For HeapsNormal, I spoke to @Ninajirachi about how she's built online worlds for her fans to enjoy, and how that's helped her find her audience. I'm a believer in the power of Discord, and Ninajirachi uses it to full effect. Had fun with this!

In the latest edition of my newsletter, Spin To Win, I spoke to @actualmontaigne about their new album 'it's hard to be a fish'. It's the first album they've released independently, after being signed to a major label, and we spoke about how they made it work.

So many special moments on this album, but think this track tops them all. This album takes me back to days when I really, truly, loved music like nothing else.
