If AI could bring back bins to railway stations I might reconsider my position on its utility.

I'm playing a couple of local shows in Feb and March. Not sure if there's a big contingent of Fife based weird folk appreciators on Bluesky but I'll take my chances!

there are about 10 poems that I carry around with me all the time and this is one of them. not an overstatement to say it changed my life
What Work Is BY PHILIP LEVINE We stand in the rain in a long line waiting at Ford Highland Park. For work. You know what work is—if you're old enough to read this you know what work is, although you may not do it. Forget you. This is about waiting, shifting from one foot to another. Feeling the light rain falling like mist into your hair, blurring your vision until you think you see your own brother ahead of you, maybe ten places. You rub your glasses with your fingers, and of course it's someone else's brother, narrower across the shoulders than yours but with the same sad slouch, the grin that does not hide the stubbornness, the sad refusal to give in to rain, to the hours of wasted waiting, to the knowledge that somewhere ahead a man is waiting who will say, "No, we're not hiring today," for any reason he wants. You love your brother, now suddenly you can hardly stand the love flooding you for your brother, who's not beside you or behind or ahead because he's home trying to sleep off a miserable night shift at Cadillac so he can get up before noon to study his German. Works eight hours a night so he can sing Wagner, the opera you hate most, the worst music ever invented. How long has it been since you told him you loved him, held his wide shoulders, opened your eyes wide and said those words, and maybe kissed his cheek? You've never done something so simple, so obvious, not because you're too young or too dumb, not because you're jealous or even mean or incapable of crying in the presence of another man, no, just because you don't know what work is.

Paul Westerberg turns 65 today, which is a miracle worth celebrating. Thank you for inventing an archetype adopted by me and countless other Midwesterners at some point in their lives between the ages of 18 and 27.

This, right here, is why our ability to think critically is trending to zero. We’re either slack-jawed and drooling over the content of the rich and famous, or we’re buttering our brains with the viral attempts of try-hard would-be celebrities.

Want to Make It as a Creator? Be Famous, Go Viral or Go Fuck Yourself.
Here’s the brutal truth about mainstream success: You either need to be famous already, or you need to be willing to light yourself on fire for attention. That’s it. Those are your options. Yes, ther...

Check out Alec's film featuring a tune by me. Hoping to get a minute to myself again soon (parenting) so I can take it in. 🤞

Thanks to everyone who helped me make this short film.

It's now streaming on Youtube for free, if you fancy it.

I'm slightly feverish and listening to the new Cindy Lee album. A recommended combo. Pretty sure I'm going to wake up soon as a housewife in 1950's Arizona and this has all been a strange dream.

Any recommendations for slowcore/ doomgaze like Cloakroom? I love them but struggling to find other similar bands that are heavy but also have songs.

One of the reasons America is better at rock n roll than the UK is this. Basements.

I don't know if there's a band more universally reviled by gen x and lauded by millennials than counting crows
