It's #BandcampFriday and my album is no cheaper for you today than on any other. If anyone did buy it I'd get about 60p more. #bigdeal
But no one will. Instead I will concentrate on writing a book that explains why it's worth buying.

Touching final moment on the making of #bowie's Blackstar with producer Tony Visconti. "He went out like a legend. Like a god." Then his voice catches. "And I want people to think of him like that."

Sorry. It's no cheaper for you today but I'd get a few pennies more if you buy it.
£5 is still its cost, not its value.

What's special about Bandcamp?
It allows artists to host their music to be streamed for free or downloaded at a price of their choice. Amazon typically charge 30% of the price in fees. Think about it. Maybe three quid just to download a few files. That's what near monopoly allows you to do […]

Tomorrow is #BandcampFriday but if you can't wait I'll be more than happy. Finding Time is about finding time to do what's meaningful to you. It took me years. You only have to find 50 minutes and thirty four seconds. And £5 if you want it for keeps.
