Dusty field spring.

I’m reminded of the US with their CD longboxes in the mid-1980s - designed to make CDs fit the same shelves as vinyl. Or did I just imagine that?

I'm good.

Problem with that outcome: so will the rest of us…

I went from a big-name provider to budget - and back again, because they don’t all provide visual voicemail which is a deal-breaker. But I came back to my original provider at 20% of the previous tariff price.

Done up like a kipper.

Looks like a job for... Black Bag!

Gig, london, tomorrow. ra.co/events/2076350

Still prepping for the gig on Wednesday. Live-coding of VSTs slowly becoming more feasible, if not exactly sensible.

Alongside that, a clear method for artists to manage their own content. The most plays I got on Spotify last month were for a track that isn't even mine, while a whole bunch of tracks I fed out via a podcast haven't been attributed to me at all. Or they kind-of have, but to the wrong Nick Rothwell.

So great that it’s day one and we are already rating different forms of Nazi salute, who knows what’s on the advent calendar for day two.
