Did you get this month’s SonyMusic ThatWordleOffend? You should cos it was the same as last month’s!
Sony also offer their artists websites which don’t work and provide no contact to tell them! So why bother staying #SavvyIndie SIGN TODAY!

Buzzing for Rap Game UK S4 to start tomorrow! Might do some Beastly reactions! Graft & Saidu were such worthy winners but I hope we’ll hear more about this year’s (#SpitFireBars #arts)

🔏 Glad Ricky asked Sam Harris about Hypnosis. I wanna try that Stanford scale test 🎙

so good to see a fellow cross-genre artist Heath McNease topping the Bandcamp charts in one of his genres when he hones on it! Review in FirstWeek vlog
(🎵 #arts)

He’s been giving me some helpful advice about getting started distributing my own podcast.xml file. Would welcome anyone else’s

Impressed at what he’s got out of his own Microcast: as well as a series interviewing his Mum about moving from Eastern Europe, the audio version of his brilliant Micro Camp talk is cool cos on Apple Podcasts the thumbnail image changes as it goes through the sections (honestly not sure what black magic this is: whether due to exporting from Final Cut or to do with timestamped comments)

I honestly love that he’s doing his research on such a practical creative topic he lives and breathes.
I wouldn’t wish a PhD on anyone, but if you’re gonna, do something like this

YouTube scared of TikTok, partners with music-industry to license music. But this begs the question of why TikTok is able to use so cheap currently. As Damon Krukowski pointed out about short-form sync “we need a new streaming royalty” (#SavvyIndie #arts)

ooffftt @Vimeo upcoming Enterprise pivot is already manifesting by blanking Pro individuals emailing Support! This from a service which earlier this year was marketed as 2h email-reply (#video #tech)

Twitter’s stock obsession runs deep. It still has a legacy #tech feature called ‘cashtag’ for tracking stocks. Let’s find out if it searches any phrase followed by a $dollarsign

🗳But if @UKParliament so keen to promote #tech skills.. start with your Parliament.UK #website
Botched “committees.” subdomain redirect and now all subfolder links in nav bar like this are 403 broken. #LetThePalaceSlipUnder #RefreshDemocracy

🗳 Fam asked me yesterday why errbody inflation, but UK stagflation
Low #tech R&D since the 90s (graph by @LordsSTCom) -> sluggish growth today
Short-termist Truss as PM will likely miss even Tories own modest target of 2.4% by 2027 -> sluggish growth in 2030s

They say don’t talk politics in the UK 🇬🇧
But Imma start posting with 🗳 tag anyway.

Dw I’ll mainly limit myself to:
1) electoral-reform (cos Tories Lording)
2) invest in tech & creative industries (cos stagflation)
3) young centrist MPs (cos make ^ happen)

Beware Vimeo customers. They’re trialling stingy new plans for new UK customers.

🔏 Gotta rate commitment: he’s registered with 18 link in bio services just to list a single link to his marc.beninca.link
Not sure if just a parody of the non-innovation that is Link in Bio services, or an actual SEO play but either way fair play

New game from Sony Music Entertainment called ThatWordleOffend:
Each month they OK 6 Explicit lyrics in an R&B release, where 1 warrants a re-record. Guess & Tweet them til they do it!
Here’s this month’s! Hard one to hear, so here’s lyrics!

Was recommending Atom as text-editor to my students only to discover it’s sunsetting in Dec to (surprise!) Microsoft VSCode for Cloud.
I’m reverting to Sublime Text (4).
Looking for equivalent to my fave packages:
File Header, and Markdown to PDF ?!

🔏 Anyone here have best practises for distributing podcast.xml file from M.b premium?
Either up-to-date most-listened destination list, or a product which automatically adds it as new stores get popular would be superb!!

As selected by my 16/17 y/o students this week.
Was fun to see a few of them send for Esteemed Institutions given we’re at Oxford, though one did pick on her 2ndry school’s poor IT dept!

Do you agree with their categorisations? Is Craigslist actually beautiful with its blue simplicity?!
Let me know, and I’ll feed it back to my class.

  Glad Beastly more serious #SpitFireBars, cos UK rappers parodying themselves now

Bo’s Outtakes are better than most people’s films 🍿.
Fittingly my #DividedSelfie album artwork which #Inside inspired was the prev pic to my watch-notes.

🔏 hey M.b Microcasters: Based on @jean not syncing micro monday to Spotify, I surmise it’s entirely in our control where we send our podcast.xml feed. Does anyone have a recommend list / syncing service? And is it all audio file uploads (past & present) or nothing?

Wow a song with tempo change(s) might make 5 weeks at #Number1 @OfficialCharts.
“Sunglasses sunglasses sunglasses” also starts at exactly 85bpm and ramps up all the way to 170! Killer to rap it live!!
#BPM is a big part of the #DividedSelfie.. (🎵 #arts)
