Just re-watching this cute and hopefully still helpful video from three years ago about how I run my online music making business: youtu.be/AgcWb5KEGaQ?...
I live in a different city, I have a fringe and my black dog is now grey but most of this is how I operate to this day.

I finished something big just now!
I recently photographed all my vinyl, CDs and other merch to pretty up my online shop, and I just finished uploading everything and reorganising it.
It feels very nice to have this all looking sharp: shop.penfriend.rocks

22 years of creating videos, music and photos = approximately 30 TB of data dumped onto my new NAS from a pile of external drives.
The next phase of reorganising and paring down will take a while, but it feels SO MUCH better to have it in a safe(r) place.
Backup your important files today, friend!
Oh just fuck off with this pathetic bullshit

When we can't sleep
When the horror cuts deep
May we be loved
May we loved
❤️
Bundled with the double-A side singles are an instrumental version of "The Argonauts", a "Disco Loadout" demo and two commentary tracks from my "House Of Stories" Podumentary.
Whatever your day holds, I'm sending you my love.
Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
LOVE,
Laura xxx
I wanted to make a song to play at the end of my imaginary set, to share my appreciation for the audience and send them off into the night with hope in their hearts. In 2025 I was fortunate enough to play it 12 times!
Were you there?
For this special Valentine's Day release I've also included the album closer "Disco Loadout".
I wrote this song on the Omnichord OM-108 in summer 2024, when I didn't know if I'd ever perform live in a room with people again.
The song addresses the misunderstood idea that “blood is thicker than water”: did you know the full quote is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”?

"May We Be Loved" appears on my 2025 album "House Of Stories".
It's a love song for humanity, an offer of hope and a reminder that friendship and chosen family is just as – or more – valuable than blood ties.
To celebrate this day of love from a different angle than the one we're so sick of used to, I've put together a special 6-song pack for you.

🤦♂️. Nothing better than a review based on someone not even bothering to listen 🤷♂️

This is still FREE / PWYW for the next 7 days. Bandcamp Day is over for now but their platform fees are perfectly fair, so if you'd like to nip along and get your copy it's a great time to do so.

It’s Bandcamp Day, when the platform I’ve been releasing music on since 2009 celebrates their artists by taking 0% of sales. They are good eggs!
I’m celebrating with a set of live recordings made on my December tour.

I remember seeing a trailer for Internal Affairs (the awful Richard Gere corrupt cop movie) the night after I’d seen it and it had bits in it that weren’t in the version they released 🤦♂️

15 years ago I covered my fave Christmas song and made a video starring my beloved lil dog Mister Benji.
He's been gone for almost exactly 4 years now so I especially enjoy watching us dance together in the snow every year :)

Look, I tried…
Still think I did a better job than Charles.
Barely edited, barely sober, but I mean all of it.
Merry Christmas you utter twats.

The fictional prequel to the biggest Christmas banger of all time, a festive tale of love, understanding and the particular resignation that, when you break a songwriter’s heart, they’re probably going to write about it.

Who's up for an indie rock Christmas tune that's a fictional prequel to one of the biggest Christmas hits ever?

"You made a fuss of cooking
But something won't compute
You seem to like my brother
And I think your sister's cute
It's our last Christmas
Our last Christmas"
