Talking about some books I’ve read recently:

Splinter by Shannon Humphreys

Love, Pamela by Pamela Anderson

The Woman In Me by Britney Spears

Paris: The Memoir by Paris Hilton

Down The Drain by Julia Fox

The Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante

Have you read any of these? Should I talk about them in more detail? Do you like autobiographies in general?

This episode serves as an intro to my playlist called Drum.

You can find this playlist on my Artist page on Spotify: Loads Of Japanese Bands

Dusting off the cobwebs again, by talking about what I’ve been into lately, then a ramble about this age of diminishing returns.

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 no songs, and there should be another version that does 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?

Super Straightforward Suggestions for getting it done. Those aren’t the three S’s by the way. Or are they…? They aren’t.

Welcome to The Mid Ages aka The Age Of Mid. What do I mean? Listen to find out. Link in bio for the Patreon and access to the playlist and “behind the scenes”.

Talking through a bunch of songs that I’m adding to the Patreon Playlist. Some are new, some I’ve mentioned before. Let me know what you think.

The title isn’t that serious, I honestly had a great time. Hence why I went on for almost an hour here. Still wish they played “I’m Just Ken” though.

I hope you all survived August. There’s gonna be a few changes around here. If you want to be in on the new stuff, the Patreon link is in the bio.

These have been the windmills of my mind.

The title says it all. The clock is ticking. Will you find the video in time?

I wasn’t planning on it, but thanks to the DICE app and NME Screens, I got to see Meet Me In The Bathroom. This is how it went.

Today’s topics: having your idols follow you on social media, Glasto headliners Pt 2, Raye gets her first number 1, the cinematic universe of music biopics, and Bob Dylan’s taste in music.

Today’s topics: hello to my newest Patreon subscribers, 100 YouTube subscribers, FLO are BBC’s Sound of 2023, and who should headline Glastonbury 2023 and 2024.

A little more on the highlights I’ve had while I wasn’t here. Feel free to say hi through the link in the bio.

It’s time to Show Up, Own Up, and Grow Up.

Enough about what we HAVE listened to, let’s talk about what we WILL listen to instead. At least according to the BBC.

Listen to Stone Jets. And Franz Ferdinand.

I’m going. I’m going, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going. There, problem solved.

It’s a ramble, but the main thing I’m trying to say is Thank You.

Who needs horoscopes or personality quizzes when Spotify can tell you who you really are.

The 1975, Phoenix, Arctic Monkeys, and what The Snapshot means when it comes to music.

How would we even know if we were in the “pop landfill” era?

My soundtrack for the next 10 hours at least: Stormzy, MUNA, ear candy, and Ethel Cain. In between podcast episodes.

Talking about rules that are meant to be broken, and trying to live in the present.

A little catch-up on how I’ve been doing. Spoiler alert: not great.

War of the ‘75 fans, Kelly Rowland deserves better, and who is headlining Reading and Leeds.

Today is a very important date.

About You is on heavy rotation over here.

I saw The 1975 live and all I got was this lousy podcast episode.

Thank you Rob.

I uploaded it before midnight, so it still counts.

Am I onto something here, or am I just in desperate need of some sleep?
