The Old Fools were foolish enough to invite me on their excellent podcast. Out now I believe. Builders treats! I had a lovely time, thank you to the brilliant @ianmartin.bsky.social @quantick.bsky.social @oldfoolspod.bsky.social

Safe In My Garden - a new compilation I've put together for Ace Records. Melancholic sunshine pop, created in the shadow of Vietnam. Perfect for early autumn. www.acerecords.co.uk/safe-in-my-g...

The new @acerecords.bsky.social comp CHIP SHOP POP is SO much my thing - 24 early 70s melodic Brit pop singles that should've charted, but didn't - but it's such a comprehensive set that even if I wasn't already in the bag for it I'd still be impressed.

Five stars.

Chip Shop Pop, the sound of early 70s British Bubblegum, is getting much love from people who've heard it. I'm doing a launch for it a week on Saturday. Come on down!

I have decided Yungblud seems very sweet and I particularly like his stories about his mum and his nan. This is how I approach music made for younger people these days.

A happy cat in a cardboard box in the sunshine. (Morgan Freeman voice) in a story as old as time.

I deeply hope Sly Stone and Brian Wilson rest well. They gave us whole worlds. 💚
