Well this just arrived in the mail 💖 from Stina Marie Claire (aka Honeyblood) 🎶

Incredible! youtu.be/b3sEdST3D9E?... “I can’t find the one!” - you and me both, Mike!

Hi Germany 🇩🇪! According to #spotifywrapped that’s my fastest growing country as well as top listens in 2023

New single Alive is out now! ffm.to/insidernine-... Let me know what you think?

A little clip of my new song coming out this week! www.instagram.com/reel/Czl-CxU...

“Alive” is released on Thursday. Pre-save it now! ffm.to/insidernine-...

I’ve just scheduled the release of my new Insider Nine track “Alive”. 17th November!

📢 I have invite codes! Would love to see more (good!) bands on here, so lmk if you know of any still waiting to get on

Bought a ticket to see Sprints in the new year, anyone else going? link.dice.fm/4JbSngqTPDb

Discovered Logic Pro’s ability to save alternative versions of a project, this could be a life-saver!

Didn’t even realise these exist but I’m glad of it! I hate it when people socialise but say “don’t worry, I tested negative for COVID” when they’re obviously absolutely sick as a dog with something

Just found a note I left myself saying “empty mountains 3/3” 🤷‍♀️

So now I know that gain staging is a thing, and I want to start mixing all my tracks from scratch 🎛

I really hope Suella Braverman watches Ted Lasso. And I hope she doesn’t think it’s being complimentary about her.

A New Kind of Fascism I’ve resisted using the word until now, but something menacing and novel is taking shape with the possibility of a second Trump term. By Christopher R. Browning https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/trump-second-term-isolationist-fascism/674791/

Why don't more bands do fitted Ts in their merch stores? I would buy so many more if they existed

People who recommended me to upgrade from GarageBand to Logic were absolutely correct 🎶

How do I send Mark Hamill a Bluesky invite code without posting on TwiXter? 🤔

Planning the release of a recent song I recorded (given up on idea of waiting for a whole EP, it’ll take me a year!) Looking for advice on how to make it as successful as possible. I think Spotify have some articles, but what other things do you recommend, oh lovely Bluesky people?

Happy 75th birthday NHS. Countless lives saved. Hope given to the hopeless. Existences transformed & made better. The greatest idea the UK ever had. The more they work to destroy it, the more you realise how absolutely essential it is. Thank you NHS.

Just heard Bar Italia on BBC 6 Music - I think I found my new favorite band 🎶🎸💖

I’ve got an invite code. Who should be here but isn’t?

Pac-Man #lego bag 1

Should I upgrade from Garageband to Logic? Or will I just spend forever learning my way around and not actually making any music?

😍 Knitted sandwiches! Jam tarts! Donuts! 😍

Japan’s Life in Tokyo was on the radio this morning. Such a great song

Also, started a YouTube channel for Insider Nine https://www.youtube.com/@InsiderNine

I streamed it! Get a preview of forthcoming track Feel Alive, and let me know what you think #music #indie #chamberpsych #janglepop https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1832487397

Gonna do it! Twitch.tv/insidernine

Thinking about doing a Twitch stream. Haven’t done one in ages, but realised it’d be a way to show folks a new song that isn’t ready for release yet (especially if I wait and put it out as part of an EP) but I can’t wait for y’all to hear it!

So if I post a Spotify link like this will it show up in the Music feed? https://open.spotify.com/album/6BK7WZmhGArQW0wcMwYNBw?si=I43HmouGROO_VOCjxyRKqg

So when I view the feed I'm thinking: 💿 What albums are folks listening to and talking about at the moment? 💿 What albums could I be reminded of or discover for the first time? 💿 What's something new I could learn about an album I'm familiar with? 💿 What album releases are out or coming soon?

I've got an earworm from my own song. That's a good sign, right?

Looking for woodworkers here so I am making a post where I use the words woodworkers, woodworking, wood, and woodwork. Come find and follow!

I have a batch of songs (probably 4 - maybe I’d call it an EP) mostly written and partially recorded. Should I finish recording all of them, then mix them all, or record & mix one song, then move on to the next? What works best for you?

Blocked my first account here (an annoying bitcoiner)

Stumbled across @electricalwsop.bsky.social, how cool that he’s here!
