People often ask me where I get my crazy ideas from and this short video will tell you the two direct influences for my new single “But I’m Getting Used To It” taken from my forthcoming album “The One True Prince Of Wales (in exile after abdication)” which is out on April 3rd. Link in bio.

It’s been 10 years since I last played the Winter Sprinter after which Sean Price feld to Japan to escape his debtors.

In that decade I’ve put out two solo albums and two @thisistheloves.bsky.social compilations but have not been asked to play.

Strange.

Song for the day: The Loves - December Boy

This video stars @simonloverules.bsky.social's pal Kaufman, who is quite the dreamboat. I absolutely did not have a huge, filthy crush on him. Nosirree, not at all, nuh uh, no way. Nope.

Its neat the way the Japanese authors assume their readers are familiar with the music of Simon Love enough to have expectations of a Christmas song.
That alone is playful enough to make this a delightful 7" single. The song is, as you'd expect from Simon Love, a sparkling Christmas pop song with a 60s girl pop vibe. It's one of my favorites on the Fortuna Pop! label. (Ueda)

Facebook Memories has reminded me of this Jonathan Richman cover @thisistheloves.bsky.social did in 2009 for a covers album called “Baby You’re A Richman” that never came out.
