Seeing as things are a bit busier here now; hello, I’m Barry.

I write big riffs and yell under the name Oxygen Thief

I also write sad songs and sing nicely as Non Canon

I’ve made a playlist to introduce you to both projects, give it a whirl;

£25 bebe, woo! Tbf, I have hardly played in the last 18 months so this is way better than I expected & every little bit helps towards the financial black hole of this new album & the noisy one I’m halfway through making.

Happy PRS day/complaining about PRS day to all who celebrate.

You know I said that being sincere into a camera isn’t my comfort zone?

Turns out spending slightly too long editing most of the fuck ups into a blooper reel is:

225. Mastodon - Crack The Skye

Continuing that Loudwire list. Good to get to one I already like, but haven’t listened to in ages.

Barry (Non Canon/Oxygen Thief) @dolanthology.bsky.social · 21h

224. Heavy Seas - By Degrees

Bought at a Her Head’s On Fire show on the strength of enjoying Jeff Dean’s playing in that band, and J Robbins playing bass/recording & mixing this one.

A vinyl record cover: title is Heave Seas, it has a photograph of two kids on swings by the sea.

Woo! Did Roddy look annoyed like he did when we did that at the Fleece a few years ago?

Yay! Happy birthday Christopher, hope you’ve all had an ace day :)

Put this paragraph on a T-shirt;

There's a lot to love about the internet's democratisation but we've also conjured the notion
that artists must develop a gamut of despicable business practices to break through the noise.
TikTok industry influencers bleat about posting constant content - 20 new videos a week, strategy decks, KPls. The power was meant to return to artists, but we've accidentally just made our artists business-speaking cunts. The sort of people we got into music to avoid. The horrors of the industry didn't go away, our artists grotesquely ingested them.

Absolutely relentless FOMO about Best Friends Forever fest, especially the J. Robbins Plays Burning Airlines set, fucking hell.

222. Cursive - The Ugly Organ

An all-time fave. Maybe joint top with The Holy Bible and The Artist In The Ambulance.

This feels like the kind of thing that every British school would’ve had their own variant of.

Ours was:

🎵With a little bit of this🎵
🎵And a little bit of that🎵
🎵And shake your arse🎵
🎵You dirty sod🎵

Everyone thinks their state is special in certain ways.

Pretty sure PA is the only state where not only has the Chicken Dance song been unofficially given lyrics (that it seems like everyone knows) but where it is also routinely played at weddings.
