There’s a comment that the original Simpsons series were written by a group of eclectic nerds who immersed themselves in counterculture and unusual, off-the-wall, media. The newer series are written by… people who grew up watching The Simpsons.

Looking for new artists on Lights And Lines. Who's got a cool demo I should be checking out?

On the eve of a big birthday I’m drinking whiskey and listening to The Levellers. Might as well grow old disgracefully!

Not very one appreciates my whimsy…

🎸🤘 Mike Five 🤘🎸 @mike1infive.bsky.social · Sep 10

Alphabetically first, then each album by that artist is sorted chronologically.

I don’t really get why we use surname for a solo artist, it’s not consistent with using first letter of first word for bands / groups. Maybe I’m secretly Japanese?

Plus my Iron Maiden albums are out of order because I bought a lot of them in a box set where the spine artwork makes a picture - and for some reason (it’s probably unofficial) they’re not at all in the right order!

🎸🤘 Mike Five 🤘🎸 @mike1infive.bsky.social · Sep 10

The John Mellencamp one is a conundrum for sure! I also try to order chronologically by artist but I have to make some small sacrifices. Neil Young albums are in year order, but I don’t count “and crazy horse” or whoever else as separate…

You could say it’s untidy…

🎸🤘 Mike Five 🤘🎸 @mike1infive.bsky.social · Sep 10

Nope!

🎸🤘 Mike Five 🤘🎸 @mike1infive.bsky.social · Sep 10

Oh you… ok artist name!

I don’t own any but that would go under The…

🎸🤘 Mike Five 🤘🎸 @mike1infive.bsky.social · Sep 10

I organise my CDs by first name.

Bob Dylan is under B
Neil Young is under N

With the exception of artists that start with ‘The’ (which I ignore and file under the letter of the next word) I have achieved alphabetical purity.

Isn’t sorting by surnames just a throw back to a more formal era?

I may have gone mad.

For this #BandcampFriday we’ve put the price of every single digital download on our Bandcamp down to £0.

Bearing in mind I run a record label. That's a LOT of free music.

It’s technically a pay what you want deal so..

I run a small independent record label and I’m looking to connect with songwriters, artists, bands, and anyone working around the independent music scene.

If you make music, help others release it, or just love it, let’s chat.

What are you working on right now?

So I saw @mike1infive.bsky.social last night for a few beers here in deepest Devon, and like some kind of merch wizard he magicked up some unexpected Gozer Goodspeed badges for me & a LAL mug too! Don't ever let anyone tell you that being signed to an independent label doesn't have its perks! 😄

If you owned a pub what would you call it?

I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m starting to think that Dr. Pepper may actually have some sort of secret medical benefit…
