Sniffing out the best new music
Been busy recently - actually I've been busy since April - mad busy for my own standards. Today I feel like maybe I've been a little too busy... Tired but restless - languid yet alert. It's a reflective Sunday evening here in my room and a monologue is just what the doctor ordered. These Lockdown... Continue Reading →
I started writing poems about three weeks ago. The first came impulsively one morning and was based on some intense emotions that were bubbling inside me. It was a heart-pouring and necessary release to help me move on from that place in time. Since then, I've kept up the trend and have since drafted four... Continue Reading →
Back to the monologue - back to what I enjoy the most about this blog. Welcome to episode thirty seven of The 'Post' Lockdown Mixtape - the feature that keeps rolling and rolling. Although there is a wedding happening downstairs in the venue right now, I've got a window of time to draft this piece.... Continue Reading →
Slightly rebranded but the idea is the same. It may not be called The Lockdown Mixtape anymore but there was no chance in hell that this feature could be scrapped. I've invested too much time into these mixtapes, they became my go-to thing during 2020 and they are coming back after a brief hiatus. What's... Continue Reading →
Hmm what's happened since the last edition of The Lockdown Mixtape? Well... We've had a tornado in London, it has rained loads and I've joined a tennis club just in time for the Wimbledon rush. The day after I joined the club, I bent down to get a bottle of wine out of a fridge... Continue Reading →
Went a bit crazy during the week and ordered a big bunch of Sound Sniffer merch online for myself. The reasoning behind this bulky and impulsive purchase was pretty logical (for my standards) actually. The idea came to me following a little shopping trip in Watford. I needed summer t-shirts; I set off for Primark,... Continue Reading →
It's been a long day but there's still a little gas left in the tank. It's approaching 12am here in London and the wordpress tab has been clicked on my browser. This only means one thing; another edition of the lockdown mixtape incoming for you all to enjoy/endure/experience - whichever description suits. Been a hectic... Continue Reading →
A Non-Music related Introduction: A Story from my life: Went on a date there about a month ago near my house with a serial Tweeter (Tweetist), a fairly respected BBC TV show writer. I motormouthed my way through the date, the usual (to be expected) behaviour from myself. I filled every moment of silence with... Continue Reading →
Sunshine gleams down from above - finally. It's been nothing short of appalling this weather lark recently hasn't it? I did my annual Primark blitz shopping about a month ago, filling the black mesh shopping basket with all sorts of summery things, caps, sunglasses, shorts, t-shirts and even a vest type thing (optimistic). 'Ah, it's... Continue Reading →
The importance of a routine is so underestimated. Since arriving back in the UK again last month, life has been going okay to be fair. In times gone by I would waste plenty of time pondering what the magic formula for this was, but I don't need to, it is abundantly clear that the reason... Continue Reading →
