Why is r1 cutting down the subway and this is the killer speaking to about 1 min each???? I wanna hear every second bbz!!!

Algorithm, please stop encouraging me to develop insecurities. A rant written in one sitting today by me. Tried to do my best fed up face for the thumbnail, as though an industry person had just been rude on an email. emzae.substack.com/p/algorithm-...

Just thinking about how we started off asking questions in a natural human way to jeeves, then with google we altered the way we searched, focusing on keywords etc, and now with ai it’s basically back to ask Jeeves but with longer questions

Linda polishing the queen vic bust and saying “bring us luck will ya” - SHE AINT EXACTLY BROUGHT YOU LUCK SO FAR HAS SHE???????

A lovely interview and write-up from Tori of Tunez and Trendz blog. See you at tomorrow’s gig where I’ll be playing a new song on guitar, if I can remember the lyrics… tunesandtrendz.blogspot.com/2025/07/arti...

ITS A DIFFERENT HEAT IN THE MIDLANDS hi embaes!

Up yours to this government & their despicable #WelfareReforms If you think you’re going take my #PIP then I’m going to live my best life & run rings around you! #BeingIllIsNotACrime #Fightback Solidarity with my #DisabledCommunity #TakingThePip & @fight4lifeuk.bsky.social

Really great article about the realities of Glastonbury (excellent festival though it is) for smaller/emerging acts. How many working class and disabled artists are we not seeing at the festival? Urgent change is required. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

The worst YouTube adverts right now are the ones where people have taken their usual voiceover script and put it into Suno. NO THANK YOU.

The emzae archive, part 2 - up now on my substack 💓 emzae.substack.com/p/the-emzae-...

Absolutely loved this video. They’re all so smart and passionate and I just love that they’re all making music together. I relate to a lot of what they say & how they think! youtu.be/KQ1MurGQHxA?...

Happening tonight at 7pm! Artisan Tap, Stoke 💓

OBSESSED with Teddy Mitchell splitting up with his wife then playing the ballad of darren on vinyl in the next scene 😂😂😂😂😂

Last gig I’ve got booked for the foreseeable takes place in Stoke at the Artisan Tap on 29th May. Tickets here: www.seetickets.com/event/freya-...

One of the most cruel and greedy aspects of modern social media platforms is the deliberately reduced reach you get when you dare to promote an event or paste in a link. Who do they think they are? Why do they think we want to stay on here if they keep doing this stuff?

Excited to say my vinyls and merch will be available at The Merch Market in Manchester today. Head over to Brickhouse Social and look for the Sonic Boom Festival stall to find it 💓

Whenever any contestant ever decides to paint a lion on someone’s face (or their own) on Glow Up, you just know the moment they put the brush in the pan they’re in the face-off chair because they’ll say it looks like village fete face paint

I swear photobucket have been sending me e-mails for 6 years telling me to reactivate my account now or it will be deleted

it would be truly lovely if people would at this point, literally THE YEAR 2025 AFTER ALL WE’VE BEEN THROUGH, not get their news from 2 sentence social media posts and not even consider checking the original source in full before commenting on it, forming an opinion on it or even believing it

Come and see me live on Monday at The Grove in Nottingham! www.gigantic.com/hachiku-tick...

Still listening to her latest album on repeat, just got something about it

I love blondshell

OI, SPORTS DIRECT. Why can’t I walk in and get LA Gear jogging bottoms anymore? No one asked for you to be flannels!!!!!! At this point the only shop left who knows it’s target audience is the works

My footrest and MacBook stand arrived today! Exciting timezzz

You know when you see videos of people with such immense talent you’re like nah ppl don’t need emzae album 2 😂 this is one of them… unreal skills. youtu.be/W9s8aPM8kK0?...

My home studio upgrade has begun!!!!!

OMG Addison Rae - headphones on, fantastique

I honestly feel that if the block Australia was remade in the uk it would captivate the country every series

Right, that’s my fortnightly Bluesky post done

Idea for a flippin’ amazing YouTube channel I’d watch all the time: someone generates a random location on google street view then makes a detailed diorama of the scene whatever it is

wrote a great chorus for album 2 today!!! So excited for the whole thing haha

Too much disabled music is STILL going unheard. With thanks to The Harmony Dialogue, anonymous contributors, & data from The Musicians Union & Attitude is Everything, I explore the barriers holding us back & ask - when is the music industry going to show up for us? emzae.substack.com/p/the-lost-v...

very much trying to keep calm over the fact that I accidentally deleted a video that’s supposed to be going out on Monday which took ages to record at the beginning of March 😂

Morning Live is one of my favourite programmes on TV - friendly and super inclusive without being patronising. Give them all the awards!

If you give people the possibility of having time, freedom and space to keep creating, they will get better and better at their craft

The problem with songs/albums by indie artists being taken down from Spotify even though their streams are attributed to Release Radar continues. Please read this article from another artist affected, and raise awareness for this scandal: medium.com/@MusiciansPa...

I made this video after yesterday’s funding rejection: www.instagram.com/reel/DG1TJkS...

I wrote one of my favourite songs I’ve written in a while last week. Hear it in full on this week’s chatzae (#52): emzae.substack.com/p/chatzae-52...

Another DYCP application rejected, 16th rejected funding application in total (none successful) - you are not alone!!! And it SUCKS X

I wonder if outlook will ever work ever again or they’ll just quietly leave it until we get too bored of being like erm why is outlook down for a 56789th day? And let it just fade into obscurity gradually

We NEEED more music-based funding opportunities/schemes/competitions for artists based in the midlands

Google workspace subscription price being increased because of the addition of crappy AI. URGGHHHH!!!

Today we launch #UnMute 🔈 at #FestivalCongress An exclusive disabled artist roster for the music industry, brought to you by #ContinentalDrifts with support from @wearethemu.bsky.social & #AttitudeIsEverything Application portal is open now - please share: www.globallocal.co.uk/unmute-roste...

For this week’s chatzae, I’m sharing a song that didn’t make it on my ATTITIK: SCRAPPED IDEAS AND EARLY DEMOS album, because I realised you could hear a bit of LBC underneath some of the vocals 😂 listen here: emzae.substack.com/p/chatzae-47...
