Yes, after two months I had sort of assumed...

I don't know... seems like the playlist is just for engagement for small artists to me... that being said, I appreciate the polite feedback and indeed getting feedback at all on a playlist rejection

Is there any better feeling than when a band you love, that historically has a lot of stuff missing from streaming, suddenly has most of their albums on your preferred platform? 😍

I made a list of everything I haven't recorded to beat myself up. Guys, I have 168+ unreleased songs... I suppose I should get to work 😬 (Figure does not include unfinished ideas, hooks, choruses or bits that would write themselves, songs I've decided are bad or songs I've forgotten)

Tis the season

Oh man how'd I forget to post about going to see Drowning Pool on here? A 15 year waited ended. I did get quite emotional. Signed poster from the merch table and the bassist's pick acquired... no idea who he was like, wasn't my mate Stevie, but two gigs in a row coming away with a pick

Decided to go as Wayne Static this halloween,you know? #waynestatic #staticx

5 years ago today, I made this excellent promotional meme linktr.ee/bendring

Absolutely overjoyed for my beloved having her work featured in an Etsy advert 🥹 Moreso need to do something for her to be proud of now 😬

As a big advocate of mental health support, it's so great to see mental health messages like this in places like the gents toilets linktr.ee/bendring

Not one of my usual office dogs... not even my usual office in fact but a more than welcome afternoon of work nonetheless

I dunno, Microsoft Rewards... I've definitely known it to do all three 🤔

Another birthday down. One where I actually thought of something to do for once so that's good. Still too many birthdays having passed with no musical output but ho hum at least we have stuff in the pipeline this time

Aw no, have I not uploaded for a while? It's almost as if no one in my town can actually get played on it 🤨

If I thought a couple months were bad, imagine how I would've felt if I knew the album wouldn't be finished 5 years later 🫣 You can listen to what exists here tho on.soundcloud.com/nDYDhqBLq6mC... #ambience #ambientmusic #electronica #noisemusic

Another lovely day dogsitting with synthesizers. Cosy, rainy one today

If Spotify wants to help the mental health of artists, how about paying them some fucking money?

Believe in yourself the way my car believes it has 1500 miles worth of fuel in it

Gonna be another busy year for my music rankings (not that I finished posting last years) ... just under 20 albums* for consideration and less than half the year gone *With surely at least 1 thing I've forgotten

Dogsitting duty

Another list of mine from 2024. Bout time I got these finished. This time, it's artists I listened to for the first time this year who I enjoyed the most. #musicsky #musiclists #artistrecommendations #musictopten

Too right, digital marketer 💪 Have your soul touched: linktr.ee/bendring

Happy Valentine's Day yo Here's your present from me: linktr.ee/bendring

Next list is 10 pre-existing albums that made the most impression in 2024. Really not a competitive one this year but I feel like I say that a lot. Probably just a delayed win for 'Hushed and Grim' which probably should've had best album in 2021. #musicsky #musictopten #musictop10

I always like to recap my music listening each year with lists of my favourites. Here are 10 pre-existing songs I enjoyed the most this year. Moog synths and bouncy bass wins out again #musicsky #songrecommendations #musicrecommendations

Four songs to recap my January! Brad Sucks - Learning To Lie (NEW!) The Cure - Drone:nodrone Melvins - Hooch Donna Lewis & Holmes Ives - Corridors

Finally cracked out my modulation pedal tonight after having it for over 6 months and putting off buying it for 6 months before that. Not quite sure how to get the tones I want but plenty of time to fiddle about with it... assuming I ever turn it on again. #guitarpedals #indiemusicians #indiemusic

Long overdue (both in my life in general and after having started my lessons)

So easily influenced by white icing and anything Christmassy linktr.ee/bendring

Artists have a muse. Whether it's sad (like trauma) happy (like family) or dreadful like the one SepticFlesh made a song about. Mine is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. What's yours?
