Trying a video post with a little story alongside it. Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell via David Gray. open.substack.com/pub/etudebru...

Being able to watch some of Glastonbury from home is such a joy.

I also write about other stuff! Would love to be part of your routine.

An insight into my experience of chronic illness. open.substack.com/pub/etudebru...

I promise, I say both more thought-provoking and more befuddling things when unbound by a character limit. Subscribe to my Substack to be threatened with a good time. etudebrute.substack.com?r=22a3a&utm_...

Hey, look! It's my first post-introductory post on Substack. In it, I argue that nepo babies are people, too. Mostly. It would be super cool if you would read stuff I write. Like, mega-chill. etudebrute.substack.com/p/nepot-is-in

If you're interested in what goes on in my brain, I suppose this is where I'll be hanging my hat. open.substack.com/pub/etudebru...

Watching The Corrs on TV playing #IOW2025 and it is sooooo bad.

She's so dumb. There's not even an M in Kristi

I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm sure as shit not going to quote a Toby Keith song.

@hutchingsmusic.bsky.social Thank you, Chris!

A night scene from Hangzhou, China. This is Firelight, by Foxbridge. I really think people would love our music if it ever reached them.

Tempus fuckit

I wrote a song for America, as an American who remembers when that didn't feel quite so bad. That's Freedom, Kid. youtu.be/W9VMtsfEDcM?...

Wrote a song for America. Fuck fascism. Abolish ICE. vm.tiktok.com/ZNdAWst26/

A reminder - I will never differentiate immigration based on how someone got here. Borders are garbage, and our immigration system is built to be a trap. It is like a game of "Operation". Occasionally you get lucky and don't set off the buzzer. But that's mostly luck and circumstances.

Think and act; don’t simply react. Thinking can get too much in the way of acting and lead in effect to inaction; but action is too often less productive because it is the anticipated reaction and so easily countered when not simply a trap. Let thinking amplify your action, make it count.

If you would like to reach me, send a DM or find me elsewhere. I just don't have the brainpower to engage meaningfully here. Y'all have a beautiful time.

My love song for Alfred and Henry from #Bodies on Netflix. Happy Pride, friends! Know You Are Loved www.instagram.com/reel/DKjPKXu...

Which one of them shagged a pig?

Dept Q on Netflix. An incursion from the Bartonverse!!!

I really struggle to understand a world where countless people have more emotional investment in the ownership holdings of a billionaire musician they will never know than they do in supporting the music of the people they know, love, and like. You need to calm down.

A spin from the mighty Mark Radcliffe for ‘Tiny Bird’s Lament’ on BBC Radio 2 #thefolkshow “really intimate, acoustic and affecting new music from Josienne” www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I wrote this for my daughter when she was leaving for Hangzhou, China. Come subscribe to me on YouTube! youtu.be/RKLxumy3Z6Y?...

This album is released today! It’s three years of working on this piece with some fantastic collaborators. Very happy it is now in the world. laurenredhead.bandcamp.com/album/curse-...
