Hey, people, I'm going live in ONE MINUTE! Wherever in this world you may be, hit that link and get your dose of Wednesday catharsis. You know you need it.
I'm feeling good about this upcoming streaming show. It's a challenging set with lots of moving pieces, but it's coming together and feeling really fun to perform.
If you like electronic music, songwriting, and nice studios cranked up and sounding like a good band, turn me on at your desk or on your couch this Wednesday:
18 Feb (Wednesday)
20.00 UTC (UK Time) or 3pm EST (East Coast time)

Thanks to @thisoccasionalsociety and @meljoann for organizing!
1. release song.
2. get chest infection and sleep for a week.

Feeling quite chuffed upon reflection re #enshittification this evening.
Gave all things #meta and #google the boot a few years ago now. Then last year #amazon got the old size nine in the nuts.
I seem to have managed to reach this ripe old age without ever bothering myself with #x or #reddit or #discord
So, still ever watchful and never complacent, but feeling I'm on the good path 👍😁
Wendy only saw the Super Bowl half-time show on YouTube this morning.
She did Spanish briefly at school, so she understood a good third of it.
Even though it's not really her sort of thing, she thought it was great.

Albums to singles, ambient to metal and everything in between! Quit the streamers, Fedi music is where it’s at, both here in the RELEASES section or on NHAM Radio, or over on bonkwave.org, audiointerface.org or The Indie Beat Television, to name just a few.
And please take the time to support the artists you discover, with a compliment or more. Enrich indie artists, not billionaires!
Been playing around with the new nylon some more and revealing *horrible* technique.
Nonetheless, here's a new Wendy experiment for you. I *think* this link will play ok?

Earlier this year I picked up a nylon-stringed guitar.
They're ace, aren't they?
I'm not a very good player at the best of times, but have found myself falling into recording some songs with just that and vocal.
Belated thank you to anyone who listened / shared / bought indie music on Friday.
I can't speak for anyone else, but for us every small act of connection is weirdly enormous.
If you fancy a small, gentle, midlands-y tune: Wendy is here: https://hellomidlands.com/wendy-single-out-now/
