Constantly bewildered. Singer-songwriter under my own name, 'High Wire Act' and 'Ashfeathers'.
pinned post!
Today is release day for To Risk Your Heart by my band High Wire Act. It's 9 songs about feelings and loud guitars, and possibly a secret alien but that might be a metaphor. Please have a listen over on bandcamp (or wherever you like to stream music)

I have written the only new song I'll have time for for this year's
#FAWM
It is good! I may be biased! It's got hooks and big loud guitars and stuff.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

I am not a sports fan, but being pointlessly obsessed about something that isn't really important is one of the best ways to spend a life.

Haven't read the article, but I assume he is talking about the Romans, or possibly the Anglo Saxons. Or the beaker folk. Either way, these days, get back in the sea you finned cunt etc etc.

Labour's problem isn't merely one of personnel. It's that the main factions of the party lack an analysis of capitalism, & therefore an awareness that boosting growth (the answer to many problems) requires a lot of work. Here's one I wrote 5 years (!) ago:

Starmer and the C-word
Starmer's Labour is incurious about the nature of capitalism.

With another Olympics happening, pointlessly filled with proper skilled sportspeople, I renew my call for a good Olympics with the athletes chosen at random. It should be a lottery/jury service thing, followed by a medical check and 2 weeks training. No pros allowed.

Over the years, people have asked me why I am always saying that Slimer, from the Ghostbusters franchise, is a bisexual icon (I am always saying this). To me, the answer is so self-evident that I have never and will never explain.

My favourite way of saying “we’re on it” or “we’ll take care of that for you” is the Dutch we zullen dat varkentje wel even wassen. It means “we will certainly get that piglet washed.”

Reminder that Blue Monday isn't a real phenomenon, it was made up by the boyband Blue in 2002 to make me wanna call you in the middle of the night, make me wanna hold you 'til the morning light, make me wanna love, make me wanna fall, make me wanna surrender my soul

Depressing but true thread. I've often thought the best choice I ever made for my own music was that I never tried to make a living from it.
