Being a creative in the UK since the pandemic/Brexit/austerity/austerity 2.0/inflation has felt a bit like, one by one, someone's turning off the floodlights.
& yet, my greatest source of joy has been in continuing.

Oh wow, that's an incredible jump. Also: your false spring can easily be a complete summer here.
Enough of this already. It’s been months.
London's looking mighty fine for gigs this spring! I humbly recommend:
13/3, Fofoulah @ Grow, Hackney
fofoulah.bandcamp.com
14/4, Let Spin (my favourite band)

& 11/5, (my new fascination!) Angine de Poitrine @ Scala

The correct consensus position is to put wildlife on bank notes, and then prestigious historical figures on wildlife.
Steinway piano made from Paduak wood but it looks like a slab of meat ok
if anyone wants to get me the Epic Bacon Piano I am not too proud to accept it
New Taupe album!

Yes please, former university, please arrange my will for me - there's no one better for this job.
Do it in a way where I forget this is you, in effect, trying to defer arranging your own.
Love the attention to detail with the design too. Did your four-year-old do it?

i think i posted this before but my favorite eval comment ever is also "your class helped me understand my dad better"
Ugh. #jazzsky
I used to hear the older kids playing this & grew into it.
Hearing songs like this, ‘Yes Anastasia’ & ‘Hello Earth’ was really the start of my obsession with/PhD in song structure & semantics
… & still the one thing I’ll love thinking about forever.

Yes please.
Call me Queen Coincidence.
I lost a specific edition of a book I loved. A friend suggested EBay. Only one was available on the whole internet - on EBay. Why did it arrive with this on it though? I’d bought it off someone I lost touch with… who now lives around the corner.

What a hero! Yes, you can tell even from the title that you're gonna hurt in a wordy, yearning way.
Oh nice! Coincidentally, I have a draft of something called 'Letters of Hope' which I hope (!) to put out one day.
Oh wow. This is quite a find. Thank you so much! What a mix of styles & influences. Also so inspiring that he… doesn’t seem to be on social media…?
Of course! Glad a sliver of hope was shared; it’s amazing humans can do that. Likewise, sending my best to our brothers over there!
It’ll be the most joyful & organised fight back 🤓
No thank you!! People’s interest means the music lives on even if it’s not streaming. & that’s so precious.
They are like babies, I get really sad when I can’t save them. The original plant lives on there though!
Aaah I'm so touched! That album is one of three (the last track is the one that gets me the most - it’s so happy but they knew it was all ending 😭). Special music from a special probably-never-again moment in London/UK music.
Awesome! That means you're gonna have to join the resistance & buy them on CD/vinyl/tape!
Ha! It's like the Googlewhack of music.
Oh well done! That's no mean feat 🌱
I really hope so... we seem to be inching towards it... The Erasmus Scheme was reinstated, there's been a bit of political talk, a few petitions. Daily life the UK is very grim now, & although not completely because of it, some former Brexiteers are regretting it.
*Amazon link here as I obviously think everyone should buy this & it's .. .. .. s c a r c e .. .. ..
Anyone else still amazed when their favourite records aren't streamable? (I secretly love being niche 😇)
I still get so emotional listening to this; all that energy & joy knowing the Ronnie Scott's residency was their last performance.
