’d tell all the middle aged men I ‘signed’ that I could make them “monthly-listener-famous”. Then at some point it’d all go to shit and I’d have to hate someone specifically that warned me about this. Sound like a plan? Cool.

The trailing off, post-release, of listener metrics, is the entropy of attention. It’s like your song is waving at you as it sails into the mist

BlueSky v Twitter

Trump has his military birthday parade and his fans cheer his lies. They know the emperor is naked. Truth alone won’t topple him, or others like him. But we can still resist populists. How? Read The Bear's latest. Thanks to @coldwarsteve.bsky.social @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

You can never grow tired of The Bulgarian State Television Female Choir. Any knowing musician or muso cannot listen to it without sensing how the boundaries of European Harmony are bending into the microtonal harmonic subtleties of the Middle East and India. open.spotify.com/album/13DNNs...

Oh Release Radar, you are a fickle thing. I’ve gone from getting nearly 3k Release Radar streams in the first month of my penultimate single yet for the track I submitted for my album, has had only double figures of plays. Whatever lever that gets pulled at Sptfy algo HQ, it appears VERY random!

When signing up to a website that got discounts on new car a few years ago, I think I might have been annoyed at how much personal data it wanted…Because each email I get begins with “Dear Fuck Off…” I also just worked out that car dealerships get emails saying “Fuck Off would like a quote for…”

One of the kindest people I ever knew. RIP @forsythk2.bsky.social

My album came out today. Each song is the same BPM, but each a metamorphosis of the previous one that appears on BC as a 30 minute DJ mix. Each has a cool canvas. Guest appearances by @lewca.co.uk and @jimsangermusic.bsky.social too. open.spotify.com/album/1WisUJ...

Very pleased to announce that tickets are now on sale for a very special gig on 18/7/25 @waxandbeans.bsky.social. Since nothing else is going on in MCR that weekend, this should be a no brainer. Oh yeah, it’s Alison’s bday so there will be cake! Tickets here: www.waxandbeans.co.uk/products/san...

I’ve released music since 2020 and finally, for the first time ever, I’ve uploaded to Bandcamp. 🥲 My new single Pained is now available to buy and any contributions will very much support the making of the next one. 🖤 thanks for all the support so far! silvisounds.bandcamp.com/track/pained

I recommend this song by @grim17.bsky.social he is wonderfully grimy with his music open.spotify.com/track/4uMS8z...

If they invented a motor sport where the drivers were AI - Do you think it would attract an audience? I’d guess not. The human element is very much part of the spectacle of #F1 yet somehow that necessary human involvement in the creativity of art and music, seems for some, to not be as important

Track 7 on the new album is a contentious subject for the English. A song about Diego Maradona in the 86 World Cup - how a man stole back some pride for #Argentina not long after the Falklands/Malvinas war of 82. open.spotify.com/track/6mvhHL...

All this talk of TACOs got me thinking about a recent Viz profanisaurus entry that made me laugh very hard (Apologies to all non British people, this might make no sense)

Very grateful for this stunning review from @michiemusic.bsky.social for Up To Hear. It’s beautifully written and encapsulates everything I was hoping people would take from the track and more. www.uptohearmusic.com/blog/silvi-p...
