It's so weird to me too. Just very horrible ones recently as well. Ugh.
Thank you. Unfortunately to see any comments I have to se the horrible ones too x
That is so lovely to hear, thank you x
Reading negative comments daily is part of my job, and if people are commenting on my posts I'm lucky, right?
Maybe.
They do seem particularly nasty at the moment though, perhaps unsurprisingly due to current events but hurtful all the same.
I keep trying to be kind, I wish others would too.

βNow we know we were always enoughβ is a lyric I could only have written in my 40βs, and Iβm proud. To have realised it, and to have folded it into the melody for my song βSeasonsβ.

New YouTube blurb ahoy!
"Heartfelt indie music and creative experiments for you.
Original songs and music videos plus honest conversations about art, life and the creative process."

Someone the other asked me to send them razors and rope...not sure what experiment they're concocting there but I got the vague sense they weren't into the song they had watched which is called THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH
It's a shame really
He does seem muddled up about several issues all at once.
Hereβs the reminder you need to see today that, on the very same thread, one person will hate what you do and one person will love it π
What is your inner gremlin shouting RIGHT NOW?

Are you nursing regrets over not starting your YouTube channel yet?
I talked through what I made in 5 years on the platform as a full-time music producer and solo artist, sharing all the numbers and talking about the creative side: youtu.be/CblLzEP7uCw?...

It didn't feel simple or normal at that time, hence the lyrics!
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.
It actually really was! I'm glad I pressed on and did it after it sat on my To Do Next list for about 3 years
I'm so glad you like it too! I filmed everything as well (to be edited later) and really dazzled myself with the beauty of that one!
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
I'm sorry for your loss, Robin x
Exporting a brand new song to share with my subscribers this weekend feels VERY GOOD!
I've been mostly offline since Christmas working on much-needed infrastructure stuff for my cottage industry music-making biz, but am still sharing a secret song on the first of every month.
Love to you x
I got the UGreen DXP4800. It's taking forever to transfer everything but that's because there's a lot of stuff!
Mine is backing up the aforementioned stack of hard drives, and is set to RAID 5 so everything feels a lot more secure now!
Eek! I'm hoping to reduce the amount of TB used over the next few months of working out how many duplicate files I've stashed away and deleting absolutely useless video files π€£
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!
