Not only have I been botted, it's by the shittest bot on the planet.
A few hundred plays over a week - what the feck is the point in that.
In the meantime my actual listener numbers are tanking.

Is it Bandcamp Friday? If only there was some way to tell if it was Bandcamp Friday...

Yes actually, yes it does.
A card included in a book delivery reads: Hoxton Mini Press. Thank you for ordering direct. We've planted at least one tree for this order. We hope this nice wrapping and little card makes up for the fact it wasn't delivered by a drone within 30 minutes from a warehouse run by robots. Ann and Martin. www.hoxtonminipress.com

From Mike Barfield in the latest @privateeyenews.bsky.social
A cartoon expands on the Trump / Taco theme with panels labelled: Nacho - Narcissistic attitude causes hateful outbursts; Chorizo - Can't hold onto rational ideas, zones out; Frittata - Frequently raises international tariffs then alters terms afterwards; Fajita - Fascist-adjacent jerk idolising tyrants abroad; Queso - Quite unlikely epidermal shade (orange)

Yep, it's something I'm going to have to think about if / when I do more of this. Along with some better transport cases. There's a lot of stuff to shift...

Well it was inevitable on this platform as well I guess:
A user called Casey child's has sent a DM allegedly asking to turn something from my page into an artwork for a client. It's scam that has appeared on many previous sites.

I was thinking that it might be nice to have a bit of a logo for people who want to highlight the fact that no AI was used in something's creation.
So I made these, please help yourself.
(Now with added hyphen!)
A cattle-brand-style logo reads "Guaranteed 100% human-made." A cattle-brand-style logo reads "Guaranteed 100% human-made."

New album beginning to shape up. Some brand new stuff and some things that have been waiting a few years to find a home.

A notebook page has a list of song titles for an album titled The Bit Before Dying, on the right hand side is a grid showing progress on the tracks.

A spoof of a meme. A black and white picture shows Trump being visually distracted by Vladimir Putin in a dress whilst he holds hands with an upset Adolf Hitler.

In case anyone was wondering about the current strength of international feeling:
A screenshot from threads, where user Phipps_graham writes: You know what? Right now if England played USA at football (soccer if you must), I think Scots would cheer on England. You need to understand just how much of a statement / turnaround that is. I suspect the Irish might just switch off.
