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;

I’m having a weekend away from Internet as am finding it A Bit Much at the moment.

Here’s a live version of a song from the new album. It’s about small talk and putting up a front and adverts and the clocks changing:

“Cheapskate degenerates”, I think, passing the people stood outside the cricket ground with glasses of wine ready to watch the firework display for free…as I hurry past them to do exactly the same thing.

IT ARRIVED.

My third Non Canon record, pictured with the original paintings that I’ll be passing onto their new home soon.

Really chuffed with how it came out, thanks to @artisangossip.bsky.social’s design skills.

FYI if you're in the UK it's not just "adult content" that you'd expect to be blocked for you, but a few other labels that you absolutely cannot trust a tech brained US company's automation to handle properly.

The "Sensitive" one, are you fucking kidding me?

Oh, as well as the moderation settings there's also a bunch of filters here that I had no idea were set automatically, including one that hides "rude" words.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner
