Teen 1: 'he looks like Jeremy Clarkson'
Teen 2: 'who's Jeremy Clarkson?'
Teen 1: 'y'know, that old man who runs a farm or whatever'

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

Loved Liz’s book and this article is also great
I wrote about listening, thinking, reflection, memory & not “offloading” it all to sp*tify!

Just walked past an SUV absolutely blasting out Fairytale Of New York. People across the road have had their Christmas tree up for 2 weeks. Is everyone alright?

Finally got to see Tortoise this week, one of my favourite ever bands. Weirdly emotional to see them enjoying playing together so much after all this time. And making a new album! And it’s great! Incredible gig, absolute legends.

Bandcamp Friday.
I released an album recently, and I'm really proud of it. It's called 'Building Beyond The Sky' and you can buy it on vinyl, if you like.
If you enjoy it, tell a friend. Fuck AI, fuck Spotify - weird uncommercial music 4eva 😍
