I've only JUST realised the Scrap Brain Zone music from Sonic 1 is a homage to the ending credits music from Blade Runner. youtu.be/NoVY7nvcel0?...

Anyone who thinks Ed Sheeren controls ANYTHING is totally naive about how those big pop performers are managed. If you support corpo pop, you get corpo values.

At this late hour of the superfluous culture war, The Proclaimers transparent attempt at marketing to their boomer audience is just a bit fucking lame.

Dear music folk - just be reliable. And if you can't do something, just tell the person relying on you as soon as you know. Nobody will kill you because you can't fulfil a commitment you previously thought you could. It seriously is such an unneccessary pain handling bullshit and false commitments.

In hindsight, buying a new production plugin midway through mixing an EP is probably a bad idea....

For me, the soundcloud era was the pinnacle of DiY music. I discovered some people I'm still acquainted with today. The stress of "break-even" and faux commercial success wasn't remotely a thing. It was just putting out music for enjoyment. Took me years to want to re-capture that model again.

One of the greatest joys of not making music, I imagine, must be the ability to just enjoy listening to really good music without wanting to go to your studio and make something like it.

If I were starting a new hauntology project referencing occult behaviour, I might be inclined to use imagery of people all sitting weirdly in silence in church-like environments listening to an album like it's some kind of sermon.

I had the pleasure of remixing a track by the amazing @exitchamber.bsky.social for his new EP I Have Lied To You The Best I Can. It’s a beautiful release with four new works of emotive, pensive ambient and four remixes of the track Please Hold On. #ambient #ambientsky #experimentalmusic

Obvious caveats around funding etc, but could be a big deal for Scottish arts - potentially a pull factor rUK as well.

I'm kind of glad I moved on from the BOC-adjacent style that I was into for a while. Would probably quit as all my music would be about to sound 2nd rate soon.
