#bluesky posting character limit is really starting to piss me off. its far too restrictive 😒 I have to keep modifying my #mastodon posts to the point that I don't bother posting them as I am literally restricted to a single sentence 😒

I am so sick and tired of the word 'beats' in music. It is so genre/generationally narrow as a descriptor that its borderline insulting to the vast majority of people outside those specific genres who still write 'songs' and are songwriters. outside of the narrow set of genres where 'beats' is […]

Genuinely ovely bit of journalism from the Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb/18/dog-winter-olympics-cross-country-skiing ❤️😁👍

I f**king despair at the internet a lot lately I mean it can't be just me no?!?! you have to ask that on #reddit?!?! I mean doing your own research is now too difficult and we 're now in the age of 'just do everything for me'?!?!? I need a wall to bang my head against

I can state quite objectively that "The Detectorists" and now "Small Prophets" are the best television of the past 20 years or so. If you can 'access' BBC iPlayer you need to watch both. I absolutely adore both ❤️

well this is a bit of a concern... do we now need to worry about headphone use?? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/18/hazardous-substances-headphones #music #news #headphones

RE: https://musicians.today/@MTP/116077097292456945 My Turning Point has a few codes left for free downloads of the last 2 singles. I like and have DL'd both, but I'm particularly recommending "I Want Out." I love its sad, yet uplifting, shouty-anthem quality. Also its suggested music genres […]

Loving "I Want Out" by My Turning Point... @MTP Somehow angry shouty anthem and euphoric uplifting at the same time. https://mtp-music.bandcamp.com/track/i-want-out #newmusic #indie

Week off work next week. #album may be finished recording wise, but the 'admin' of PPL and PRS registrations and starting to sort out album artwork begins!! #music #musicadmin #musicproduction

#album no.3 is DONE ✅ track 8 test master 0 was the one, no tweaking required (creating a project template for this album was the time saver of all time savers!! all tweaking done at mixing rather than mastering) Album title decided but I'm not telling you!! […] [Original post on musicians.today]

#album update I 'think' album no.3 is DONE (and it only took 6 weeks, started on the 28th Dec). Just binge listening to the last track 8 test master but I cant find any issues so its probably the one. Now I need to find a broken acoustic guitar I can destroy for the album cover. anyone in […]

Dear #fediverse I am currently writing and recording a new album and one of the songs is a love letter to the summer of 1999 (think of it as a spiritual homage to "Summer of '69"). I want to do a music video that is a collage of photos and home video footage from that year. If you were a […]

Two #musicvideo 's for #album no.3 done. 2nd one is a gut punch for a song I originally wrote and recorded way back in 1999. Completely re-worked and re-recorded properly, finally after 27 years. for #kosovo

#album update: Track 7 tracking finished ✅ song is from a very productive song writing partnership from all the way back in 1995!! Imagine #bonjovi and #dokken having a riff baby and then layering it up with some #u2 Joshua Tree era delay and then throw on some twin lead harmony guitars! […]

Track 6 = DONE! 🦾 Already started testing tempo map for track 7 and laying down a scratch guitar track to refine my arrangement and bring it in at around 3:30 - 3:40 ish Kinda Bon Jovi meets Dokken ish #newmusic #musicproduction #newalbum

The speed album no.3 is coming together is staggering! (I'm in NOT rushing either, I'm being very deliberate) Track 6 almost finished! Secret to the speed = RESTRICTION!! I saved the first song in this 'phase3' Reaper project as a project template so I have […] [Original post on musicians.today]

Song 5 now in progress, Julie, hold my calls.... #music #musicproduction #songwriting

Half (maybe 2 5ths) of the new album done to test mastering phase. If you're familiar with my #melancholic #acoustic #singersongwriter vibe you are going to shit the bed when you hear this album!! I'm doing a Dylan and releasing my latent rock demon! If you […] [Original post on musicians.today]

my local guitar shop didn't have any bass plectrums or any other plectrums big enough and far enough, so the meter key bass #plectrum has had an upgrade! filed down and smoothed with some fingernail boards 😁😍 #music #guitar

most days the imposter syndrome is STRONG, and the doubts about my abilities swirl like a maelstrom and I procrastinate in the DAW like a M'F**KER. Today is NOT one of those, just tracked possibly the best vocals I have ever done in my life! F**K ME I CAN SING!! Best lead 'rock' vocal I've ever […]

hAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

recording #bassGuitar today as as I have guitarists nails and cant play with my fingers and this song is an 8th note rock banger it needed a big fat pick, which as a guitarist I do not possess. So I had to improvise.... worked a bloody treat!!! I have found […] [Original post on musicians.today]

#Helpwanted We are living through the worst timeline, many of you feel it. I've written a new song/anthem for the people that want out of this timeline and I need your help for the video. send me #news URL's to news items showing the corporate/political greed […] [Original post on musicians.today]

why is a gaming/tech channel doing better investigative journalism than ACTUAL investigative journalists and news companies???!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lYsO4k7OIY #gamersnexus #journalism #news

Well, it sounds like a stadium rock anthem, and it plays like a stadium rock anthem, and its sings like a stadium rock anthem, and its go the 3 word shout of a stadium rock anthem.. I think I've just written a banging stadium rock anthem! #music #songwriting #singersongwriter #rock #musicproduction

The mixing process has begun.... This is a song of two halves, first half is clean and sparse-ish, and then the second half is full on stadium anthem, crowd chanting, leave the stadium crying rock heaven #newsong #newmusic #music #musicproduction

Dear #youtube when I press this button, it DOES NOT mean show it to me again in 5 minutes you F***KING A**HOLES it means NEVER SHOW IT TO ME AGAIN!!!

I'm at the worst part of the recording session 😒 Everything has been tracked and some basic panning/levels done but everything is a very large (60+ tracks) morass of raw, unmixed tracks with no FX at all (other than virtual instruments that already have some) Now have to go through the process […]

My wife just now after 4 glasses of Prosecco watching the 1% Club after Lee chats to an audience member named Yuri. "isn't that the famous Astronaut?" ME - Yuri Gagarin HER "NO!! that's the guy who used to bend spoons!!" ME- no, that's Yuri Geller HER "NO!!! don't be stupid that's the guy from […]

Finally used my VPN to connect to the USA for the first time as #DistroKid emailed me to tell me my music was live on iHeartRadio which isn't available in the UK for some reason. I would never have have put myself in a similar vein to the 'similar artists' […] [Original post on musicians.today]

Prance like no-one is watching...

new song has FINALLY gotten over that production hump where it is finally stating to sound like what's in my head for the past 2 months and not a single #acoustic #guitar in sight! 100% inspired by my deep love of #u137 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_15ofk0eSo #music #songwriting
