Yep it's voluntary work and takes me all month, but I appreciate what you're saying, no worries :)

Yep it could have - I almost did it on pinkwashing to relate to Israel news. But the article is always written in such a way that the issues about the albums flow into each other. Apologies. I had hyperlinked to your Jamaica Plains interview anyway, where you go in-depth, so readers can find out.

Have added "wide-ranging" and always hyperlink to interviews about the albums so readers can read about the artists in their own words. Hope that's ok

Yep appreciate that but this column always links new protest music to that month's news and word count is limited. Can say "wide-ranging album" if you like?

10 new albums that will inspire you to fight Mat Ward looks back at September's political news and the best new music that related to it.

Agreed. Have reworded article from "hit back" to "hits back at such views". Re-read it and see if that's ok

I've done another Bluesky post without the Kirk reference, @evangreer.bsky.social See if you prefer that, and if so, we can delete this one

Yes it is a weird framing Evan, sorry. I can delete it if you like?

Article definitely not written by AI, but post and article written by a sleep deprived author, me

Ironic that TikTok removed my Charlie Kirk song for "bullying" when all it does is quote his own words and say he supported free speech and welcomed people with opposing views to debate him.
You can still watch it on Bluesky with lyrics here:

Evolution Of A Dog Walker - on 105.7 FM Radio Metro Gold Coast Australia 09 Sep 2025 Here's a song for all dog lovers. It was a T-shirt idea before it was a song. But the song's lyrics were inspired by playing dog Top Trumps with my kid. My favourite card was The Stray. It pointed out

Here's my latest single on the radio. "There's a good message in this," says the host. "Because it's really about making sure you rescue a dog rather than buying from a breeder and I kinda love that." 🐶😍
