I may be biased, but it seems like pre-ordering my novel/CD or ebook/DL would be a very good use of your #BandcampFriday spending money this week. brokendownrecords.bandcamp.com/merch/nothin...

For reasons that continue to elude me, this site has a lower character count than a postcard. Please enjoy this shitpost as it was intended ... with melty and smutty goodness that cannot be contained in 300 stingy characters.

Hot singles in your area

Cheesy melty goodness in individual wrappers

Ready to be unwrapped

And placed between two slices of buttered bread

And grilled until good

Maybe dipped in creamy tomato soup

What you do with your hot singles that have been grilled into cheese

Is nobody's business but yours

With Dummy beating off some stuff competition to make my #5debutalbumsFINAL this is a timely Toppermost on Portishead. Can’t argue with the 10 songs picked, mine would be very similar. There’s a playlist within the website article if you want to listen along.

NEW post: "Cowboys opens the 2nd album. The record is tougher and darker. It's gritty enough that you could fill a truck with it and keep the roads safe - a signal they could move away from their smoother side demonstrated on 'Dummy'.” 10 top #Portishead tracks www.toppermost.co.uk/portishead/

Thank you everyone who used BandCamp to buy my two most recent musical releases (Goodnight Sunshine in August and Love Songs From The North vol 2 last September). There are both now available on Spotify and other digital platforms, but the BandCamp support is invaluable, and always first!

Ropery Stairs in North Shields, Aug 2026. Over 100 steps from Bell Street to Tyne Street. As undoubtedly climbed by my great great grandfather and his sister daily in the 1870s, and by Esther and Billy in ‘Nothing Much’ in the 1990s. brokendownrecords.bandcamp.com/merch/nothin...

Dreamt last night I had a fairly good idea at work. Everyone else’s ideas went down much better, though, and all involved dogs. I don’t understand dogs. How come my idea didn’t get picked up? I will be asking my boss today.

Btw, forgot to tell people I’ve changed Avatar. Some people scroll and look at posts by familiar avatars, and it’s courtesy to let it be known, I guess. So aye, it’s me: John Hartley/Johny Nocash

'Nothing Much' is a story about friendship, and a story about love. It is a story set in the 1990s, with its roots in the 1870s; a story about families, about relationships, about teenagers. It is a story about North Shields. It is not a story of life and death; just a story about life.

Hit me with the first line of your novel, published/finished or not “Evening.” Billy stuffed a digestive biscuit into his mouth, whole, spilling crumbs down the front of his t-shirt, then dusted the debris of foliage off the top of the wall before sitting down. ‘Nothing Much’. Coming soon…
