Guess who I'm seeing tonight? Now which t-shirt to wear?

Please head to www.hypebot.com/a-crowded-ve... for the full deal. Big, big thanks to Jeremy at @hypebot.bsky.social for his time, support, and for publishing this piece.

Here are a few excepts from an article I wrote for @hypebot.bsky.social. In light of major artists cancelling shows, aka. “Blue Dot Fever” I discuss, and propose, that virtual events and gigs should co-exist alongside the physical. It would benefit artists, and music fans alike.

Strange old day. Started with schadenfreude at an old colleague (Mr Cock o'Leakie) Moved on to a raft of humdrumadelia, before having my article on 24:1900/the possibilities offered by virtual gigs and events published on the mighty Hypebot (massive thanks to Jeremy) www.hypebot.com/a-crowded-ve...

It's a blessing to have been in the musical peace with arts hearts.

I always love it when someone tries something different. Which is why I applaud the work that @122musicmanagement.com are doing. Having worked with them recently, they aren't constrained by a 'how it's done' mentality. We all learned something along the way. However, experiementation costs.

Hadn’t heard them before. The beauty of people sharing music they love! It works! Love this new track: acua.bandcamp.com/track/fearin... Off to listen to the previous two albums now.

If this sounds up your street, ACUA would love to see you at one of these venues in July.

To a small degree, we've been supporting ACUA for their UK tour in July. A psych-pop/alternative band from Cologne, Germany, ACUA recently released ‘Fearing And Facing The World’.  From forthcoming album, ‘Flood My Eyes’, the ace Mark Buckley / @analoguetrash.com wrote: 1/2

Anyone else think thins man should be the new Seu Jorge…? Well in terms of doing what the magnificent man himself did with Bowie, just that Erico Moura instead does @depechemode.com. Bravo Érico #Brasil

Or why not show your support by catching David Cronenberg's Wife live on tour?

Big thanks to Blang Records for sharing details of our music festival 24:1900 in their newsletter. From their label, antifolk poetic outsiders David Cronenberg's Wife recently returned with a new LP. Why not check out & then order on Bandcamp or @normanrecords.com to support.

There are some people who put a lot of time and effort in for little, if any, personal reward to support the indie music scene. @122musicmanagement.com being a case in point. Here’s your chance to support this unique music festival if you are able👇

Not going to pretend that I am a font of literature knowledge but I cannot take this @theguardian.com list seriously. In any way. www.theguardian.com/books/ng-int... Any top 100 that does not contain Dumas -personal choice would be Count of Monte Cristo - is nothing short of a joke. Who's laughing?
