Love me a holiday, love me a solo!

Really pleased to see people discovering the “affinity” album artists and picking up their new material. Why not check out the compilation and then follow up the individual artists yourselves. monochromemotif.bandcamp.com/album/affini...

Aren’t holidays great? Especially when they coincide with birthdays! It’s time for my weekly track intro for Reasons I Can’t Explain! The penultimate track was the second single released and a return to my standard sappy love song! This one started whilst walking around Y8 👇

Sunday night is here so it’s time for my weekly track intro for Reasons I Can’t Explain! Next up is a stray from the norm for me - at least in lyrical content! This is the first of 2 protest songs on the album and a foray into the world of grunge as well! 👇

Shall we try a requests show for next Sunday on untidyradio.com? Throw 'em in the replies. #music #musicsky #radio

Time for Oli's 24!! 1. Come On by @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social 2. The Hunger by Jeff Vicario 3. I Didn't Know I Was Growing Up by Allison Leah 4. Let Me Go by Burning Streets 5. Wasted by @nomurdernomo.bsky.social 6. Never Give Up by A Photo Finish 7. The Darkest Placee by Outshine

We are at the halfway point for my weekly track intro from my latest album - Reasons I Can’t Explain! Week and track 5 is the last single that was released - the epic guitar ballad The One! I wanted to write a track like Summer in the City with that cool descending line. This one is slightly more 👇

One last hit of inspiration for my LSL…

And a guitar solo to finish the day! Not sure about the second half yet…

Organ parts next!

Bass day is always fun!

A day late for my weekly track intro from my latest album - Reasons I Can’t Explain - and Long Service Leave does explain that! Week 4 brings us one of my personal faves from the album - Can You See Me? This tune is a quaint riff that kind of came out while 👇

Long service leave gives me an excuse to play guitar on a Monday afternoon - laying down this solo for a new track I’m working on. First time doing finger picking on an electric solo; really digging what the Paper Plane Guitars #orangeemperor is giving out here!

Here is Oli's 24! 1. Just Friends by Teagan Nolan (New on the station) 2. Reve de fou by Charlotte Couleau 3, Doula For Your Dreams by Evelyn Laurie (New on the station) 4. Can You See Me? by @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social (New on the station) 5. Out of Time by Robbie Harte (New on the station)

Last full Fiji day!

Fiji Day 4!

Fiji day 3!

Fiji day 2!

Fiji day 1

Sunday night means weekly track intro from my latest album - Reasons I Can’t Explain! Week 3 and track 3 is the first single that was released way back in January - Anything For Her! This one started as a bass warm up during rehearsals for a school production. 👇

Sunday night means weekly track intro from my latest album - Reasons I Can’t Explain! Week 2 and track 2 is a reggae-inspired tune - Come On! This one was originally a slow piano ballad written during Year 6 music classes, that morphed into the wah-filled track we see today. 👇

Lazy Saturday calls for a guitar solo with my Paperplane Guitars #OrangeEmperor! One of two developing and pretty happy with where this is going!
