This is a brilliant book which I often use to do warm up / icebreaker type thingys in some music meetings (when I used to do those).

Sam Fender’s gone and written me theme tune open.spotify.com/track/5kQrDt...

A sort of Wrapped for the pod. MUCH more coming in 2025, I hope!

The album was once under threat. Napster and iTunes unbundled it. Spotify shuffled it. But in the end, the album endured. The album reassembled. And the album is getting stronger. My Decanted pick of 12 albums for 2024. www.songsommelier.com/decanted-202...

One that came quite early in the year and so you feel like it was last year. No less brilliant whenever it was. Nadine continues a path to quiet legend. (@thequietus thanks for the reminder!).

A very considerate take! Thx

Nice to be in the company of @SwitchedOnPop @SongExploder and @nprmusic among other here. Thanks @rostr_cc Flattered! stack.rostr.cc/stacks/10-po...

Most kind Matthew and thanks again…Matthew! Look out for Moon Mirror in my ‘Decanted’ top 12 picks of 2024 (clue: it’s high up!). @nadasurf.bsky.social @nadasurftalk.bsky.social @nadasurfed.bsky.social

For my perspective on the changes coming around the corner in music, I've put down a 'manifesto' called Music's 3 Futures and you can download the (short) read in full here: www.songsommelier.com/musics-3-fut...

List time OMG. Frighteningly I know about 20 of these artists and I've heard about ten of the actual records. Can we bring the monoculture back PLEASE! This is my December xmas songs listening time gone then!

Now posting regular column The Art of Listening on how we listen to music. Or don't! It's an art is what I'm saying. The posts appear on the UK 'Featured Artists Coalition' website news feed. thefac.org/news-directo...

My latest guest on The Art of Longevity #podcast is the British singer-songwriter legend @davidgrayofficial.bsky.social. “Once you get attention and then lose it, how do you get it back? It’s a question I’ve been puzzling over for a long time”. www.songsommelier.com/art-of-longe...
