Remember saving up for a CD? Walking to your mate’s house to hear it properly? Music used to be an event. Now it’s background noise. New essay: 'When Music Had Weight'

When Music Had Weight

A bus ride in 1996, a mate's stereo, and what we lost when everything became available.

Thank God for Tetsu

Thursday electro boogie. Anyone remember this bad boy?

Happy Thursday! Eyyyyoooo!!

Watch this one 👀

There’s nothing like running before sunrise. It’s as if you’ve discovered a hidden slice of the day that belongs only to you.

Nuff said

Tiz a sunset

A man, let’s call him Frank, gets up at 4am and goes to work on the railway. Then at 1pm he does a shift at his local pub until 7pm, leaving him time to toss in a 4 hour shift at at the petrol station near his gaff. Frank’s doctor says his persistent low mood is the result of a genetic defect. Frank takes happy pills prescribed by the doctor. Also, Frank takes diazepam for anxiety and Lorazepam for sleep. Both of these are dished out by the doctor. People talk about Frank behind his back in local bar. Say that he is mad and ‘on medication.’ Frank struggles to envision a future with three jobs and zero time to oraganise his thoughts. Frank has had thoughts about ending his life. His doctor increased his dosages. Frank feels suffocated by a life of drudgery. Prices in the supermarket keep going up. Wages do not. Frank sees cityboys driving sports cars. Frank takes the bus to work. Frank sits cross legged on a bridge staring down at the water. He feels striped of dignity and pride. He wants to brighter future. He doubts it will come.

Happy Sunday
