I am spinning in the direction of delight after having received my copy of The Belfast Review. I contributed a non-fiction story abt the night myself & my oldest friend met Van Morrison when we were kids. For sale via @thebelfastreview.bsky.social *Sunglasses,tiny Batman & banana not included.
Just about able to walk in a straight line again after inhaling this short, sustained masterpiece by Jon Fosse in one dizzying sitting.
Had to cancel my entire morning but with good reason. I met a friendly cat.
It’s so damn good. Hadn’t watched since it was broadcast when I was but a bairn & was laughing and creeped out in equal measures! Pure Joe Dante - hero - and a lil Twin Peaks in places too. The Tupperware twins remind me of the nerdy kid from Gary Larson cartoons. Truly, an added bonus.
Rummaging in the Curfew Tower with @kenbartley.bsky.social as well as some recording with Bill & came across a pristine edition of Smash Hits from 1982; featuring this live review of the amazing Gang of Four by the equally amazing @pennykiley.bsky.social Rock &/or Roll.
That strange moment when you’re 2nd hand cd shopping and see one of your own albums in the thrifty wild…so you buy Bernard Butler’s amazing solo album.
Delighted these films I helped out with have been nominated for Focal Awards. 'The Bannfoot Ferry' - Best Use of Footage in a Short Film Production 'Craigavon, New City' - Best Use of Footage in a Factual or Natural World Production Massive congratulations to the director, Colm Laverty & crew!
Just saw this over the North of Ireland and quietly freaked thinking it was ICE. (According to DuckDuckGo image search it’s not)
Here’s a snippet of the lead track…”Have Some Soul” If you can’t purchase any shares are, as ever, not expected but always deeply appreciated Fuck the warmongers, big tech or not. Support independent arts and humanity Have a nice day! 🙃 shorturl.at/Ro8pF (bandcamp link ⬆️)
It is bandcamp friday - & as a Spotify resistant artist it’s more important to me than ever! 1 purchase of ‘The "not perfect but at least it isn't AI slop...live!" EP’ at £5 is equal to nearly 2000 streams AND you won’t be supporting AI drone warfare by using bandcamp shorturl.at/E8Pom
This is my cousin, Dougal. Dougal has been teaching me how to sing in Dog.
1 on 1 karma services. Open 9 - 5. All your karmaic comeuppance under one roof. Operators are standing by.
Thank you Massive Attack. Sp*tify still haven’t removed my page despite no music being there so I updated my bio again. Although they say “…but we’re only helping death in another war…” the point remains that artists are being forced to contribute to warfare. Death is death. I will not comply.
The theme song to the film STAY; 40 Hours to Memphis. Dir; T.Moberly Screenplay; B.Drummond I wrote some words on my Bandcamp about it that explain it all. Basically, I wrote a song for the Ghost of Elvis to perform. Available everywhere but sp*tify versechorusverse.bandcamp.com/album/40-hou...
Spotify; the AI drone warfare supporting streaming platform, has finally removed my music but I think my page is still there so I’ve updated my bio whilst it remains.
Our film premiered on Saturday to a sold out full house. Thank you endlessly to Tracey Moberly and Bill Drummond for this opportunity.
I asked my distributor to remove me from the disgraceful AI arms funding “music” platform, Spotify. They refused. I have switched distributors. Fuck Spotify :) Anyway, today is the ‘25 Comeback Special…
I made a film with Bill Drummond & Tracey Moberly. I posted the trailer before. So here’s the posters. And here’s the sign off. Bye! (tix available here… citizenticket.com/events/bill-drummond/the-25-comeback-special/ )
Good morning. Here is my capture of a Bluesky, as is required in the small print (If you zoom in *really* close it’s full of coarse jokes too - a strange but naturally occurring phenomenon) Wishing you all a fine week.
Starting the 1st of 3 projects this year with this man today. His first three Artistic Commandments are always worth remembering. 1 Don’t make art for rich people 2 Make art for everyone 3 Don’t stand on the outside looking in, stand on the outside looking further out
