@thebradcohan.bsky.social Hi Brad, do you still have an account over on X? BradCohan001? I think somebody may be impersonating you over there. Had a couple of DMs with this account and sent a Samply preview link for my album. It was then accessed somewhere in Nigeria. Please let me know (cont.)...

I get really hung up about words. It's the cross I bear for being such a cool dude, I guess 😎

The latest one is 'talented'. Most of the time it could be replaced with 'skilled'.

It wouldn't sound as nice, but it would recognise the work required to become good at anything.

@goldflakepaint.bsky.social Hi Tom, I tried to send an email to your three.six.five@onmail.com address yesterday but it seems to have bounced. Can I check with you that it's the correct address please?

New song out today called Madeline.

It's my favourite song I've ever written (so far)

Link to all streaming in the post below, to stop being de-boosted by stupid algos...

My new song 'Madeline' is out at midnight tonight!

Unless you're in NZ, Aus etc. in which case it's already out.

Spotify numbers suggest it's already benefiting from coincidentally having the same name as a track on the Lily Allen record.

Fun fact:

Track 5 on Lily Allen's new album is called Madeline.

Track 5 on my new album is also called Madeline.

My Instagram ads algorithm knows that I like plugins and expensive trainers I'll never buy.

But did you know that I released a little video yesterday?

Well, now you do.

Also, I have an album out next month.

Follow Arcady Bliss on Instagram please.
Arcady Bliss on Instagram: "Oak Tree is the opening song on the Arcady Bliss album. It's out on November 20th. I wrote this song when I was sick with covid for the first time after attending a Kiefer show at the Earth venue in Hackney (no regrets, he's the best). After a few days cooped up indoors I was desperate to get outside and I think that inspired the song. I was thinking of home during the writing process, so the only place to film the video was in the hills near the village where I grew up in North Yorkshire. Fortunately we were able to do it during the harvest, too - my favourite time of year. It was a really hot day and @thaisrenzi did an incredible job hiking there with me and filming on her iPhone - that's real love. There's lots more to come in the next few weeks, so please follow, like, share and sign up to the mailing list link in the bio to come along for the ride.

Going through a big Sgt. Pepper's phase at the moment.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the songwriting, arrangement and sequencing. Not that I didn't before, it's just really hitting for me at the moment.

It's also the first Beatles stereo mix that works. Sublime.

Wasn't really convinced by what I'd heard of the latest Wet Leg album earlier this year, but after watching their KEXP session yesterday it clicked - I'm in!

Faves: Mangetout and Davina McCall..

Also, Dan Carey prod, Alan Moulder mix and Matt Colton master is a dream team ✨

Gf out for the day so it's been gym, brunch at home, York City FA cup win on the wireless and a new Creamery (made in Manchester 🐝) bridge pickup finally installed on the Tele.

Absolutely phenomenal as Saturdays go, tbh.

The only question now is chippy tea, chinese or curry?

Somebody please tell me where Taylor borrowed the "whoa oh oh oh oh" at the end of the Opalite chorus from.

It sounds like another massive, older song, I just can't quite place it and it's driving me mad.

Just finished listening to a Richard Ashcroft interview and was reminded of his song 'Music Is Power'.

A stone cold banger I'd long forgotten.

The guy knows how to pick a sample. The Curtis Mayfield/Walter Jackson part is so great. It's on repeat here.

Worth remembering that you can change the voice of your inner monologue to Wallace from Wallace and Gromit if you want.

Mine mostly says, " Ee come on, lad!" a lot and brings up cheese several times an hour.

Listened to Is This It by The Strokes on my Yamaha NS10s.

I've heard this album a hundred times, but on these it just sounds exactly as it should; it feels perfect.

Can't yet find any info to confirm Gordon Raphael mixed it on NS10s, but I'd put money on it that he did.

Incredible what a 5-0 win can do for your mood.

It's a strange paradox that the best music tech people online make the most unlistenable music.

Also, the best podcast on songwriting and songwriters has the most unpleasant theme tune.

Just back from seeing the new documentary about The Coral.

Really artfully and tastefully done - I loved it. Go and see it if you get the chance.

Came out feeling inspired, head full of melodies.

Fully giving in to the social media nostalgia loop at the moment.

Listening to Travelling Without Moving by Jamiroquai after watching a reel on IG.

The first cool album I had on cassette as a kid and it still sounds transcendant.

It influenced me more than I realise.

Reached the stage of life where I want buy a can of a Lynx Africa just to smell the 90's again.

Radiohead tickets secured.
What a palaver.

Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 stalked me today.

This morning my gf mentioned it. I told her I had the CD single and loved it as a kid (I was 10 and it's catchy as fuck, what could I do?)

A couple of hours later, I found that CD in a box looking for something.

Now this on YT!

Great new pod from The Music Venue Trust presented by my pal, Toni!

When you think of it as a 'National Trust for music venues', particularly focused on grass roots, it really makes sense.
