Hi. Are you working on some sort of project that needs a musical score? A podcast? A YouTube series? Is anyone you know? Writing and recording music for things that need music is quite literally my job! My rates are very reasonable and I'd love to hear from you! My DMs are open x

@alexdamonwrites @dannyodwyer I'd argue that in many (most?) cases it's less "their instinct", more their "deeply cynical and manipulative method of driving engagement".

☑️ Get people angry
☑️ Pick a scapegoat for people to direct their anger towards
☑️ Profit

It's depressing how reliable a method it is

@CaraLisette @awpchristie Oooh! Adam Buxton had this exact email recently! He spoke about it on Richard Herring's podcast, and read out the whole email. I honestly wondered if he'd made it up as a gag, but I'm delighted to see it's real!

They talk about it in this clip:

@Sandordude @bennjordan I saw that title and thought "oh I know this one! It's because you're old, and getting older. That's it. That's the whole thing". I can't tell if he genuinely hasn't realised that or if it's just cynical ragebait (maybe both?) but I just kept scrolling so I'll never know!

@darrellmaclaine @petepaphides Good idea for a podcast! I always rather find enjoyment in music than not (but I'm not immune to snobbery), so an hour of someone presenting a compelling argument for "Why the Lighthouse Family were good, actually"* would be time well spent!

*Ok maybe that one's a step too far

@jayforeman Of the 10 times it happens in the song, to my ears, 1-6 & 10 are glottal*, but 7 8 and 9 (the first three occurrances in the final chorus) are definitely woo-hoos.

*at a couple of moments 1 of the double tracks is a tad ambiguous, but overall I think it's closer to ooh than hoo

[Red Jam Spear (parody) @jamesdraper]

@jayforeman I was slightly taken aback by this, because as Blur are one of my favourite bands ever and that song is so short, I must've heard it hundreds of times, and I'd always heard it as "woo-hoo".
So I did some science on it.
Turns out it's actually...both?

@mangmangmang To be fair to them, if I were a journalist I'd have been desperately searching for any dirt on her, because the ensuing milkshake duck based headline I'd write would surely earn me a Pulitzer

@leedearman4 @iab Please stop tagging me in these posts, you definitely have the wrong account as I have no idea what any of this is (or even what industry you're talking about)

@leedearman4 @DGarvey_Lawyer @LisaHau Wait what? I think you may have tagged the wrong account here...

@birdbrainmd3 This reminds me in a roundabout kinda way: are you on Bluesky? It's pretty nice over there

[Red Jam Spear (parody) @jamesdraper]

@hankgreen That episode aired one week after my Dad's funeral. It was.....a lot 😢

@birdbrainmd3 The ridiculous thing is part of me still thinks that even when the pfp is of a well known fictional character?!?

London No Go Zones:

The kitchen cupboard underneath the worktop that faces the back door in my sister's flat. The door keeps falling off so it's probably best to leave it.
