Big day for me Friday 13th. Album out. Single out now. Have a listen. I’d love that. Me and Kirsty Campbell vocals. Remi Harris and Chris Nesbitt on guitar. Tom Moore on bass. Me on uke and piano, keys and percussion. Xenia Porteous on violin. I did string arrangements.

A darkly amusing column from Hugo Rifkind today but a really important one. We are handing our futures to AI and it is the greatest people-pleasing bullshitter ever. thetimes.com/article/21014a…
