This is legit one of the best political party ads I have ever seen. These are the issues facing "ordinary" people.

Made some inquiries on putting on an event in a disused nuclear bunker in the west of Edinburgh. It's been used for music events before. Still very early stages, but gauging early interest if it were to go ahead?

None of these people get a pass. Trump was civily convicted for sexual assault and bragged about perving on undressed teenagers while they were banging his drum. Don't let them pretend they didn't know.

Depressing really. No criticism of Canada, but Xi's regime are pretty heinous. Which totalitarian horror seems the least unreasonable, I guess.
NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States.
Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

As a rule, if I contact any promoters/reviewers etc and get ignored, I won't engage with them again. It's way too common in indy music and a practice I have no interest in entertaining.

Took a little wip video and realised my studio space sums up my entire personality. Beer, war and peace novel, xbox controller, novation peak.

Musicians - what will be a better use of your time this year-end - 1) applying for summer festivals and never hearing back or 2) buying those wee green toy soldiers with parachutes and dropping them out an upstairs window?

I always try to give listeners the transcendental experience of listening to some music while doing something else or maybe not.
When you hear a Hans Zimmer score in a film, the feeling that the music evokes is that you are sitting on a sofa watching a movie.
