I'm just trying to do music, mate. Alt rock type stuff mostly, but then I take loops of my songs and make them into hip-hop tracks to rap over as Dig Xaz.

I am also in VIBE and The Madonna and the Whore.

From Rotherham, S Yorks. Live in MCR.

My new video for "Timewastin'" is now live. Go check it out and see if you can figure out what the source material for it is.

ladies, does it seem weird that men's underpants often have a hole in the front for them to stick their wangs through?

Keeping with the practice of going quiet for a bit, then releasing loads of stuff all at once...

I'll be releasing a video of my last single, "Timewastin'" in a day or two.

See if you can identify the source material.

Great news, I've checked the master of the final track from my Dig Xaz hip-hop ep, "You Dig?" in the car, and it passes muster.

A few more jobs and you'll be able to hear it.

The kids keep playing Christmas music.

It's not even the real thing.

no booze left in the house. It's a far cry from when I had all the spirits and liqueurs and used to take my friends on a... spiritual journey... when they came round.

Mastering "Austerity", the final track of my "You Dig?" ep.

Can't hear any fuckin difference when I adjust the transient vitualizer on this Quadracom VST, so I'll just leave em all in the middle.

My new single "Timewastin'" is available on your streaming service of choice today (not Spotify). Look me (and it) up at your leisure.

"Timewastin'" is a relentless progressive rock workout that features a vocal round. Go.

Here's an Apple link for starters:

just watched the Scotland v Denmark highlights. Happy for Scotland like, but was that not a dive by John McGinn to get the Danish lad sent off?

My Madonna and the Whore collaboration has a new song on Soundcloud today. This is "Thieves", a sort of hybrid of funk, punk and Balkan folk, and it's about the destruction of Yugoslavia.

A highly cerebral rumination on the destruction of Yugoslavia.

So what streaming services do people use now?

I've removed my music from spotify so I need to know which links are useful for me to share.

Asking for everyone actually.

do you ever search videos on archive.org? No matter what I search for, most of the results are "Funny or Die" videos.

Whoever they were, they were certainly busy when they were alive.

Genuinely, this is the 1st time I've thought of collapsing my groups right down on Reaper.

Are there still people who haven't had enough o't'minions?

Why are songwriters so obsessed with "getting away"? Getting away from what? It's so vague. And lazy.

And "finding" their "way" an'all.

It's such an abstract concept that really means nothing but sounds like it means a lot. IMO.

ai music really shouldn't even be allowed in the charts.

It's like allowing a robot into the Olympics.

There's not even any point in listening to ai music. It's not real. It's like not being able to have a baby, so you get a robot one instead.

It's just not the same.

We've signed off on my master of the latest Madonna and The Whore track, which will be called "Thieves". Iwan will just make the video and I'll get on with other stuff.

Watch this space.

In the meantime, here's a playlist of our previous releases

starting a new song is one of my favourite things, but sometimes it is like, "here we go again..."

Especially when I'm starting with ideas that are as half-baked as they can be.

But it's never long before I'm being swept along.
November 13, 2025 at 9:03 PM
didn't feel like singing today, so I listened to one of the tracks I needed to work on, and that gave me the necessary kick up the arse.
November 13, 2025 at 1:49 PM
question: can you warm up your voice silently? By stretching the muscles you use to sing, but not running any air through them?

My wife is showing me Real Lives of Mormon Wives, or some shit (love the rhyme).

She says they aren't multiple wives... so what's the point?

It's like a documentary about lions but they don't fuck and kill stuff.

y'know, when I make big changes to a project, I always save a new version and keep the old one in case I want to go back.

I never go back. It's always forward.
