🏴 🇦🇺 🎸 🚴 Indie thing from Wales. Part cangarŵ. Siaradwr newydd. Possibly more engaged with cryptic crosswords than with rock’n’roll.

- My ‘thinking of social media like smoking’ didn’t work so well yesterday. I removed the most doom-scrolly feed from my Bluesky, but the Insta algo stepped up with a firehose of grim. I’ve just noticed that the chart looks like ciggies though, so come on let’s reinforce the association 🚬
- Gonna try thinking of my grim news feed in the same terms as tobacco companies… the reframing that helped me kick that sad habit years ago: “why would I squander my time / energy / money / wellbeing on these most awful of people?”
- 2026 update from Shag on a Rock Records (aka me!) New releases coming from: Lot.V, Bumtones, and Blino Band 😊
- Traditional solstice stroll up Fan Hill, near to home in Llanidloes. Nice to see this lovely lot again!
- I seem to post more on here about cryptic crosswords than about music. That’s alright. But in the interest of balance, here’s some music I dreamed up today with my two youthful, enthusiastic bandmates.
- It’s Bandcamp Friday! I offer cassettes! ffrediblino.bandcamp.com
