I often find Talking Heads leave me kind of cold. OBVIOUSLY completely respect them, but always find it hard to be moved.

Really regret not being able to get our effort finished for submission to this, but nobody wants two-thirds of a protest...

The guys in marketing just told me I need to give you an emotional message about our new song.
Here goes.
It's a mostly true, very sad story of our times - all about a boy who gets cancelled.
It's not clear what's happened to him since the incident.

I really love @bccamplight.bsky.social stuff.
I think he's one of the most interesting songwriters around, the recent tour was awesome.
BUT, every time I mention him to friends, no-one seems to have heard of him. I am changing this, through spreading the word.

It wasn't intentional, but lots of tracks on the new album have ended up being about the cruel end of technology. Again.
'Billy Said Goodbye' is about a young man having his world torn down.
It's out tomorrow, but you can hear it on our site now.

There's a growing rustling of folks waking up to this and a bunch of the other technologies and platforms that have shaped the last decade or so of creativity.
"...it’s too late for most of the conversations I hear around me about music and AI. The question isn’t what are we going to do about it. I believe the more productive conversation at this point is what are we going to do afterwards"

So excited to receive the new @gabrielkahane.bsky.social album and beautiful manuscript through the post this weekend. (Already hung in pride of place next to @bccamplight.bsky.social tour poster).
