@iamcoxhead Yeahhh 🙌🙌🙌

Fuck it, I’m bringing my blog back. I just listened to ‘Heavy Heavy’ by Young Fathers for the first time (shocking I know) on my way home from work, and it made me realise how I hate what I’ve become. I used to do a Top 100 (!!!) list of my favourite albums of the year, and now I barely even listen to 10 in a year. I don’t dig for new music like I used to… I don’t go on Bandcamp, YouTube or Soundcloud, and fall in love with a random edit that has less than 200 plays. I, like many other people, draw for familiar playlists of older music. Or listen to the 2 minute streaming edit of a new song on Spotify and then don’t listen to it ever again, even if I like it. My whole reason for wanting to work in music, was because I loved new music. I loved looking for it, discovering it, writing about it, and sharing it with people. I loved supporting upcoming, or underground artists who didn’t have a voice like others do. And I was actually pretty good at it. I also read an amazing piece by Derrick Gee (see excerpt on slide 3) last week, where he really made me think about how important it is to still have curators in this world, where most things are played and supported because there’s an agenda with the label, the artist, or a certain platform. Music should be about sharing it because you love it. Anyway… I might do some stuff on TikTok eventually, and will most probably share some bits on here, but for now… I’m just going to write about new music on my blog as regularly as I can. Not many people may read it in 2023, but that’s okay, it feels really good for my soul Thanks to Young Fathers and Derrick for the inspiration. Support the good stuff & do what makes you happy x thehouseofcoxhead.com

@JacksonDucasse @MasterClass This happened to me as well - I emailed & they sorted it out

@meemocomma Great to finally get some closure on this

the only reason I have tits is to funnel every drop of water I spill trying to drink.

@cribble Nice meat cutlery

@JacksonDucasse The Petri dish. Good for business.

@_preston_ @90sfootball God I loved those boots

@90sfootball @KaikaiNoise

Who's the first player that comes to mind when you see these boots?

@cribble Ahhh Xylometazoline - my favourite Nu Metal band.

@ilovealcopop & that’s why we love you papa pop 💛

Seen a lot of tweets of late about how you must place value on your time and please the elite to get ahead. If that's you, fair fucks. But personally I'd pour all my time into working wonderful indie bands who steal my heart every single day of the week ♥️🍋🤷‍♂️

@krpgeg Great thanks! Hope you’re all good :)

@KaikaiNoise Hope you’re well🤞🏽

@KaikaiNoise here’s a lil throw back

@JacksonDucasse Wow

@cribble Retro you mean

@JacksonDucasse ‘Gourmet’

@rockstarbonstar Top 5 : 4 way plug adapter (w/ country adapter on plug), ear plugs/noise cancelling headphones, lavender sleep spray for the bunk, emergency meds/vits, rehydration sachets 🙏

I’ve been touring since I was 22 which means 13 years and I still have no fucking clue how to pack. How do people do this? It’s giving mad tour packing anxiety.

@BibiBourelly Keen! @BibiBourelly

@JacksonDucasse Friends?

@ilovealcopop Oh my 🥰🥺

All I want for Easter... Is you

@ilovealcopop 🥰🤌✨

If there's one tip I could give for running an indie business, it's to avoid FOFU. The Fear Of Fucking Up. The biggest killer of creativity on this planet. If you've got an idea, just go for it.... 🙌

@ilovealcopop Would defo grab the next round

One of my favourite albums of all time this. If I could, I would buy it a pint ♡
