RIP Brian. There won’t be another like you x

All this fame is getting to me. Any advice on how to cope?

350 followers! And only a fraction of them are pornbots! I am all a-quiver with pride.

Well, it happened - Spotify screwed us. A song has been pulled for “artificial streaming” - but 90% of our streams were from Spotify algorithmic plays. No to appeal, no information shared. How can this be fair? We haven’t paid for bot streams and never would. Also we had barely any streams!

Exposure

Can anyone explain the Spotify algorithm? We put a song out two weeks ago - one day it got 2000 plays. On Friday it got 100. How does this stuff work?

#indiemusic #london Any suggestions for a good recording studio / producer for a band in Southwest London?

I resolve to live my own truth, so today I eat the 2000 calorie wheel of double cream Brie I’ve been saving since Boxing Day.

Pretty good so far

This is a huge week for us. We just hit 250 followed on this lovey platform and we’ve smashed out streaming target, we over 6000 so far. It’s not Sgt Pepper but it means a lot to us. Thanks everyone who’s listened, and if you haven’t, give it a spin - both songs pinned to our profile x

Feeling so torn about Spotify. Approx 6000 streams in our first month on the platform. We will get paid a few dollars for that. Robbery. But That’s 6000 people I’d have had no way of accessing in the pre-internet days. Confusing times.

We put a song out last year and it hit 3k Spotify streams in a month. We were super proud. We just put a song out and it’s hit 3k in 5 days. Buzzing. Thanks people x

Five years ago I went to Hale End to observe a new initiative where the best of the academy girls were parachuted in to train with the boys to extend their challenge. One of those two 13 year old girls is now England u17 captain and just signed her first pro contract. Well done Laila Harbert! 🔥

Can anyone help? I’ve got this lovely old amp and cabinet but it’s - just stopped. No idea what to do. Anyone? #indiemusic #guitars #guitaramps #musicians #helpfulstrangers

Morning from icy London all! How’s your 2025 so far?

Dystopian update: Spotify fines artists if it suspects bots listen to their songs, at the same time Meta openly deploys bots. Who the hell is any of this stuff for? Who asked for it? How do we stop it?

It’s the first #newmusicfriday of 2025 and here’s our new playlist! @thisiswarband.bsky.social @howlinghawkband.bsky.social @novelistme @novacane_band @dexter_band @barrywalshsongs @dominowavemusic @popclawband.bsky.social @_lostcitysoul_ open.spotify.com/playlist/2Hj...

Big thanks to Steve for his kind words - check out our last song of 2024 on all platforms now, not just the bit evil Spotty one x

The very excellent @howlinghawkband.bsky.social sneaking this out earlier in the week. Channeling a bit of Tom Petty and its rather splendid open.spotify.com/track/1d9THH...

It’s always been a nervy experience starting on social media, but I’ve said hi to a good few people and nobody has told me to bugger off yet. Thanks lovely humans x

Something to keep in mind for 2025 Written by James Miller of A Small Fiction

Happy 2025 you lovely lot! Who’s had a go at a fresh start? Anyone been out for a run / walk / got out of bed and had a wash?

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Happy new year you gorgeous lot. 2024 has been kind and 2025 will be even better. Love from London x

Christmas comedown? We feel you.

There are no rules in this no man’s land between Christmas & New Years. Read all night! Don’t finish a book! Read three books at once! Just go nuts.

Be careful out there folks - the porn bots have landed. Come on Bluesky boffins, save the day!

Tune in gang - mark speller is a legend and track 3 is a blinder…

Crikey this Christmas lark is stressful. Time to sit by the fire and listen to the velvet underground, like Santa would have wanted.

What a great voice! Sad to hear

‘‘Twas the weekend before Christmas, and all through the Asda, the zombie apocalypse was accelerating. Why do they come here? Perhaps it is some memory of what they were before…

If you told people a hundred years ago of the technology we have now, they’d assume we’d set the robots to work and spend our days making art. What’s the game plan, fellow humanoids? Anyone got an idea? I want to spend my days playing guitar and painting sci-fi scenes, so advice welcomed.

As we enter the holidays, remember to play music nice and loud at 8am, to help your neighbours keep to a healthy waking routine. It is important to think of others at this time of year.

Morning peeps. I’m seeking music recommendations for my day. Hit me, algorithm buddies!

The new superman trailer is a joy. It feels like geeks taking back what a superhero movie can be after the grittification that followed Nolan’s movies. There’s colour, light, silliness - look at nathan fillions haircut 4fs. Love it.

I’ve watched the trailer six times and superman is going to be flipping awesome. I’m going to get another dog and you know its name already.

Listening to Natalie Imbruglia Torn on the platform at Vauxhall station and I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS. I’m still punk so there.

Hey you gorgeous M.f.s We are trying to hit 2500 streams by Xmas Help us and Santa will slide up or down your chimney according to preference x

Anyone looking for a good person to send music to for airplay, @indieswithmarky.bsky.social is one of the good guys!
