See How They Run Like Pigs From A Gun

Today is Bandcamp Friday, which means that every purchase you make goes straight to me. You can grab my entire digital discography for just £8, the price of two coffees. That's a fantastic deal for a lot of music! Your support really helps a truly indie artist like me. I’ve also uploaded 2 new singles today and one is exclusive to Bandcamp and will not be on streaming.

Martin Sharp's Blowing in the Mind

Now the rainman gave me two cures

Then he said, "Jump right in"

The one was Texas medicine

The other was just railroad gin

And like a fool I mixed them

And it strangled up my mind

And now people just get uglier

And I have no sense of time

Today marks a significant day for my musical discography. It would have been my mother's 77th birthday, and today I release my new single, "Love...?" alongside my own remix celebrating the 10th anniversary and original vision of my debut solo album, "Psych Out the Silence," now available on all major streaming platforms.

I often ponder how my mother would perceive today's world. Having traveled extensively and embraced diverse cultures, she would likely feel a mix of confusion and anger at the current state of affairs. Through my music, which embodies themes of hope and resilience amidst challenging times, I aspire to create a small impact, even as an independent artist with limited resources.

Think! Think Love…

A Daniel Johnston tribute album I made with a friend at the tail end of last year. Read more below… :)

What started as a chance encounter in a Reddit fan group for the late, great Daniel Johnston has blossomed into a rich creative partnership between two talented multi-instrumentalists and home recordists - Joseph from England and James from the United States. When Joseph announced the upcoming release of his cover and arrangement of Johnston's epic medley "Kool-Aid," little did he know that this would be the spark that ignited a new friendship and musical collaboration.

After exchanging a flurry of emails, the two artists discovered a genuine meeting of minds and a shared reverence for the idiosyncratic genius of Daniel Johnston. Inspired by the serendipitous way their paths had crossed, Joseph suggested they try their hand at working on some music together. It was James who then proposed the idea of covering one of Johnston's songs, reasoning that since the beloved singer-songwriter had brought the two men together, why not pay tribute to his legacy through a collaborative cover version?

With Johnston's vast catalogue of wonderfully quirky and emotionally raw songs to choose from, Joseph had the clever idea of each artist selecting three tracks and then drawing the song titles randomly from a hat to ensure fairness. After mulling over their options, the two were delighted to discover that they had independently chosen "An Idiot's End" - one of Johnston's earlier and most poignant compositions. Seeing this as a clear sign from the universe, they eagerly began the creative process.

Joseph laid down a fragile, intimate rendition, accompanying himself on a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, with his soulful lead vocals remaining largely intact in the finished recording. James then added his own inspired touches, contributing drums and rich, low harmonies that beautifully complemented Joseph's fragile performance. The success of this initial collaboration only fueled their desire to continue exploring Johnston's catalogue together, resulting in the selection and recording of additional cover songs.

Through their chance meeting in an online fan community and the shared experience of paying homage to their musical hero, Joseph and James have forged a creative partnership that transcends geographic boundaries. Their mutual passion for Daniel Johnston's artistry has blossomed into a fruitful collaboration, with the two multi-talented musicians seamlessly blending their distinctive styles and sensibilities to breathe new life into the iconic songwriter's timeless compositions.
