SADDESTNIGHTOUT

I missed you too.

I missed you too.

Tooth hurts. Playing bass. Singing?

Sounding just a little like Patrick Bateman on this one. Codeword: BATEMAN

Hotel Mira are what The Killers would be if they didn’t have The UK and NME behind them for Hot Fuss.

Ryan, you were the REAL gift of that live. Thank you.

Does my concept make sense? And if it does, are you in 🤝🏾?

AKA: Don’t Worry, I’ve Been Busy - AK-AKA (Winnie the Bish): Showing Up For The Conversation. I’m honestly surprised that I did this episode in one take after being away for so long. I’ve missed you all.

Arguably this whole podcast has been a very long Day One. It’s been (mostly) fun for me. I hope it has been for you too. Also hello to Lee, castorbelle, Monica, Luca, Cowboy, Kal, Opal, Buffy, Nappy Herbalist, KMP, and Mick.

We are all children of Nile Rodgers. Also I play some bass on this one. Also also, I’M THE REASON THE 1975 STARTED THEIR SHOW IN COLOGNE WITH THE CITY AND YOU’RE ALL WELCOME. That’s all, enjoy.

Should this be where new listeners start this podcast?

Back from another break and taking it back to basics: sharing a bunch of songs (while Spotify will still let me).

This definitely isn’t just a jazzy cover of National Anthem by Radiohead, played on bass guitar.

I choked tonight. So now you get to hear a little commiseration guitar.

No script. Pure improv. Slight nightmare.

Slightly bad mood, slightly long rant. I forgot to mention that 1: I try to catalogue when I find a new artist in my WhatsApp searches, and 2: my £1 a month Patreon is my attempt to rebel against Fake Premium. There is no premium here, just showing support to help something small become able to grow. Ok, now the rant is over.

Do I sound like I’m too close to the mic?

Who do you think deserves a music biopic? (And sorry for temporarily forgetting your name James)

We made it. Now hopefully we’ll make it again tomorrow. Welcome back everyone!

It’s Mr Oizo, not DJ Oizo. My apologies to the Oizo estate. Also if any of you use any promo codes you do so at your own risk. If any of these feel like a new favourite for you, I’d love to know. The voice note option is right below this description. I’ll “hear” you around (instead of see you around).

Coco Mocoe calls it the Venn Diagram Theory, I call it Finding Your Fingerprint. Also, I know that putting songs in episodes means you can only listen on Spotify. Is the same true when I include voice messages? Please tell me if you can see this episode on Apple Podcasts etc. Also also, anyone else want to say hi?

We’ve got our first voice messages! Thank you Kaye and Dan for leading the way. I hope there’ll be more to follow. As for Flare-Search and RFSN (Rapid Fire Super Niche), I’ll need you to tell me if I sound like I’m on to something, or if I sound like I’ve been taking something.

No more code words. Instead, I’d like you to send me a voice message. I know it might seem daunting at first, but this episode is my attempt to explain where I’m coming from. I look forward to hearing from you. Not in a corporate email kind of way, but genuinely. You know what I mean. I’m rambling now, just press play and hear me out. Please. Your call is very important to us.

My listening habits aren’t great. Even if there’s only one song I really like from an artist, the least I can do is give that song a shout out. Here are the songs I mention this time around: deep tan - Air | Chenayder - Fall | snny - Let’s Not Pretend | The Mistys - Bite Marks | JW Ridley - Blitz | JW Ridley - Everything (Deathless): Pt. 1

I’m about to use this script to record a video, but I thought I’d practice it here first. I might get a little distracted by seeing Pedro Winter aka Busy P on my laptop. Hopefully you don’t notice. If you liked hearing me say all this, you can watch me do it on YouTube too. Do any of you watch my YouTube videos or do you prefer just to listen instead?

Just taking stock of the little wins today. Maybe I’m all talked out from the YouTube (yes, YouTube) videos. You can hear more from me over there.

Back to zero days since I last missed a day. Thank you for sticking around.

Maybe it’s a meaningless term now, but once upon a time it felt like an identity. I’m telling you what little I know about what came before my time, and then what I remember about my time, and how I feel about the state of things now. And honestly: It’s So Cold In This House.

Hello to James and Jake, and to ALL the folks that were kind enough to watch my video (YouTube feels so lonely for small creators) and leave a comment. I wasn’t planning to make this video, but after reading the amazing comments on there I felt compelled to do so. If any of you do come here from YouTube, please let me know. Thank you all.

Hello Jake and Gill! Am I just accumulating b-roll for an eventual documentary about How I Made It? Is this actually the main story? I don’t think this will lead to the breakthrough, but is it worth it even if there isn’t a breakthrough? The answer my friend, is maybe. That’s how that song goes, right?

Hello to the regulars (Jake, Gill, Dan, and James), and welcome to the newcomers (weepywoopy, kansasandinmisery, and skullkid1888)! Short and sweet today, I’ve got a YouTube video to record. Wish me luck.

We start with some weird dreams, then I try to convince myself of a new approach to posting online. Will I finally post another video? Tune in to the next episode to find out. Hello to Jake, James, Gill, and Dan!

Talking about the magic of making music, and the magic of making movies about the magic of making music. Simply put, does everything start as a mixtape (even video games)? Also, hello to Gill, Jake, and Sara!

Lyrics are easily the biggest obstacle I face when it comes to finishing songs. Maybe talking about them more might help.

This is like a TEDx talk of ideas that I think would be great to see on Spotify. And this episode title is the tagline that I would use as well. What do you think of these ideas? Anyone at Spotify listening by any chance?

I’ve been meaning to do this one for a while. Thank you Dan for reminding me. This version of the episode SHOULD HAVE SONGS, and there should be another version that doesn’t have songs. Fingers crossed this works.

I’m gonna try to do two versions of this episode: one with music and one without. Here’s to Chapter 1!

Talking games again, but also pop music, and Wordle. If I’ve managed to figure it out, there should also be a poll on here to help answer the question in the title.

Got carried away talking about Grand Theft Auto and how gravity works. Hopefully it makes sense. Please tell me if it makes sense.

No video today, but I did have a great rehearsal and receive a pleasant surprise of an email. Also it’s late, but it’s still before midnight. So this still counts for today’s episode (but only just).

Under 10 minutes! Can’t be rambling for an hour everyday.

After 5 years of being on DistroKid, I’ve finally actually used it! Loads Of Japanese Bands has one song on Spotify, and one monthly listener. Next stop: your Spotify Wrapped?
