LONDON-BASED ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS!

Anyone interested in playing an (unpaid) gig mid/end Feb? Broadly experimental vibes.

It's in an art-gallery in Vauxhall. Something that engages with the theme of 'law / dissensus / protest' would be ideal but not required.

Get in touch if interested!

A cheesy folk cover album featuring Norah Jones being one of the best albums of 2025 was absolutely not on my bingo card.

It's all last chances today:

Last chance for anyone associated with @meansmagazine.bsky.social (regular contributors, artists we've showcased, people who've supported us with ad pages, anyone from our broad community) to recommend albums for our end of year list!

It's going up early next week!

Well I thought this was pretty funny, but apparently no dice whatsoever.
If you go on @kickstarter.com you'll quickly see that there is a choice between funding our latest LP/book, and funding a new Thundercats role-playing game. I know where my money's going, Lion-O.

In all seriousness - its the last few days, so please share!

Just backed this. The soundtrack sounds wonderful. Please consider backing, even if it's just chucking the project a quid. Or just £4 gets you the book and soundtrack as downloads. Physical tiers all look great too. Absolute bargain, and supporting a top label at the same time.

If any Americans are traveling to the UK and want to transport some records with INSANE shipping charges (making them impossible for me to buy outright), I'm building quite a list.

Representing the universal 'other', Near Minerals chose to give the main castles unseen enemy the same theme as the castle itself, though drawn through further layers of decay and obfuscation, the harmony finally collapsing into a whistling drone of frozen textures:

I'm not affiliated in any way, but I saw this when promoting my own @kickstarter.com campaign, and it looks really cool.
It's close to ending without hitting its funding, which seems a real shame!
