Music lover, generally a people hater. Not sure why I'm here. Maybe I'm lonely. I died twice you know.
I began 2026 hoping to be less angry, to learn about meditation and Buddhism, or at the least the principles behind it.

I've got a new album to release (once I find the tracks on my "other" pc - don't ask) and for the first time in years I can honestly say I love it/think it's really good. Not groundbreaking, not about to storm the charts, but I like it which is a refreshing change.

This is straight out of the autocrat playbook yet shamefully, most of the public seems either resigned, relaxed or even actively gleeful about seeing their civil liberties chucked down the toilet. As though they'll never need them.
And at midnight tonight, we won't be able to say any of this again.

I just uploaded 2 tracks to the BBC Introducing website. Imagine if they play them and I become famous. No, I can't imagine it either. But it would be funny, and I don't smile that often, so, you know.
