Now you can post video's on this thing I thought I'd post a clip of me & my twin brother playing a complicated two part guitar piece I wrote a few years ago.
Could this be classed as harassment? 😂

I like how a computer can measure how long it is since you last saved a file so that it can choose the optimum moment to crash & lose you as much work as possible. 😩

There's now 2 ways you can produce professional sounding music without putting in years of practice & hard work:
1. Enter prompts into an AI song generator.
2. Sell your soul to the devil at the crossroads.
Both pretty much amount to the same thing.

I don't know why that song's called "Relax". Most of those activities he's describing don't sound very relaxing at all!
When I'm relaxing, I'd much rather have a nice cup of tea & a digestive than being laser beamed.

I watched a Top of the Pops Christmas special from 1984 &, while performing "Relax", Holly Johnson appears to be wanking off the mic stand. How did they get away with stuff like that back then! Many people would have been watching that with their families, eating turkey & pigs-in-blankets 😲

I just released my first ever non-album single! This is only because the bastards deleted my album for unsolicited "bot-plays" so I'm just going to re-release a few of the tracks separately.

I made the artwork for my latest release over 20 years ago (when I wrote the song). At work (when no one was looking) I made a 3D model of some basement shelves, then added glass jars, human brains & hearts, and finally rendered it in lurid colours.

A lot of musicians seem to use AI generated artwork for their releases, some of whom probably wouldn't dream of using AI for their music.
I suppose it's no different from a graphic artist using AI generated music for a reel showing their artwork 🤔

Spotify & my distributor Routenote deleted my last album for unsolicited "bot plays", so I've changed distributor & will release a few tracks individually.
Here's a link to the first, in case anyone feels generous enough to give me a pre-save.

I just wrote to the council complaining about the constant roadworks & closures around Canterbury. It felt good! I've decided I'm going to be one of those annoying old people who spend all their time writing letters of complaint about stuff.

I used to see lots of people posting their "Wrapped for Artists" links. Not so much any more. I think that says a lot about artists attitude toward Spotify now.
