In my university halls I thought the egg shaker that Edie had lent me, for a Christmas show with Molly Burman, had a good nice sound.

23/03/23 Egg shaker?

This was one of those occasions where I’d be playing in my room and Adam’s, the security guard of my halls would come and tell me off. He called me the Mayor of Rosebery Hall, we were quite close.

14/04/23 Cute three times riff

The sound of a Pepsi max and pineapple vodka

18/04/24 Wetherspoons

Recorded in the country, up at the highest point my small town can provide. Singing into broken headphones lying down, the clouds as witness, very nice time.

19/04/23 Singing on Whiteleaf Hill

Here lies my affinity with spinning. The frustration with many voice notes here is that I can’t remember any of the chords. Also for most of the time I’m not singing words, just sounds.

18/05/23 Song: A breasted christ could feed a whole ocean of fish

I was with Emily, in a tunnel?! All I can bring to mind.

15/06/23 Wyck Gardens

Remember that time when I worked 8 hour days unpaid in Chiswick every day all summer, for the indie overlords? Bitter are the memories which thin with regret but remain seated in the heart.

07/07/23 Gods trials are often obscure

26/07/23 Will and I jam?

Daisy is the 10 year old girl who I have often called my best friend. She was waiting at home whilst I sat on the cliff, she liked the song a lot. Though I can never be sure, she’s very allusive.

08/08/23 Sea song on South West Coast Path

11/08/23 I have no memory of this which makes it so much sweeter - New Recording 5

I think one of the lyrics I stole from Downton Abbey.

20/10/23 song: a song written whilst waiting for a call.

23/10/23 Radiohead at Super Unison

06/11/23 I often record myself talking for later day reflection - New Recording 6

08/11/23 song: Slick song

Most great albums and great years at that, end with screaming. Here it is.

17/12/23 Molly’s feet hurt

The most tentative share on this album is in this track.  I had finished Just Kids the winter before and was obsessed with improvised lyrics on the spot, so did it quite a bit. 

Allen Ginsberg said there was no bad song which was improvised, or it would be very convenient if he had done. 

this song is played on my blue acoustic which I named Shirley after my Grandmother.

I’ve hidden this at the end because it’s scary!

20/04/23 Random lyric riffing, that made me cry  copy

Everything I release was recorded on my phone, so I have freed myself from scrutiny, don’t question it. 

I expect two people to listen all the way through, even they I am unsure of.

There are descriptions under each track btw.
