How soon is too soon to start badgering the little influx of new followers, I've been blessed with, into inviting my cacophonous, melancholy warbles into their lives?

GRIM17

I’m GRIM17, like my sixteen forefathers before me. I thought I was hot shit a while back, with written accolades and TV/radio appearances. Those very early stages of a "career" seemed like a great tim...

Ah now, John, I'm not saying I'm too young to remember sweets that only cost a penny, but it's a distant fucking memory!

Hozier and the singer from Fontaines DC both lost Tom Waits as a big influence.
Did he influence them to avoid ANY possible comparison by working hard to produce bland, flavourless almost-music?

Ridiculousness is a decent summation of modern existence...

Cynical doesn't mean wrong...

Gruama @grim17again.bsky.social · 11h

I mean, I've been sober for nearly three years, and I have no plans to be anywhere near London in the near future, but...

I just got my first PRS payment in about a hundred and eighty thousand years.

Doctor Who is Rocky Horror for asexuals...

Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.

I do often wonder why these great and terrible "industry connections" never think of venturing outside London or Los Angeles or Paris etc...

I was just thinking about that, actually. If there truly was any cosmic justice there'd be a LOT more painful, terminal ball-cancer in a lot more white men in expensive suits...

Doesn't matter. I've agreed now, so it's legally binding!

Gruama @grim17again.bsky.social · 1d

Ooh, absolutely! I will clear my diary IMMEDIATELY!
