Madeline Listen to Madeline

Pre save:

My new song 'Madeline' is out at midnight tonight!

Unless you're in NZ, Aus etc. in which case it's already out.

Spotify numbers suggest it's already benefiting from coincidentally having the same name as a track on the Lily Allen record.

Pre-save link in the following post.

Snow is out on all streaming services and digital music stores today! Link in the post below to fool the algorithm...

Fun fact:

Track 5 on Lily Allen's new album is called Madeline.

Track 5 on my new album is also called Madeline.

Arcady Bliss on Instagram: "Oak Tree is the opening song on the Arcady Bliss album. It's out on November 20th. I wrote this song when I was sick with covid for the first time after attending a Kiefer show at the Earth venue in Hackney (no regrets, he's the best). After a few days cooped up indoors I was desperate to get outside and I think that inspired the song. I was thinking of home during the writing process, so the only place to film the video was in the hills near the village where I grew up in North Yorkshire. Fortunately we were able to do it during the harvest, too - my favourite time of year. It was a really hot day and @thaisrenzi did an incredible job hiking there with me and filming on her iPhone - that's real love. There's lots more to come in the next few weeks, so please follow, like, share and sign up to the mailing list link in the bio to come along for the ride.

My Instagram ads algorithm knows that I like plugins and expensive trainers I'll never buy.

But did you know that I released a little video yesterday?

Well, now you do.

Also, I have an album out next month.

Follow Arcady Bliss on Instagram please.

Going through a big Sgt. Pepper's phase at the moment.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the songwriting, arrangement and sequencing. Not that I didn't before, it's just really hitting for me at the moment.

It's also the first Beatles stereo mix that works. Sublime.

Wasn't really convinced by what I'd heard of the latest Wet Leg album earlier this year, but after watching their KEXP session yesterday it clicked - I'm in!

Faves: Mangetout and Davina McCall..

Also, Dan Carey prod, Alan Moulder mix and Matt Colton master is a dream team ✨

Black japanese fender 72 custom telecaster, early 2000s issue with a new Creamery bridge pickup installed

Gf out for the day so it's been gym, brunch at home, York City FA cup win on the wireless and a new Creamery (made in Manchester 🐝) bridge pickup finally installed on the Tele.

Absolutely phenomenal as Saturdays go, tbh.

The only question now is chippy tea, chinese or curry?

It's ok guys I've got it: The Ronettes - Be My Baby.

Somebody please tell me where Taylor borrowed the "whoa oh oh oh oh" at the end of the Opalite chorus from.

It sounds like another massive, older song, I just can't quite place it and it's driving me mad.

Just finished listening to a Richard Ashcroft interview and was reminded of his song 'Music Is Power'.

A stone cold banger I'd long forgotten.

The guy knows how to pick a sample. The Curtis Mayfield/Walter Jackson part is so great. It's on repeat here.

Wallace and Gromit by Aardman Animations

Worth remembering that you can change the voice of your inner monologue to Wallace from Wallace and Gromit if you want.

Mine mostly says, " Ee come on, lad!" a lot and brings up cheese several times an hour.

Listened to Is This It by The Strokes on my Yamaha NS10s.

I've heard this album a hundred times, but on these it just sounds exactly as it should; it feels perfect.

Can't yet find any info to confirm Gordon Raphael mixed it on NS10s, but I'd put money on it that he did.

Incredible what a 5-0 win can do for your mood.

It's a strange paradox that the best music tech people online make the most unlistenable music.

Also, the best podcast on songwriting and songwriters has the most unpleasant theme tune.

Just back from seeing the new documentary about The Coral.

Really artfully and tastefully done - I loved it. Go and see it if you get the chance.

Came out feeling inspired, head full of melodies.

Still from 90's Lee and Herring show. A man holds a spray can standing in front of a wall with "York City are magic" sprayed on it.

York City are magic 🪄

The production, grooves, vocal melodies and arrangements on this are so great. They still sound fresh.

Stuart Zender on the bass, though 😮‍💨 🔥🔥

I honestly think this album would be a hit if it were released today.

That Virtual Insanity video was an irresistible gateway.

Jason Kay in the Virtual Insanity music video

Fully giving in to the social media nostalgia loop at the moment.

Listening to Travelling Without Moving by Jamiroquai after watching a reel on IG.

The first cool album I had on cassette as a kid and it still sounds transcendant.

It influenced me more than I realise.

1990's can of Lynx Africa deodorant

Reached the stage of life where I want buy a can of a Lynx Africa just to smell the 90's again.

Radiohead tickets secured.
What a palaver.

Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65 stalked me today.

This morning my gf mentioned it. I told her I had the CD single and loved it as a kid (I was 10 and it's catchy as fuck, what could I do?)

A couple of hours later, I found that CD in a box looking for something.

Now this on YT!

Great new pod from The Music Venue Trust presented by my pal, Toni!

When you think of it as a 'National Trust for music venues', particularly focused on grass roots, it really makes sense.

http://KEXP.ORG presents Field Music performing "The Noisy Days Are Over" live in the KEXP studio. Recorded March 28, 2015. Host: Stevie Zoom Audio Engineer: Kevin Suggs Cameras: Jim Beckmann, Aron Roberts & Justin Wilmore Editor: Justin Wilmore http://kexp.org http://www.field-music.co.uk Field Music - The Noisy Days Are Over (Live on KEXP)

Field Music are surely one of the most overlooked and underappreciated bands in the last 20 odd years.

They should be regarded as a national treasure. To me they are.

Prince knew. He tweeted about this banger.

Somehow I've still yet to see Radiohead, so I hope to tick them off in November if we can get tickets for the O2.

Tame Impala and Stevie are probably the only other big ones that spring to mind. Oh, and Franz Ferdinand somehow slipped through the net, too.

Whos's on your list?

Free bit of patter for you:

When anybody says something funny, just say, "haha you win the internet today!"

This also works if you want to be sarcastic.

Using it in real life, offline is an excellent way to confuse your opponent and gain the upper hand in a battle of wits.

Obvious technical and business reasons why this isn't a thing.

It wouldn't surprise me if somebody has made a browser plugin or something similar to achieve this, though.
