I spent an enjoyable time with @mattmuir.bsky.social today. We spent a few hours wandering round Brompton Cemetery. We found the best name: Trinidad Remorino. www.findagrave.com/memorial/214...

Today I somehow mostly dodged the rain, had coffee with @bezza.bsky.social, received confirmation that @pollypaulusma.bsky.social’s new album has shipped, and walked eight miles. Oh, and did some work. Now packing things for other people and being a little bit grumpy about CN22 forms.

“He’s been compared to a number of other artists – on the album under review he is not unlike Dylan, but the most comparisons have been Johnny Cash and Ryan Adams or early Steve Earle. He’s also not unlike Arlo McKinley.” Thanks @americanauk.bsky.social! americana-uk.com/reissue-step...

Stumbled upon to this. Only heard the preorder tracks but Odd Energy is excellent. Like The Smile without the Yorke vocal. Anyway, Echolalia are from Nashville and I like them: echolaliaband.bandcamp.com/album/echola...

That thing where you realise what you want to do makes stuff too expensive to buy (retail) but you’re all in now 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😂🙈

Toronto-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Saya Gray released a pair of excellent EPs over the last two years. I’m excited to see her debut full-length album. SAYA shows the Artist’s many influences, from House Music to Country. Gray’s voice is ethereal. sayagray.bandcamp.com/album/saya

Just stuffed a James Varda test pressing into a Stephen Simmons sleeve with three Golden Shoulders inserts and the fabric sample for The Experimental Pop Band. Life is strange sometimes. But it helps me learn that a standard LP sleeve will be just fine.

Currently playing the first Unspun Heroes #vinyl release, James Varda's Chance And Time. I remember the boxes being delivered this time last year (so many!) and it's an album I return to often. The kind of music AI will never ever replicate: unspunheroes.bandcamp.com/album/chance...

Great, as ever. Tim’s disdain for a certain RSD release made me spit my tea. Also lovely to hear @justplayed.bsky.social repeat the super nice things he wrote for @clashmusic.com about alt-country beauty, Drink Ring Jesus by @stephensimmons.bsky.social, which is my latest release.

Noticed the message comes up on Apple Music whenever I type in a word that signals harm of some sort.

Off to Peckham for the day. Meeting some friends, also meeting someone with a music app thing that looks super interesting, and might doorstop someone about their music as I'd love to release it.

Soundtracking my morning's work - amadoumariam.bandcamp.com/album/welcom... I like to listen to non-English tracks when I've got writing to do, as I don't find the need to sing along.

Been a bit quiet due to work, things taking longer on the next release, shipping albums on behalf of someone else, and just it being a bit February.

Like many in London, I've had no internet for a few hours. So now I'm listening to this 2021 Knomad Spock album, Winter of Discontent because it's back on and I can: knomadspock.bandcamp.com/album/winter...

I’ll be honest, I could always do with more sales if buying vinyl is your thing. They’ll never be re-pressed (by me) so you’ll get something wonderful and limited. unspunheroes.bandcamp.com

Top of my list of covers that meet the original, and may be said to exceed it, is this Robyn Hitchcock version of the classic 'Furs track. Reckon this would make my desert island disc selection: youtu.be/52DUrv1gCUw?...

Slowly teaching Apple Music not to play crap. Seems to be getting better. Still can't work out why I can't favourite songs from my phone without syncing 50GB of music to it, but there we go.
