Formal introduction (if'n you don't know by now)...
I'm Jules. I sing. I strum the guitar. I sometimes write things.
I also dig stand-up, space, art, animals, books, snooker and cycling.
I lost Gill, the yin to my yang, in 2019. This feed is dedicated to her.
Be kind, be real, or get out of my face.

Went to see Stewart Lee tonight. I asked him to join me for a drink afterwards, and he said yes. So that was a very worthwhile Tuesday night out. He's a lovely man.

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

In this instance John got there first, albeit briefly.

Despite having a more active social life these days, things are far from satisfactory. When I'm alone, like today, I struggle and often start fretting about every little thing. But too much company wears me out and makes me long to be alone. I can't win. I suppose I need a different kind of company.

1—Farmer in the City

It's about the brutal murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini, but you wouldn't need to know that to find this masterpiece affecting. Once heard, the haunting cattle-auction refrain never leaves you: Do I hear 21?

Go ahead it's a cinch
You pin me down
You'll feel the pinch

In 2023, Rhino issued a vinyl-only test pressing version of Todd Rundgren's Runt LP. It featured the songs Baby Let's Swing, The Last Thing You Said and Don't Tie My Hands in full (they were later edited into a medley). Two years on and I've still not heard these complete tracks. Can anyone help?

Musician types - if any of you can be arsed to work out what the chords are for this song, I'd appreciate it.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Over the past two days I have listened to 14 Lee Hazlewood albums on YouTube. It's been mostly an enormous pleasure.

This set includes perhaps the filthiest track I've ever dropped as a dj. Pure and absolute gutter.

But fucked if I can work out how to sing and play this...
"She knew I'd take her side
In everything she did
Even if it might be wrong
That's why she stayed so long
She doesn't know it yet
And I don't know how I'll tell her
That she doesn't need me
And what's more, I don't need her"
