For me, the soundcloud era was the pinnacle of DiY music. I discovered some people I'm still acquainted with today. The stress of "break-even" and faux commercial success wasn't remotely a thing. It was just putting out music for enjoyment. Took me years to want to re-capture that model again.

Next up - Boy George endorses Vlad The Impaler.

I wonder how many modular synth artists have dogs named Patch...must be a fair few?

Bring back Starmer. All is forgiven. 😅😅

Full day of live music one week tomorrow. Will be interesting to see if anyone is still sober by the time I play.... www.seetickets.com/tour/cowgate...

For the officionados.

Vinyl copies of Solar Drift are running low at Touched Music. However - there are now some copies available for sale direct from my own Bandcamp. faexoptim.bandcamp.com/album/solar-...

This is happening in a few weeks. My set is prepped (incl a couple new tracks). www.seetickets.com/event/cowgat...

One of the greatest joys of not making music, I imagine, must be the ability to just enjoy listening to really good music without wanting to go to your studio and make something like it.

In honor of the whole US comedians cos-playing as political journalists thing, I quite like thinking of other big political interviews I'd like to have seen. Starter for 10: Bob Monkhouse v Mikhail Gorbachev

Major @vhshead.bsky.social vibes in some of the BOC album btw.

Early bird tickets have sold out. General sale still left. www.seetickets.com/event/cowgat...

Always kind of interesting and curious that people randomly make videos for old tracks of mine. youtu.be/Qf2KUl8qHwE?...

If I were starting a new hauntology project referencing occult behaviour, I might be inclined to use imagery of people all sitting weirdly in silence in church-like environments listening to an album like it's some kind of sermon.

That you finishing an ep? Must be me then.

Excited to play Cowgate Block Party in my home city. Will be a busy one so strongly recommend getting tickets eary: www.seetickets.com/event/cowgat...

Obvious caveats around funding etc, but could be a big deal for Scottish arts - potentially a pull factor rUK as well.

I'm kind of glad I moved on from the BOC-adjacent style that I was into for a while. Would probably quit as all my music would be about to sound 2nd rate soon.
