When will people stop trying to use Belgium to transport their wars?

Here's bluesky exclusive early access to my next video 'Never Coming Back'. A rough recording of it just to make a bad joke when it's properly released

Remind me what wonderful indie artists I've connected with on here by replying with one of your own tracks!

Crikey, that's a whole other meaning to that phrase ๐
My old attempted guitar recordings vary from shrill noise, squashed sounding distortion and 'you could picture this as a 90s punk demo if it was recorded better'
Lazy bank holiday afternoon? Here's some mindlessness to relax you
(Wait... what do you mean you wanted mindfulness?)
As mentioned in my latest 'studio vlog', most of a Tiger Driver LP exists on Soundcloud only. Here it is:

It was.
Got the job.
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? ๐
Got an in person interview at Pets at Home next week following on from a phone one today. Here's hoping 10th application is the charm ๐ฅฒ
Need to stay focused on the tracks I've slated for nearish release. Repeatedly going down the rabbit hole of the grand, cathartic EPs I have planned for later on is just messing with my head ๐
No point in reliving that stuff if I don't even plan to release those until god knows when
Man, I need to land a job soon. If I hear myself talk about the woman who was mad about PS5s as an example of dealing with a difficult customer one more time, I'm going to lose my mind like she did ๐ช
This post does not reflect my real views and should not factor into considering giving me a job
What aspect of music creation holds you back the most? As you may be able to guess from my 172 (or more) unreleased tracks, my mine issue is actually my complete lack of interest in the recording process ๐
It's so agonizingly painful inputting every detail of your education and employment history for council jobs just to not once get an interview ๐
I joked about releasing a special edition collection of 170 songs... the 2 I've released I'm happy with plus 168 previously unreleased tracks ๐
Anyway, the total is up to at least 172 now and I'd forgotten some corkers
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 ๐ฌ
(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)
The next studio vlog will include clips of the following tracks:
๐ Wandering Moon - Not Everything Is What You Want (My psychey rock band, is it finally time?)
๐ถ Ben Dring - Letting Go (one of the most powerful songs I've written)
๐ถ Ben Dring - Never Coming Back (Getting it's own video too)
Recently remembered to record clips for another of these... Ironically, I have been working on stuff for once, just not recording the process. These vids were supposed to have the opposite effect but never mind as long as the music is getting done...
Oh right! I think I'd forgotten you had a radio show. I've always appreciated your reposting support ๐
Last night, I discovered Moby made what was the F1 theme song during my childhood so... that's been my day so far youtu.be/pT_Y-eodTv4?...
The last few times I have sent my tunes out to radio shows, I have heard exactly nothing back. What indie radio shows are we using nowadays?
Psst... there are unreleased ideas/tracks featured on my first 'studio' vlog video ๐ฑ

Oops, forgot to actually share it here. Hope you stayed tuned!

Finally recorded the rest of my first 'studio vlog' video (started it in October). Stay tuned...
Tis the season
I'll check it out, thank you :)
Three years today since the release of Coming Home!

I wonder how often I think to myself 'things have been a bit miserable lately' or 'I've been pretty anxious lately'.
Pretty sure it's actually just constant and I break it up in my head based on what has been going on at that point.
Sure feels like week to week all that's changing is what is making me feel overwhelmed and without any time to do anything. I mean a lot of people feel that way with work but I'm not even getting paid... since I'm even more interview-able but not hireable than ever apparently.
