A non-musician friend thought I'd gone to a fancy dress Halloween party. The evidence? The 'costume' I posted on social media ⬇️
Is this what non-musicians think we look like?

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

This looks like it'll be an interesting read. Released Feb '26: How the Album Outplayed the Algorithm and Survived Playlist Culture.

SO many straight men have ‘befriended’ me on Stand in Pride recently (it matches LGBTQ+ people with stand-in family for support). Their determination to make every thing about ‘conquests’ & infiltrating queer space is genuinely as remarkable as it is exhausting.

RIP Jack DeJohnette. I think we can call that a life well lived - what a contribution to music.
I have to post this concert as I was there... & so it has a special place in my heart.

What do you mean I have to sit in the dark for three months & January is one of them? Make it make sense.
Without sounding like a ‘why isn’t there an international men’s day’ reply guy: why can’t the clocks go forward?
With bad news all at once, all the time, how much harm would this’ve done? Can we not have just one nice thing? Or must we be as inseparable from misery as Oasis & a pentatonic scale?
