Friendly reminder... Engagement is not an indicator of the quality of your work. It's an indicator of whether a tech firm feels like they can make money or not off the back of your art.

So Andrew ironically for over a decade had a police security detail to protect him 24/7. Now those same authorities have arrested him for "allegedly" committing misconduct. Conducted during constant police "supervision."

mega lolz... what a wanker

I’ve been reading up on mixing and production to improve. It can be confusing, since there are only approaches aimed at a desired aesthetic. Often chalk and cheese... I think I’ve moved past the hesitation and paralysis that comes with asking "Is this the universal right way?"

Advertise your accent with a gif..

I bet he's sweating now.

Now I am out of left-over Indian food, thus there is no more joy left in the world.

I enjoyed The Bone Temple... its better than the last film... but... 28 Days Later is still the best...

In a coffee shop and surprised I haven’t been served shit coffee for once

Going to watch The Bone Temple tonight…

I’ve become a real music gear porn nerd over the last few months. I kinda wonder why more musicians aren’t like this… cause they aren't... Then I think am I just chasing control while others are chasing expression... Then I think yeah but... competence first... freedom second...

Well, I’ve officially finished my music gear want list. Now I just need to figure out what to do with my life in the awkward 40 year gap between "Adding to Cart" and winning the Postcode Lottery

I don't follow football but... the irony that he oversees one of the most globalised non "British" institutions in the country... from my count 5 British players are currently in the senior 25 man squad... a little inconsistent. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Credit card bill in... paid... then added two more guitar pedals to it

Listening to radio 4 and holy shit I was a parliamentary researcher with this guy www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scot...

I actually dreamt about guitar pedals last night

Bit weird when Google Gemini knows who you are

Our tiny desk contest entry for 2026! I’ve done an entry every year since 2021, and it’s always eye opening to take stock of the growth that has happened… youtu.be/FWfEJLndHrI?...

Urgh... Don’t think I’ll listen to the news today… I’ve had enough of hearing how all the annoying kids at school.. desperate for recognition... high on 10p chomps... grabbed everything in sight and called it achievement somehow rose up the ranks to become politicians.

Post a banger that isn't in English... youtu.be/iTd_9WiiRQ8?...

Played Be Here Now by Oasis once today… so I already know they’ll be my most listened to artist by minutes in Apple Replay this December just off that act
