Yeah The Guardian weren’t being too complimentary which kind of got my mind whirring on whether any of it mattered to her now - or if she kind of exists outside of the rest of the music industry now

Who knows what’s next - I hope it’s more time to spend on the site, more great records and more rambling about them - thanks to anyone who’s read anything

Weird year on a personal level - and a weird time to be writing a blog when everyone’s kind of moved on - but I still get a kick out of sharing new music and using my tiny platform to help the little guys in any small was I can

Taylor Swift’s level of fame is so wild to me - imagine being so famous that whether your album is good doesn’t even matter anymore (Is it? I haven’t listened). Bad or good reviews make no difference when, you can just go on a podcast and make it instantly into the biggest podcast on the planet.
