The AI voice on Coop self checkouts is the same as the one Vegyn used on the Headache album and it freaks me out every time. Feels very dystopian. GREAT record, though.

I have broken my rule on engaging in petty internet arguments because somebody with an "AI Creator" tag on IG said 'When A Good Man Cries' by CMAT is mid and generic. If any other moron tries to argue this, I will fight you. That song is incredible.

Yesterday I saw a reel where a guy poured a can of white monster into a glass with ice and added a shot of espresso. Ever since, I've endured a fierce inner battle between my intense desire to try it and my equally strong desire not to have a heart attack in my 30's.

Latest hyperfixation is 'Babies' by Pulp. Haven't listened to any other music for a couple of days. It's like rediscovering a distant, partial memory. Just a really wonderful song with lovely gear changes, all intoxicating ardour and wry smiles. Feels like a lost classic.

Imagine thinking you can park the bus against Argentina for half an hour. It's the complete inevitability of it for me. You just knew as soon as our shape became clear after the goal. It's not the loss itself, it's the manner of it - we didn't go down fighting. TT threw it away.

There should be a feature in Wordle that allows you save all the new 5 letter words you invent while trying to find the solution. You could then assign the words your own definition, or auction them off as names for apps, bands etc.

Spent ages looking for the perfect portable AC unit. (I know, should've done it in winter for a deal). Obvs the one we want is sold out everywhere. None of the sites have an option to sign up for a back-in-stock alert. This seems so dumb - why don't more places have this?

Before AI music, there was an entire country of Matrix style farms that housed enslaved producers. During their waking hours, they were tasked with making the most awful, unlistenable music possible. Thousands of years of garbage to fill non-stop, 24-7/365 gym music playlists.

My Arcady Bliss interview and live session for @BBCIntroYork is airing on @BBCYork tonight from 8pm with @JerichoKeys I'm really flattered. What a way to start the year! Thanks to all who made it happen. Tune in, tell a pal! Link in the post below to please the algorithm...

Life tip: A fun thing to do when looking for your keys is to sing and run at the tempo of Housequake by Prince. "House keys! Everybody jump up and down. House keys! There's a brand new groove goin' round." etc. You'll find them faster and everyone will think you're cool.

Whenever I think "I don't know who that is" I hear it in Brian Butterfield's voice. Likewise and from the same sketch, whenever I hear 'Xbox' my mind replies "It's better than a box!" Absolutely mental how this stuff can become part of you.

I never use the built in screen on the treadmill. Usually I watch YouTube on my phone or just listen to something and grind it out. First time today I decide to stick on C4. I'm there wheezing while Jamie Oliver puts a whole fucking garlic bread and butter stick in a blender 😭

Go well, Mani. What a player! Going mental to Waterfall at The Gallery in York on indie Wednesdays is a core memory. Likewise seeing Stone Roses at Finsbury Park when they reformed (PiL and Johnny Marr supporting, too. Unreal!) His basslines, his music will live forever. X

Listening to RHCP By The Way album for the first time in about 15 years. So much nonsense that if it came out today I'd completely dismiss it (mostly how I feel about Geese tbh, nothing to write home about beyond CW's voice) As it is I'm full of nostalgia. It just feels great.

I get really hung up about words. It's the cross I bear for being such a cool dude, I guess 😎 The latest one is 'talented'. Most of the time it could be replaced with 'skilled'. It wouldn't sound as nice, but it would recognise the work required to become good at anything.

My new song 'Madeline' is out at midnight tonight! Unless you're in NZ, Aus etc. in which case it's already out. Spotify numbers suggest it's already benefiting from coincidentally having the same name as a track on the Lily Allen record. Pre-save link in the following post.

My Instagram ads algorithm knows that I like plugins and expensive trainers I'll never buy. But did you know that I released a little video yesterday? Well, now you do. Also, I have an album out next month. Follow Arcady Bliss on Instagram please.

Arcady Bliss on Instagram: "Oak Tree is the opening song on the Arcady Bliss album. It's out on November 20th. I wrote this song when I was sick with covid for the first time after attending a Kiefer show at the Earth venue in Hackney (no regrets, he's the best). After a few days cooped up indoors I was desperate to get outside and I think that inspired the song. I was thinking of home during the writing process, so the only place to film the video was in the hills near the village where I grew up in North Yorkshire. Fortunately we were able to do it during the harvest, too - my favourite time of year. It was a really hot day and @thaisrenzi did an incredible job hiking there with me and filming on her iPhone - that's real love. There's lots more to come in the next few weeks, so please follow, like, share and sign up to the mailing list link in the bio to come along for the ride.

Going through a big Sgt. Pepper's phase at the moment. The older I get, the more I appreciate the songwriting, arrangement and sequencing. Not that I didn't before, it's just really hitting for me at the moment. It's also the first Beatles stereo mix that works. Sublime.

Wasn't really convinced by what I'd heard of the latest Wet Leg album earlier this year, but after watching their KEXP session yesterday it clicked - I'm in! Faves: Mangetout and Davina McCall.. Also, Dan Carey prod, Alan Moulder mix and Matt Colton master is a dream team ✨

Gf out for the day so it's been gym, brunch at home, York City FA cup win on the wireless and a new Creamery (made in Manchester 🐝) bridge pickup finally installed on the Tele. Absolutely phenomenal as Saturdays go, tbh. The only question now is chippy tea, chinese or curry?

Somebody please tell me where Taylor borrowed the "whoa oh oh oh oh" at the end of the Opalite chorus from. It sounds like another massive, older song, I just can't quite place it and it's driving me mad.

Just finished listening to a Richard Ashcroft interview and was reminded of his song 'Music Is Power'. A stone cold banger I'd long forgotten. The guy knows how to pick a sample. The Curtis Mayfield/Walter Jackson part is so great. It's on repeat here. open.qobuz.com/track...

Worth remembering that you can change the voice of your inner monologue to Wallace from Wallace and Gromit if you want. Mine mostly says, " Ee come on, lad!" a lot and brings up cheese several times an hour.

Listened to Is This It by The Strokes on my Yamaha NS10s. I've heard this album a hundred times, but on these it just sounds exactly as it should; it feels perfect. Can't yet find any info to confirm Gordon Raphael mixed it on NS10s, but I'd put money on it that he did.

It's a strange paradox that the best music tech people online make the most unlistenable music. Also, the best podcast on songwriting and songwriters has the most unpleasant theme tune.
