Today I launched a micro-grant that is a no-strings-attached sun for artists to spend on new, potentially risky projects. Read below for application details! ❤️ https://t.co/tw9IdMS9tg

@moonagedemon These lineups are all so absolutely killer! Bands with so much potential, too.

Kind of in an order but also not in an order at all!

No cheating - your Quietus style Bakers Dozen. 13 albums (off the top of your head) to know you by. Not looking for a perfect list, looking for a list that you instantly regret posting because you then remember something else.

I’m generally loathe to give unsolicited advice but I’d like to offer some insight into what it means to be a full time freelance writer. no one wants to talk numbers, but here we go 🧵

My partner's debut album is out now! We met on a dating app and I was like "no, I don't want to listen to this random dude's music," but I clicked his link anyway--and immediately planned a date.

@andrewbecker95 Shoutouts: Fontaines DC with Pickle Darling in Christchurch, my 17yo cousin's first pit; Turnstile/Fazerdaze/ Dartz in Auckland; the Beths/Sidney Gish at Brooklyn Steel; Brit Floyd; Death Cab/Postal Service tour; Rick Astley at Glastonbury (the most fun and joyous set ever!)

No more shows this year, so my fav shows of 2023!

1. MSPaint + the Mall at Alphaville. Didn't expect my AOTY to be hardcore, but synth punk is brilliant and this was so incredibly fun. Best energy.

@andrewbecker95 8. O. Wake + Helenor + Di Ivories + Redbud @ the Broadway. All my favourite people came out, I built the lineup, everyone played phenomenally, the music was absolutely stellar!
