Rhythm and Muse Issue 1 - Debut

also! did a real scary thing and started a substack.

Album Review: Brògeal - 'Tuesday Paper Club' — When The Horn Blows If you weren’t listening before, you had better be now : Brogeal and their debut album ‘Tuesday Paper Club’.

reviewing debuts is always a joy, even more so when it’s a band I love and am excited for the world to see 🥹

one of the best to have done it

cosplaying as a serious journo and attending a session tonight on the future of Scottish arts journalism 💪

would love to have a cup of tea with jarvis cocker

screaming crying throwing up

looking at everyone’s glasto posts knowing it should be me there instead

went to a gig last night and my heart is full

another job rejection, this time for ‘too much experience’.

what will it take for someone to give me a chance

recent musings

oh sorry I didn’t realise! thank you so much for sharing 🥰

can I submit from outside the us?

the album I’m reviewing this week is terrifying but so good that it’s impossible to pause. listening to it feels like I’m experiencing a nuclear apocalypse from the inside of a spectrum games console. it’s fkn brilliant and such a feat of musical ingenuity. can’t wait to share.

New self-care routine of a lovely cup of tea (while doom-scrolling) 🫖

the heartbreak when a job you land for a commission/gig that is so exciting and you’re passionate about and you meet the people etc falls through >>>

I fear marvel may have won me back with this one

should be doing job apps and writing pitches. instead, im going to see a florence pugh movie

love this!
