Seeing as things are a bit busier here now; hello, I’m Barry.
I write big riffs and yell under the name Oxygen Thief
I also write sad songs and sing nicely as Non Canon
I’ve made a playlist to introduce you to both projects, give it a whirl;

Quoting this in case it gets lost amongst the thread as it's super fucking fun.
81. Kyle Lewis Is A Boring Name - Big Dog's Biggest Dog
Incredibly fun theatrical prog punk. Just impossible not to smile to. It does the magical thing that Cheekface manage of being funny and sincere at the same time.

These are really great. Like "what if Johnny Foreigner listened to more Alkaline Trio and was a (mostly) solo acoustic act from the north".
77. Sarah Carey - We Are Not Binary / In 20 Years We Won't Be Sad EPs
Incredible songwriter friend who doesn't do anywhere near as much music these days as I selfishly would like.

Sarah Carey
DIY punk singer-songwriter from someplace in between Leeds and Bradford. Writing about themes ranging from gender identity, feminism, mental health and drinking too much buckfast. Sarah's style draws influence from both punk and folk music, combining self-deprecating lyrics and open-tuned riffs in equal measure.

Yeah that one is still terrible.

I think this was the last one I bought until private music.
20 years?!
Will I still cringe myself inside out at the "that's why British people have bad teeth" spoken word bit?

I love this so much it's annoying that you can only repost once without quoting.
This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

I think lots of people still don’t know they need to unfollow before they block because otherwise they’re still following.

I try to have/spread fun on here, but fuck this guy, the horse he rode in on, and the guy who sold him the horse
You’ve probably forgotten you’re following him because he’s been mercifully silent, but he’s trying to come back, so this may be a good time to unfollow (or just block him)

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

I found this via the recent @post-trash.bsky.social review. Good to see that being published now, despite the album being out last year.
More of that sort of thing please, rather than the "only brand new music is featured and then it's dead to us" attitude.

A new episode this morning. I would recommend starting at the beginning though because there's been a fair bit of plot now. But you could still easily catch up in a few hours. You won't be doing much with your Sunday. Unless you play for Fulham, for example, I guess.
This is ticking along nicely still, would love to have you on board. I don't feel bad promoting it because I'm comfortably making a loss on it. Trailer from @matryer.bsky.social once more.

I had a vegan tempeh burger for dinner tonight. It was delicious, but possibly the densest thing I’ve ever eaten. Feels like my insides may collapse into a singularity during the night.

68. David Bowie - 1. Outside (The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper Cycle)
I think this was the first Bowie album I owned/heard. Either cheap from a used records store (RIP Replay Records) or salvaged from a pile of stock that would’ve been binned when I worked at WH Smiths. An odd place to start.

Why is the guy from Arctic Monkeys doing a Bowie impression on their new song? Weird.
