I rarely pay attention to reviews tbh. It’s only someone’s opinion and there’s no reason for mine to be the same even if I’ve agreed with that persons view in the past

My cousin tries wherever possible to go camping with his dog at this time of year so they’re in the middle of nowhere and avoid the fireworks. Obviously weather plays a part in that but he usually finds a way

It's ironic that this happened during a very real, very live music performance, but the internet can be a strange and wonderful place and I always enjoy unearthing an unusual title for my live albums.

And so I present "Deepfake Detected" penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/deepfa...

Uh oh, I’ve been rumbled!

During Wednesday night's online gig I was accused of being a "deepfake" by an audience member's privacy protection software.

Nothing beats the feeling of finishing a song that didn't exist two days ago and listening back LOUD.

I fucking love making music and I'm SO thankful to get to do it as my job.

THANK YOU MUSIC FANS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

I enjoyed hearing Warpaint’s β€œBillie Holiday” for the first time in ages.

You can listen back to the whole show on BBC Sounds.

I’m really excited to share new album Thaw on Nov 14th on all the usuals and the rest.

I’m confused πŸ€”. I thought omniplex owned the building already but this article suggests otherwise. That was what was reported at the time the closure was announced initially I’m sure πŸ‘

Today I am working on the next song in my Par Avion project! I'm delivering a new song on the first of every month to my subscribers, and as of this moment I have no idea what I'm sending out this Saturday.

Gotta love a deadline.

Right, back to the attic I go!

Have an ace day yourself xo

I’m not for everyone, and I’m fine with that.

My music certainly isn’t for everyone. I’m fine with that too.

I don’t expect everyone on the internet to like me. And I’m absolutely fine with that.
