i’ve never met damon albarn and he’s never been to my studio but apparently he knows more than the rest of us about all those songs taylor writes and brings in. herb.
the takeaway of a 10 minute song hitting number 1 is to not accept the narrative that people have no attention spans. that idea is created by herbs who sell crap. long live the audience who wants it ALL i love you
i would like to tell you directly from me that i did in fact use earplugs the other night. they were blue ‘hearos’ brand and im mortified to admit that i’ve been using them for a long time as well as buying them in bulk. i would also like to be honest and get ahead of that fact-
literally at work and i can’t go back and forth with you right now about this i need my time to do what i do i’m trying so hard to protect my space i feel i have been clear
Midnights is a wild ride of an album and I couldn’t be happier that my co pilot on this adventure was

. He’s my friend for life (presumptuous I know but I stand by it) and we’ve been making music together for nearly a decade HOWEVER…
some things in life get old. making work with
@taylorswift13
never does. its a wild journey and i could not love her words, music and they way she delivers it all more.
congrats to taylor and annie im so damn honored to be with you on these albums... and ..... to taylor, annie, lana, bleachers, ella and clairo for collectively kicking my little ass into the producer category! wild~
simpel solutions, stop taxing merch, stop lying to artists about costs of putting on shows, include artists in more areas of revenue. the stories i could tell from my years touring are bananas. young artists on tour are the last to see any money.

the loss of sophie is huge. she’s been at the forefront for a long time and we see her influence in every corner of music. if you’re not aware of what she has done then today is the day to listen to all her brilliant work. you’ll hear an artist who arrived before everyone else.
i keep a little written list of songs i make when they get released. just sat down and added few more that are ones i believe in deeply. love you taylor
its not that deep: trump is a white supremecist and biden is a life raft. im not in the business of waiting on the perfect life raft. ill take it. vote against racism, anti semitism, LGBT attacks and vote FOR the environment and a future. once thats done we can build the ship.
work is intense right now and it’s a big priority for me to remain present and focused im not sure there is any way i can articulate myself more clearly please respect this limitation
family and i, i do believe that this was a very important and pressing issue that needed to be exposed. i’m sorry to those i let down and today i will not being going to work and instead thinking about my earplug use and everyone that has been affected by it.
while we are having the discussion can venues simply stop taxing merch of artists? this is literally the only way you make money when you start out touring
thank you for listening to everything that came out this week. how dare you want more, solar power and blouse all born. wild and overwhelming that they all lined up like that. just means so much that you all listen to these records that we work so hard on. sending love!
lover the song out today. did this one entirely at electric lady in NYC. only laura sisk and taylor in the room. taylor wrote every stitch of this song and came in and played it for me - just a perfect moment to hear what she had done alone the night before
the archer is out. one of my favorite things taylor and i have done together. very simple. juno 6, dx 7 and linn kick. the things she is saying needed to be just held by a big wall of low end and arp. we made this one in california and it all happened in about 2 hours.
matching donations to get food and medical aid to gaza !! mine are going doctors without borders and oxfam. do whatever you can and will match from my end. check out-

that i do not only use them when in 100 plus DB environments. it is humiliating to admit that i use them on planes and every night while sleep. there is nothing left to do but apologize and thank those who have covered this story because although it’s an embarrassment to my-
