Don't normally pass comment on well-known artists who pass away. But the Greg Brown that I knew briefly was a humble modest man who wanted a home for what he was doing as a solo artist. We had a few chats/exchanges. First and foremost, he would always talk @skydivingpenguins.bsky.social 1/2

Putting this out there again for all you independent musicians, and grassroots labels doing what you can to support the artists. Turning the tables on AI & algorithms.

Samaritans are at the other end of a telephone today if you’d like somebody to talk to. You don’t need to be in crisis to give them a call.

How odd - I spent 90s in Russia and never heard of Britronica 🤷‍♂️ i-d.co/article/brit...

In case of racist uncles or dead moms or someone saying "only two genders" or your gifts didn't arrive on time or you have a tummy ache or this day is just awkward and you wish it was over: Arlo loves you as you are. You can be okay anyway and it's okay to not be okay. Happy Thursday!
