Songs of the year – 2019

A year in which I've sadly recorded no music so have to focus on other people's. I'm using URIs this year to take you to the tracks themselves within Spotify - copy and paste them into your browser's address bar or Spotify's search tool. Get me. Be Forest - Bengala I...

Short copy: Love is in the details

Short copy: Love is in the details

With diminishing attention spans, online irritability and seemingly less time than ever to GET SHIT DONE, it follows that there’s more of a focus than ever on getting shorter copy messages right. A bad instruction or confirmation message on a website can leave you...

What’s a songwriter? What’s a song?

What’s a songwriter? What’s a song?

I write and record music. I've been doing it - slowly and often torturously - for 15 years. Recent output has been almost prolific by my standards, and the process of writing and recording has accordingly taken over an unhealthy portion of my headspace. As Joe Pugg...

Songs of the year

Without ever considering formalising it, I’ve had a favourite song of the year pretty clearly marked since about 2009. So, as I’ve now been furnished for a full year with Spotify’s ‘Discover Weekly’ playlist (what I’ve always wanted, really), I thought I’d make a bit...

Burgers on board!

Burgers on board!

One for the Londoners. Something to redress the balance - why should pregnant women get to hog the cool-badge limelight? Perhaps you're an expectant father. Perhaps you've just completed an impressive eating challenge. Perhaps you're suffering in a carb-coma. Or...

Releasing and promoting music

Releasing and promoting music

I finished recording some music earlier this year, and self-released it as an EP. You've no doubt heard it, having seen the poster campaign, been flooded with emails and had your social media accounts wallpapered in adverts. No? Oh. Err... here it is anyway... Yeah......
