Outside of my SEO life, I've always written, be it poetry or fiction, as well as online magazine writing/editing and ghostwriting in the professional sphere.

I've created a Substack to curate some recent work. Subscribe below if you're interested: substack.com/@owainlloydw...

Why is the BBC using this article with footballer Jonjo Shelvey as a conduit to promote his (sorry, Jonjo) vastly misinformed views that are just parroting of online far-right conspiracy theories over "London being finished" or "go to London and get mugged or stabbed"?

I've also done a write up of the album as well as a bit of history and context around the formulation of the sound and all its influences:

Today, I have released the fourth album of my solo music project.
The project "Morning in Akarmara" has been running for around 10 years, and is largely driven by shoegazing/dreampop sounds built around my fingerpicking guitar style.

I put out the fourth album (imaginatively titled "IV) of my solo shoegaze/ambient project, Morning in Akarmara, today.

You'll be able to find it across all the usual music streaming services shortly, though head on over to Bandcamp if you fancy a listen.

'If Autofiction dealt in the directness of photography, Antidepressants is – like Francis Bacon’s portraits – a no less truthful recreation of emotion and experience through distortion and dramatisation.'

#Suede - Antidepressants is a Quietus Album of the Month for September 2025

Popped into London to see this guy live last night. Kevin Kaarl, an indie/folk singer songwriter from Chihuahua, Mexico.

I first heard him on a taxi radio in Oaxaca, Mexico a few years ago.

Lovely to see London's Hispanic community sing along and hang off every word. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Wow, link spammers sharing Google Drive links with a list of link targets directly to my business email with aggressive messaging.

Not new I'm sure, but poor form...

I recently sat down with Elisabeth Mayr on her brilliant Freelance Blueprint podcast to discuss my background and journey into the SEO industry and how I've built my business as an independent SEO consultant.

Inevitable AI search chat too of course.....

Felt special getting a #Radiohead unlock code for tickets, but then realised shortly after that all my friends who entered did as well.

"London lives rent free in their heads as it's living proof of how completely wrong their politics is - they 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 to lie about it!"

As the far-right push a thinly veiled anti-immigrant narrative by branding London a "crime-ridden hellhole" - Jon and Lewis push back.

I may or may not have won this league a couple of years ago and it's definitely something I don't remind myself and others about on a regular basis.
