PeopleSound - Wikipedia

I remember receiving that cheque for Β£100 in the post for a track I submitted to Peoplesound (a weird little techno track called 'I Spit On Your Groove') and feeling like a bloody millionaire.

To this day it's still the most I've ever been paid for my own music.

Yon, by Le Morte d'Abby 9 track album

I don't think I've actively listened to anything ambient for a considerable number of years so I decided to pick something up from someone who has actively supported and shared my own work and posts for a long time.
And since it's Bandcamp Friday, even better.

Watching #TOTP tonight and Happy Mondays were just on. I said that Shaun Ryder & Bez are the Waldorf & Statler of our age demographic and now I'm realising just how entirely true that is.

Doomscrolling, by Manuskript 1 track album

I believe the appropriate term to be "well, feck my old boots, Nottingham based goth-botherers Manuskript have dropped new music".
preorder from Bandcamp immediately.

HOUDINI, by CODENAME : LOLA track by CODENAME : LOLA

Freshly dropped at the stroke of midnight in the UK, here is my new track 'HOUDINI'.

codenamelola.bandcamp.com/track/houdini

This piece is based around a recording from of a seance in which the participants were attempting to contact the spirit of legendary magician Harry Houdini.

Apparently this is the cost to the American taxpayers for allowing Trumpanzee to fling enough shit around in order to distract you from his s3x crimes.

Ya know what? If I don't put this out soon, I'm just going to end up inaudibly tweaking the mix forever, and NOBODY has time for that nonsense.

So I'm taking a stand and releasing my mid-tempo electronica track 'Houdini' on Bandcamp this Friday and I hope you like it.

The Fadeout Session 2026 #03 by BATBOY SLIM on hearthis.at | Indie, post punk, Gothic Rock, Electronic, darkwave, goth ro

The March edition of The Fadeout Session just dropped!

I had an INSANE amount of music to try to fit in this month, apologies to anyone I had to miss out this time. At this rate I'm probably going to need to make two mixes per month... 😬

I really wish I could remember what the politician's name was, but while discussing the bombings in Dubai yesterday on BBC News, she'd pronounced 'Emirates' like it was the name of a Greek god, and now I cannot f#cking hear it pronounced any other way in my head.

There is a large subsection of Gen X in the UK who to this day, still sing The Skids 'Into The Valley' using the lyrics from the Maxell advert. And I am one of them.

Starmer says Labour's by-election loss 'very disappointing' as Green Party leader hails 'seismic' win Hannah Spencer, a 34-year-old plumber, wins the Gorton and Denton by-election, with Reform coming in second and Labour in third.

It's almost as though he wasn't aware of his own party's despicable actions towards the Green party this week. I've seen air fryers be more self aware than the current prime minister.

Today I learned that Chas 'n' Dave played on Eminem's hit single 'My Name Is'.

They were session musicians on Labi Siffre's track 'I Got The...' which is the foundational sample upon which Eminem based his track.

I have no idea what to do with that knowledge.

Bandcamp AI ban: Artists report deleted catalogs Side-Line reports how Bandcamp’s new AI music ban and suspicion-based takedowns leave artists reporting deleted accounts, lost catalogs and false positives.

this is a pertinent article, though the irony of using AI to create the image above the article itself is both inescapable and rather funny, at least in my mind.
