Was watching one of my favourite all-time movies last night and noticed that it was actually released *today* in 1972! Happy birthday to Dracula AD 1972. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN1M...

I am hoping to get to the point (soon) where I can just sack all social media and communicate my releases when they're 'live' on my bandcamp. To wit: even as a music fan, I'm getting tired of the idea of album release cycles- months of BS and jumping up & down before you can even hear it.

Very excited to be able to share a new c8xx song on October 3rd. Definitely my favourite so far, as it feels incredibly distilled & powerful. 💋

Absolutely. 💖

That's really lovely to hear- thank you! ✨

I've always enjoyed the protective environment aspect of Ikea, where time of day loses meaning. A lesbian dinner date at Ikea is iconic for good reason. It's a good antidote to feeling sick of the world outside.

Stratovox (Taito, 1980): this little shooter is incredibly sinister because of the early, (extremely) crunchy speech samples. "We'll be back!" sounds particularly menacing. #jeudujour

Pac-Man Rally (PSP); realise I haven't done a #jeudujour today (it's been the first day back in the studio after my summer break) but I've been obsessed with this Mario Kart style racer all week. Insanely cute & incredibly playable.

A few nights ago, I dreamed that I managed to build a fully functional 1:1 scale model of a Vectrex, completely from Lego. Of course I wouldn't be so silly to attempt something...
