This was at the Blue Lamp of course, some show it was

Really gutted about this. After some years away from Aberdeen, i started going to the Blue Lamp fairly regularly again and in a difficult year it's been some respite. Cultural institution here.

From two years ago: Wrote about records from The Terminal Buildings, Long Hair in Three Stages, Psychic Shakes, and Dan Koshute:

Lovely to be so extensively featured on the excellent Rosy Overdrive yesterday, wherein there's a comprehensive rundown of my releases from this year, alongside some other hot tips.

I've definitely missed most of a support band's set - which i wanted to catch! - because i was going by myself and had to guess the times. Have long thought you should have faith in your lineup and trust people to make their own informed decisions.

After a short delay this is now on most of the streaming services and online stores, along with a few other slightly older EPs that were previously only available on bandcamp. Have at mine links: push.fm/fl/terminalb...

In case you missed it, and you may well have, i released a new EP of 3 nice wee songs a couple weeks ago. I think they sound nicer than usual and I enjoyed writing them. terminalbuildings.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

Great Lives: Towards the end Stewart Lee explains to Mathew Parris why Parris is an ignorant buffoon (my words, not Stew's). Priceless. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Been learning some jazz standards again recently and you can really tell when the lyrics were added as an afterthought

Six days since the last Twaddle? Too long! Here’s a new one with excellent new sounds from Saint Etienne, Barbara, Tchotchke, The Happy Somethings, Soursop, The Apartments, John Southworth, Ivy, Modern Nature, Scree, FAKE!, Kitten Tools, Vanity Mirror, The Beths, Faun Fables, Titanic...

A recent stacked episode of Cycles Per Second for you to check out that coincidentally includes one of my songs: www.nstop.com/cycles-per-s...

After much travel and live music, been catching up on getting the past two weeks' worth of Cycles Per Second shows up on Mixcloud. Here's two hours of my favorite new and newly-issued music, everything from jangly pop to prickly punk to bedroom ambient. www.mixcloud.com/nstop/

miranda absolutely nailed what bugs me about revisionist album cover-ism, as well as what is so special about good album art!! rated: ENJOY

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

A compilation of Pavement, Silver Jews and Gary Young cover songs featuring 14 acts from across Ireland's DIY and independent scene. All proceeds go to Palestinian Aid Organisations. classichiss.bandcamp.com/album/classi...

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Belatedly getting stuck into this great Pavement/Silver Jews/associated bands covers compilation from Ireland classichiss.bandcamp.com/album/classi...

Another wee mention for me in WL//WH, this time for 'Room In Your Heart', and lots of other good within www.whitelight-whiteheat.com/wl-wh-weekly...

Bandcamp Friday today so a very polite plug that if you’d fancy a CD 💿 of the new album, it’d be a good time and @subjangle.bsky.social and me would be very appreciative 💜🙏 goodbyewudaokou.bandcamp.com/album/anythi...

Realised this morning i actually meant to release this yesterday to avoid the bandcamp friday mish mash but anyway i forgot and here's a new 3 song EP: terminalbuildings.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

This came out in June and I'm just checking it out now but really good so far. From Fife! indianrug.bandcamp.com/album/sad-ti...

What a lovely piece to be included in! A typically great wee read from Molly here, do have a look:

Lovely review from @addtowantlist.bsky.social for 'Belles of the Bucket' and an insightful comparison with the previous album too: addtowantlist.com/index.php/20...

Very much enjoying the new new album from @terminalbuildings.bsky.social released today, as well as the not quite as new album released two weeks ago. Beautifully idiosyncratic indie pop/rock:

Good morning, new one out today: terminalbuildings.bandcamp.com/album/belles...

Going through my music library, and came across this band/artist Clevedon, whose music i downloaded in 2014, listened to lots and was weirdly really influential for me. Can't find anything about them anywhere online so no idea where i came across it! clevedon.bandcamp.com/album/after-...

Not working on any music just now but by gum have i been uploading files and drawing covers and things like that. So a few things coming out soon, the first of which is this Friday and the next of which is probably not long after that because i don't like this business of sitting on things.

Last March I put an album on @bandcamp.com for the first time. It was mostly recorded on a £100 electric guitar with Ableton drum clips. Now with drums and production from @bathdrummer.bsky.social, Eldest Daughter Energy is reborn! 🎧 everywhere Spotify tinyurl.com/2wks5vdc YT tinyurl.com/mtzd2848

Hi friends, nervously delighted to release my new album today via the wonderful @subjangle.bsky.social sincerely appreciate you lending it your ears (and anyone who wants to repost) lots of love💜 💿 goodbyewudaokou.bandcamp.com/album/anythi... #janglepop #dreampop #indie #indiepop #altrock #musicsky

Next Friday has a really good release line-up, just saying. Ganser, The Beths, Modern Nature, Wavers, Yuasa-Exide, Google Earth, Laminate, Goodbye Wudaokou, Cyan Pools, Herbal Tea, Grace Vonderkuhn, Milked, The Terminal Buildings, Retirement Party, Understanding, Moviola, Foot Ox, The Berries...

In the future, when a jazz musician is improvising, they'll be able to access chatgpt via an rounded, unobtrusive, context-aware device worn on a lanyard around the neck, and chatgpt will offer iterative suggestions to the musician about what notes or jazz stuff to do next.

Enjoyed this, gothic punk sort of stuff: shunningground.bandcamp.com/album/youre-...

The drums march along at the clip of an I.V. drip Like sparks from a muffler dragged down the strip

A wee mention for a song off my new album on White Light // White Heat yesterday: www.whitelight-whiteheat.com/wl-wh-weekly... Lots of other great stuff in there for me to dive into as well.

Relevant to above. That BBC are denied entry is reported as fact of nature, rather than a condition of apartheid occupation. It's then used as an opportunity to call into question the integrity of local journalists on the ground, rather than of the authority denying access bsky.app/profile/saul...

My new track, ‘Slate Age’ is a Big Star-inspired, jangle-pop bop. Stream it wherever:
