*ARTIST REVEAL* 12 MIKEY J! We are very happy to announce that @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social is on Vol. 2 of The Weapon and The Shield, a #protest music compilation featuring 37 artists raising money to help defend human rights for all...

So looking forward to hearing all the tracks on this! Honoured that Andrew asked me to contribute!

When I get home from my New York trip, I feel I’ll be ready to start looking to finish a few more songs and get my next album ready. It’s been nice having a bit of a break in the second half of this year, but I’m feeling that itch starting to come back…

*ARTIST REVEAL* #MusicSky @blackdoldrums.bsky.social Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a stark, modern incarnation of gothic post-punk, a sound built on primal drums, cascading guitar textures and melodic bass lines that pulse beneath lyrics of isolation and intensity...

Reckon I’ve chosen the 9-12 tracks for my next album; just need to write lyrics for the last 6!

Mixing what I think is my longest song today - 6.54 mins!

I’m proud of my releases so far this year; family circumstances has meant music has taken a little bit of a backseat, but just 2 more months and i should be back to regular programming! linktr.ee/Mikeyjmusic81

Well I think that interview went well; can never really tell…

So blew a tire today; first time that’s ever happened in 26 years of driving….

Voting opens soon!!

2025 has been a weird year. I’ve released 2 albums, but have felt very unproductive. Maybe because I’ve had my MIL staying with us, maybe it’s just a natural slow down. I’m sitting on about 30 songs in some form of production, with half a dozen with an initial mix done. Where to from here?

And so we come to the final track in my #MadeInChinaAlbum weekly intro, the blues ballad featuring the one and only @richardplaysthesax.bsky.social on horns, Your Call. This is the first song I wrote n my new Paperplane Guitars #orangeemperor guitar. It’s another example of my attempting to 🧵

The penultimate track in my #MadeInChinaAlbum weekly intro is the funky Typhoon Asthma. This one started on the bass, before moving the intro riff to the keys & then funkying up the bass, adding some guitars and an organ! On first listen, it seems that the lyrics & the music don’t really match. 🧵
