Time for my quarterly “This is all rubbish, why do I bother, I should give it up” crisis of confidence. Hello old friend, please, take a seat!

Friday brings new music! This week's Other People's Music goes heavy on the rock: 3 different varieties (weirdo singer-songwriter rock, heavy indie rock, art rock) keep this week rocking, plus some glitchy breakbeat & experimental folktronica! www.etherdiver.com/2025/11/07/o... #musicsky #rock

Oh yeah and I’m in this one too!

The time, energy and unrelenting enthusiasm it takes @etherdiver.bsky.social to output this each week and highlight the work of so many musicians is admirable. It takes not just their time to listen, but the time being actively engaged to be able to draw an opinion and perspective on the music.

Friday made it, and it brought Other People's Music with. Have a read about cinematic pinball #synthwave, scuzzy industrial #IDM, chippy #electro spiked with #rock, conscious #hip-hop and a #darkwave deep dive. Read and listen here: www.etherdiver.com/2025/10/17/o... #musicsky #MusicDiscovery

Have a listen to my recent album for a psychedelic dose of alien timbres, relentless beats and strange effects. etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/the-me... If I hit 500 streams for the month, I'll release 5 free DL codes a day until the end of the month. We're halfway there! Let's gooooo! #musicsky

Life Pro Tip: Use the Spotify Wrapped video message to fans to tell your parents that you’ll be visiting over Christmas

I’m not really good at the whole “social”, “engagement” or “organic profile building to ensure continued visibility and awareness of product output through non-traditional media channels direct to consumers” thing… So here’s jacobisaacmusic.bandcamp.com/album/one I made it. #MusicianSky #MusicSky

How far will you go to be proven right?

I keep seeing things from creators highlighting Spotifys new terms about being able to use content to train their systems and create derivatives of their work. I'm conflicted. On one hand, Spotify is a platform that allows greater reach to listeners of my music. On the other hand. Fuck you, pay me.

Canal Boat Diaries has the whiplash effect of making me yearn to live a transient life on the British waterways, observing nature and all the beauty then immediately glad I don’t have to regularly manually pump my effluent.

You know, for a company who's primary function is to deliver packages, Evri sure as shit struggle with that concept. I'd try to send them an email to complain but I'm certain it would bounce back as undeliverable.

Band names I'm reserving for potential future projects #421: Three Egg Omelette

With the increase in AI music generation services and propagation on platforms, as a music consumer, I have to ask “where do I want to give my money?” Musicians who have put countless hours, energy and personality into creating something that represents them at that moment in time?

What else were you gonna do with that tenner in your pocket?

It’s a beautiful Sunday, good opportunity to play my guitar! No wait, I mean do housework. Ah, no, actually tidy up the kids outdoor toys first. But definitely after I’ve made lunch. Bit knackered now, might just watch twelve episodes of King of the Hill and go to bed at 8pm

It’s an incredibly single-speed bike , moustache, chemex coffee, Sylvia Plath, upcycled furniture thing to say but there is something about the run out groove on a record that is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻

My biz is free to download, but if you want it for free and save the @bandcamp.com fee to add it to your collection: jacobisaacmusic.bandcamp.com/yum nk8u-75ka lykd-jft7 qtyp-kpuv bnkg-gne9 5wyy-3jft 8jkz-h6e7 tf3z-vyf5 2axk-63vf x6m2-7rzz jzra-v4k6 62mb-6atk zx85-y7r9 zezf-7jhz z82m-5kpg yzl6-7y73

Received back the songs I had mixed & mastered by @flamingjangle.bsky.social. Turning water into wine is cool and that, but making a cohesive and listenable record out of what I handed over is a real miracle. jacobisaacmusic.bandcamp.com/album/one #MusicianSky #bandcamp #MusicFeed #SelfProduced

Nice thing about sharing something creative is that it can lead to other creative output. Someone made this based on my song Gone Fishin’ jacobisaacmusic.bandcamp.com/track/gone-f...

If you haven’t made it happen today, doesn’t mean it might not happen tomorrow. ✌🏻

“Oooh, this riff could be the start of something!” *Puts on King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard* “Goddamn it…”

It’s go time…

Signed up with @distrokid.com the other day. Bing bang boom - my e.p. is now available on Spotify :) Bit strange to see it there and bit stranger to hear it there but not a bad way to see in the weekend! open.spotify.com/album/10dfYX... #musiciansky #musicsky #musicfeed

Have to tell myself the same thing with this damn EP as when I get a hang nail. "Just...leave... it.... alone....."

If you’ve made music by yourself, at home, with minimal equipment and resources… it’s absolutely acceptable that it sounds like it was made by yourself, at home, with minimal equipment and resources.

Meanwhile, Jack White’s probably out there recording a whole album with a tissue box and rubber band and it sounds like nothing ever heard of before.

I have the incomparable talent to make every guitar effect sound like I’m playing a tissue box and rubber band

So there’s this thing I’m mentally weighing up. I’ve written songs. I have “sang” on them. I am not a singer by any stretch of the imagination. The music I’ve made has been very much a personal exercise. I am unsure on the nature of getting someone who *can* sing to work on them too.

Got those “went to join an art class but not quite sure what I should do, when does it start or where the toilets are” vibe. Flagrant misuse of hashtags incoming.. #MusicianSky #MusicianFeed

How does anyone throw something out to the internet and NOT have an immediate sense of dread? jacobisaacmusic.bandcamp.com/album/one #bandcamp
