Listening to The Music's 2002 eponymous debut album today. It is an absolute belter of a record from start to finish. The Music were obscure Leeds-based band with just 3 albums and the worst search engine optimisation of all time (but that just makes them all the cooler). They split up in 2011. Gutted I'll never see them live.

Couldn't find a good image of the album online so here's a pic of my copy of the CD

Okay, now I've listened to the entirety of Rumours, I can say with confidence that I'm actually not that big into Fleetwood Mac... I'm just a fan Stevie Nicks https://youtu.be/2b9BpunsVmo?si=nB8ax_-8vJDggg98

A friend has asked me to score a short film they directed.

Never done anything like that before. Excited for the challenge!

So I'm listening to The B52's properly for the first time and until now I didn't realise a band could have influenced me without me even having listened to them. Vibes so incredible they're going back in time and dancing around me of 5 years ago's head as I started trying to write my own music.

Did a set Grand Central's Open Mic Night again. This time I recorded the whole thing.

I'm doing another open mic on Wednesday next week. This time I thought I'd do something a bit different and play my bass.

Turns out singing and playing bass is a lot harder than singing and playing guitar.

I'm committing to it anyway.

Cursed home recording of one of my songs.

The tidbits of the Summer Games Fest I've seen has inspired me to write probably the most meanspirited and scathing song I've ever written. Fun stuff.

Fuck it. Balls to Picasso upon thee. The album where Bruce Dickinson does a rap verse. Is it a good rap? No! Is the album good? I think so.

As it's pride month, I'm sharing another song of mine that can be interpreted has having something of a trans undertone... It's the story of someone who never learnt how to smile.
