Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Electric Brixton and Royal Albert Hall

Ugly - Village Underground

Alan Sparhawk - Horseshoe Tavern

Beth Gibbons - Massey Hall

Tropical Fuck Storm - Lee's Palace

Technically six. 2025 has been big for me.
Top 5 is hard after hundred and hundreds of gigs over the decades, but I won't be held accountable so let's go:

1. Portishead - Heineken music hall Amsterdam. Glorious

2. Nine Inch Nails - Brixton Academy (with VIP backstage shenanigans).

3. Bruce Springsteen - Olympiastadion Berlin
Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen.

Tough to pick 5, I’ll go with some of the most impactful 🤘

Mew
Mars Volta (4/5 times??)
AFI & The Offspring (that was 1 show ok)
Sikth
System of a Down

GUYS! I need your help. If we get to 100 followers by tomorrow my manager said I can leave early for the day.

If a sim game with a cozy-punk narrative about running a struggling record store your thing drop us a follow and a repost 🙏

We can't wait to bring Wax Heads to you all in early 2026!

here's a snippet of one of the last songs i've made for Wax Heads!!!

it's about something i'm super passionate about -- music not having to be ✨perfect✨ and being a thing of joy and expression and bringing people together

so i hope you enjoy my perfectly imperfect rendition 😌

At this point we probably need to start seeing screenshots of emails if this is to remain a story in the public eye.

As it stands, I'm inclined to believe Santa Ragoine about how vague and unhelpful Valve's communications were, especially if they're written anything like this statement.

My controversial take is that if you didn't get credited on a game you have proof you've worked on, just list it on your CV.

I do with one. Never had any issues.

Not being credited still sucks but you don't need to be polite when they're not.

There is no evidence that I was at AdventureX for some reason but I PROMISE I WAS THERE and also that I had a GREAT time.

Probably my favourite games conference.

The absolute privledge I've had working with such talented people on Wax Heads (@RothioTome as my better half in Patattie Games ofc)

but this particular scene stopped me in my tracks, just sat listening to the mesmerising music by @ginaloughlin.com and beautiful art by @mattjohnss.bsky.social ❤️🥲

I watch this live recording of Maria 63 like twice a week. I love it so much.

It's a song about a Nazi hunter tracking down and killing Maria Orsic, a witch who only exists in neo-Nazi conspiracies, who is said to have given Hitler the secrets to space travel.

I'd like for us to stop talking about The Keighleys as if it is any kind of official GOTY ceremony. It's one of several bad ones and it's not even the best of the bad ones.

Me now: Eusexua is now the second best album of the year.
