Now that I am housed and Covid-free, I can get back to my most important body of work: doing DJ challenge streams advertised by dispassionate lists of real songs you may or may not have heard of.
2pm every Saturday on Twitch, I'd be honoured to see you there.

Haven't managed to do as much RRG content as I would've liked recently, but at the very least I managed a Roundup video for the last couple of months. Reviewing remixes of K-pop, hip-hop, Thai rock, Inuit folk, charity advert music, and more:

This is on Thursday. As I’ve spent a considerable amount of effort showing that the Edinburgh Fringe is a sham, I expect everyone up there to ditch it and come watch this instead. Also pls watch if you’re already in London. Thx. x
