In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

quick heads up… our next East Sussex Psychedelic Film Club event is Sun Ra plus a Jeremy Deller Bruce Lacey film and q&a - this will sell out super quick, so get on board now! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/espfc-15-s...

I really love @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social's Music For Healing series. A little piece of joy each time it lands in my Bandcamp. The latest might be my favourite but tbh I think that most months.

The finest.

Also, please stop referring to the Hootenanny Nuisance as "Jools Holland". Call him by his proper name of Julian Netherlands.

…we were talking about Best Album/Reissue/Compilation/Soundtrack/New Discovery of the year. For me, this, by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social is the compilation of the year. Nearly 3 hours of psychedelic music I'd never heard before. Just wonderful. richardnorris.bandcamp.com/album/mr-nor...

Seasons Greetings and a Happy Neu Year!

Instagram has had my account on hold for a month now, alongside my facebook site pages, my label pages, and the official page for The Grid. I set up a new Instagram page, explaining that I've been taken down for no reason I can see. Instagram has banned that page, too. Is it something that I said?

A highlight of 2025 is another 12 months of incredible music by @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social Here's an 11-piece, 90-minute Dubhed selection to wet your whistle. dubhed.blogspot.com/2025/12/like...

In case you missed it, here's Simon Armitage's 'Dear Pink Floyd' with my music, recorded by us recently in London, to accompany the new Wish You Were Here box set. www.pinkfloyd.com/dear-pink-fl... #pinkfloyd #simonarmitage #wishyouwerehere #dearpinkfloyd

Three weeks in, I’m still banned from Instagram and Facebook for no reason. They say this will be sorted within ‘one day’, but I am still waiting. No discourse, no contact. The good thing is I am being weened off Meta and I lime it.
