Interesting conversation last night with an artist. I’m helping a friend start his label, it’s very specifically rock and metal focused and he seems to attract some very large bands in their niche. The guy last night wanted a £10k-30k studio budget to record their next album…

Felt appropriate to post this on Labor Day. Here are the merch cuts being taken by the venues on this upcoming tour. This is going to cause us to sell our merch for higher prices than we'd like to at certain venues. We think that sucks. 1/

Had a great time at resident last night interviewing @loltolhurst to launch his book Goth: A History (@quercusbooks), with a cameo from Tim Pope! I'll be back at Resident on Thu 30 Nov to talk about my own book, #Curepedia (@whiterabbitbks).

This is going to be a dream come true. Gutted to be leaving Tokyo a week before they arrive , so this news today was the cherry on a long (bad) Friday!

The Prime Minister has still not replied. Why can't he tell us his definition of genocide?
