Was music culture better pre-internet? That's the question we're asking this week over on the Lights and Lines Tik Tok. I'm first up to tackle it... By all means wade in here: vm.tiktok.com/ZNdJMrE8r/

I'm working on a new album, which I'm given to understand is somehow not exciting in and of itself to the general population. But me? I'm fucking loving it!

I wish I could tell the moon how much I like it

"You will not hold your tongue; you need more than simple survival" I wrote this in 2022, but it seems more apt than ever now: open.spotify.com/track/0LuaTH...

“Of Rich Men & Oligarchs” A 90 minute show in three sections, separated by instrument demos. At least 7 different instruments. 5 brand new songs from “A Proliferation of Pointlessness”, songs from an extensive back catalogue, and 3 cover songs - two never performed live before - amid the eighteen.

There's a reality somewhere where, instead of going into politics, all these horrible assholes went into musical theatre instead. Still a terrifying place though, I imagine. Just for different reasons

Morgen. I just stumbled upon this indie music site. You should go take a look, #Musicians and fans alike!

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

My album "Explore" has been out a month. CDs of this beauty are still available on my Bandcamp... Once they are gone I won't be printing any more! Stream: lynkify.in/album/explor... Buy Digital/CD: michiemusic.bandcamp.com/album/explore

Good morning to you all, except those actively working to make the world worse - you can all get catapulted at the moon

This week on the Lights and Lines Tik Tok we're talking about a ridiculously huge topic - mental health in music. I've got the ball rolling today, talking about the comparison trap. Feel free to chime in: vm.tiktok.com/ZNd1x2xwQ/

For any fans of spontaneous onstage jams out there - here's a little bit of live footage captured from Saturday night's gig in Plymouth. Bill (on bass) & I look pretty serious here, but we're having a total blast!

In just one month my next album, #MadeInChinaAlbum, is releasing on @bandcamp.com exclusively! If you’ve been enjoying the singles, why not preorder to get all 6 now, and the full album on March 17! mikeyjmusic.bandcamp.com/album/made-i...

I don't know if anyone on here cares, but the new Captain America movie is solid & entertaining. I had a good time with it & so did my young son. Mackie is great. If you're a Marvel fan, you'll enjoy it!

Over on the Lights and Lines Tik Tok, @mike1infive.bsky.social weighs in on the best ways to lose money as a musician, and offers a brief label update too: vm.tiktok.com/ZNd1Sf2qL/

Tonight we're back to 1 of the best intimate live venues in #Plymouth - The B-Bar - for some high energy, acoustic fun. Expect Bill Birks laying down some of the greatest bass you've ever heard, Kay Scoble bringing ALL the soul on backing vox, and me basically coasting off the back of their talents!

Current mental sitch 🤷‍♂️

Right, barring a few tiny tweaks, I think my Omand Original website revamp is DONE! Go have a look and see what you think... I'll link to the new "About" page below so you can see what some of the new menu options are... er... about. www.omandoriginal.com/p/about-oman...

Morning. Friday. About time!

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

This week on the Lights and Lines Tik Tok we're talking about the best ways to waste money as a musician. @grim17.bsky.social has thoughts... vm.tiktok.com/ZNd1YYKBG/

Good morning. I spent last night rehearsing with the band for this gig - felt great. Today? Yeah. I'm not a morning person... How YOU doing?

Well, it finally happened: one of my songs ended up getting played on national UK television! In the bizarre way these things can happen, some of 'Gambler's Last Day' was heard on 'Come Dine With Me' last night, after my best mate's band appeared & played it as entertainment for the contestants.

This week over on the Lights and Lines Tik Tok we're talking about a topic close to a lot of our hearts: 'Best ways to lose money as a musician'. I barely scratch the surface here: vm.tiktok.com/ZGdUCo3fw/

This week is going to be brilliant, because my best mate is on the #Plymouth edition of 'Come Dine With Me' all week long. Will it be me making the memes? Maybe!

My advice? Turn the guitar up louder.

Some Sunday vibes for you. As time's gone on, I think I favour the acoustic version of this song. It's all about looking for ways out of bad situations: gozergoodspeed.bandcamp.com/track/escape...

Most things I do anger someone so it might as well be them this week…
