Now you can post video's on this thing I thought I'd post a clip of me & my twin brother playing a complicated two part guitar piece I wrote a few years ago.

I just released my first ever non-album single! This is only because the bastards deleted my album for unsolicited "bot-plays" so I'm just going to re-release a few of the tracks separately.

I made the artwork for my latest release over 20 years ago (when I wrote the song). At work (when no one was looking) I made a 3D model of some basement shelves, then added glass jars, human brains & hearts, and finally rendered it in lurid colours.

A lot of musicians seem to use AI generated artwork for their releases, some of whom probably wouldn't dream of using AI for their music.
I suppose it's no different from a graphic artist using AI generated music for a reel showing their artwork 🤔

Spotify & my distributor Routenote deleted my last album for unsolicited "bot plays", so I've changed distributor & will release a few tracks individually.
Here's a link to the first, in case anyone feels generous enough to give me a pre-save.

I just wrote to the council complaining about the constant roadworks & closures around Canterbury. It felt good! I've decided I'm going to be one of those annoying old people who spend all their time writing letters of complaint about stuff.

I used to see lots of people posting their "Wrapped for Artists" links. Not so much any more. I think that says a lot about artists attitude toward Spotify now.

I listened to David Bowie's "Tonight" album for the first time in ages last night. There's some strange song choices on there. A couple of reggae tracks, some fairly pointless Iggy Pop covers & "God Only Knows"?
"Loving the Alien" still sounds great though!

Just listening to 'The Fall' again. Music critics always seem to love their albums but I find them quite irritating.

Currently chopping up my guitar track & putting everything in time, even though I was certain as I was playing it that it was perfectly in time!

Yet again, before even starting up, my PC asked if I want to back up all my files to the cloud. I don't have any reason to back my files up on the cloud. I back them up every day onto external hard drive. I am genuinely suspicious that you're constantly hassled to put all your data onto the internet

What's the best distributer? I did use Routenote, but they just removed my album (for unsolicited "Bot" plays), told me to contact Spotify. Spotify told me to contact my distributer. So I'm not using them any more. Out of spite 😤
