Thank you ROSALÍA for making something sensational for the album listeners 😭

I thought chopping up bits of content to promote my new song might make me dislike said song due to overexposure

This has not happened, I fear it's a gentle banger

😡 listening to music loudly on public transport

🥰 listening to Bob Mortimer's slender people loudly on public transport

If you, like me, are stoked that Be Your Own Pet the band are back making music and touring then here's a cover I did of their song, Adventure.

It's very different from the original, when punk goes acoustic kinda thing :)

VIDEO but in slightly lower quality due to upload restrictions on MB. Soz folks.

You can see the full vid here if you like :)

Man, I wanna post my vids on Bluesky but they're too big to post. Anyway here's a link to one while I figure it out:

One of @blocparty.com's greats, live looped using Ableton Push 2

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire
I watched TV, it informed me

Recording an album is so much fun. Hard work, but fun. Feeling very lucky to have the opportunity and support to do it

Anyone else just like to drink a stock cube every now and then

Here's one for:

- fans of the killers
- fans of mr brightside
- fans of stacked harmonies
- fans of tigers

Musicians / producers, what things do you keep in mind when you're trying to figure out the best tempo for a song?

A lil live loop cover of Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it (a lot)

I love streaming music live on twitch/YouTube because it's led to so many awesome things, one of them being learning to use the Ableton Push 2 🤩

My fave books of last year (- the empusium because I've lent it to a pal)

The Three-Body Problem - Cixin Liu
Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead - Olga Tokarczuk
11.22.63 - Stephen King
We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
The Empusium - Olga Tokarczuk

Good bloomin' stuff

I just finished @stephenking.bsky.social's 11.22.63 and holy moly do I recommend, especially if you're into sci-fi/thriller/historical fiction.

If you're put off by the length of the book then pls don't be, 740 pages that I found difficult to put down.

Highly recommend! Happy new year! 🎊
