The self-titled debut album by Cousin Ben has just come out and is available to stream everywhere. I produced this record for my lovely old friend Ben and I played bass, piano and organ, as well as scoring the strings. Very proud of it. Check it out! cousinben1.Bandcamp.com

Just had my first, of many I’m sure, listen to the Jasmine.4.t album - a casual recommend of her first single from @christt.bsky.social that is fast turning into a big favourite. open.spotify.com/album/4amlS1...

This morning when I published this article, we hadn’t yet heard Lucy Dacus’ new single ‘Ankles’ nor seen the video. Now we have. I stand by what I wrote.

Just read the estimable @christt.bsky.social's Border Crossing 95, and realise why I received 2 copies of 'Truffle Race' when I'd only paid for one... Very good, though!

I always wanted to do this. I’ve made a zine of my best bits of writing from 2024. ‘Just A Truffle Race to the End’ is A5, 56 pages and I’ve done 100 copies. You can buy one now (£4) from the Border Crossing online shop: bordercrossing.bigcartel.com/product/annu...

Bumpety bump, because what else have you got to do on a Friday night better than ordering my zine full of words off the Internet?

New Double Chorus newsletter just landed in inboxes. I wrote about falling in love with an error, during Tom Williams recording sessions, also Commoners Choir’s new EP of Ramones covers and a short, careful, qualified defence of Tay being a billionaire…

I really recommend this. Brilliant lyrics and insight. In fact, it's sat by my side as I write this.

Hello. I need to clear the last two boxes of my annotated lyric book from 2022. So it’s now discounted to £10+p&p. What a bargain for a (wildly praised!) beautiful gilted cloth-bound book… get one for the obscure indie songwriting fan in your life? bordercrossing.bigcartel.com/product/buried

Well, that’s one box gone already. THANK YOU!

A new Double Chorus just dropped in people’s inboxes, mainly having a go at the BBC’s Sound Of 2025 list, because it’s stupid. Read for free, if you like it maybe sign up? doublechorus.substack.com/p/049-the-so...
