I made plans but my body made other plans.

The distillation of my experience with chronic illness in Day In/Day Out.

Bedroom Indie by a chronically ill sad lad, shown here in the bedroom it was recorded in.

What if instead of the book and film Yes Man, you felt like you were always saying no? Well that’s me, the No Man.

Touching on chronic illness, disability and depression, No Man is my letter to friends and family on my absence and isolation.

EP is free to download on Bandcamp

And not one of them says Ban Summer(s), which is very rude tbh

Ending the day with this, perfect.

Written by Elvis Costello, performed amazingly by Robert Wyatt, probably the first performance of a song that brought tears to my eyes!

For years, the public has called them "fake artists." But internally at Spotify, the program has a name: Perfect Fit Content. My investigation, and the first look into my book Mood Machine, is the January cover at @harpers.bsky.social. Online now & on newsstands next week

With the Oasis reunion and football fans bemoaning their team playing out from the back, I’m surprised I haven’t heard “stop trying to pass out” to the tune of “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” yet

Just imagine: “stop trying to passsss ouuuutttttt”

In 2020, I wrote an album about the #BlackLivesMatter protests and my thoughts around it and all of its complexities named No Ordinary Summer. Give it a listen?

I was in a group answering questions in a uni class. We couldn’t remember Quincy Jones’ name for some reason and then one person goes “Clancy James!”

And I go “that’s the one”, thinking we’ve got it
Currently crying laughing at the fact that my gf just called James Gandolfini “Gandalf Mancini” thinking that was his actual name. I’m losing it.
