I need to get rid of my earphones and get some headphones because they are bad for my ears and I get wax build up and infections. Anyway here’s a poem about my earbuds I wrote in a uni workshop a few years ago.

Substack - pros and cons? I feel like I missed the boat and now everyone has one. I’ve a vague idea of using it to publicly hold myself to account as I create my next bit of live work. Who has one and is it worth it? Is any of this worth it? Should we all just put ourselves in a big bin?

We’re hiring. Please help us share this far and wide.
