I’m going to leave my account open for DM’s etc
And promote the odd thing

Be kind & look after yourselves.

As an angst-ridden teenaged girl in the 1990s Portishead & Massive Attack was the background music to my coming of age.
Never could I have imagined in 2022 the genius music producer
@jetfury
would report me for the hate women receive because we say biological sex exists.
I’d just like to say..
As a touring band.
Airports are Fucked
Carnet’s are Fucked
EU work visas Fucked
Streaming is Fucked
Borders are Fucked
Brexit is Fucked
Passports application Fucked
US visa application Fucked
How’s your job going ?
@deves_katherine
It’s quite obvious you never understood the message in our music
Or perhaps you did back then before became full of hate for trans people
Shame
Heartbroken by the
news of Mimi Parker's passing
Her Voice with Alan's often emotionally moved me unlike any other band
Their music together transcended all the
bullshit in the world and
I will treasure every time I saw them play live or said hello to her at a festival
Xx
Today
#billyNoMates
Got absolutely destroyed & personally insulted by a load of
#6music
Dads after her
#glastonbury2023
performance saying she
Should have a band?
What they don’t realise is that most of their fav bands
Play along to backing tracks
Least she isn’t pretending
Thanks to all the
@BBC6Music
people for coming out in support of

Big love to all the Brilliant women
On that radio station

I’ve been on Citalopram for nearly 15 years now up and down the dose.

If your struggling don’t feel embarrassed about asking your GP about getting help.

Thanks

#pulp
were absolutely
Brilliant and proved they are one of the UK’s best pop bands
To call them Brit pop is an insult
Blur & oasis never got close to Jarvis lyrics they are up there with the specials & squeeze who came before them
This is what some female artists
Have to put up with from
#6music
Dads online
Fuck’em
#billyNoMates
Is one of the most talented song writers and performers I’ve ever worked with and had the pleasure to know.
10 years ago Savages were the most powerful band I’ve ever seen
I’m gutted they broke up when the world really needed them the most.
Although They have all gone on to do amazing things separately
I really miss them.

Before anyone buys into his “4 lads squeezed into a VW polo” bullshit
Please remember that his father is worth £640 million pounds.
Music is a gap year for these people.
Happy Birthday to the inspirational

He did a Portishead remix once must of been about 1898
We didn’t release it not sure why?
But since then we’ve lost it
I have no recollection of what it sounded like
My wife and I have reached a decision that we do not want children. If anybody does please just send me your contact details and we can drop them off tomorrow.
I’ve always suffered from Depression Anxiety since I was a kid and I’ve been on happy pils for nearly 10 years now after many years of therapy that I’ve been lucky to afford
Not everyone is so lucky
It’s a tough time Please look after yourselves ❤️
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Incredibly sad to hear about the Passing of “The Godfather of Bristol” Mark Stewart x
Bristol would be a very different place artistically and politically if it not been for Marks influence on all of us
My deepest condolences go to his family and friends. X
We’ve never had a particularly good relationship with the UK
Music media
That’s why we always did more work & gigs abroad
They always wanted us to fit in their neat little box and couldn’t deal with that
So Its so Reading nice things from normal people about
#Dummy25
Thanks❤️
Boris Johnson has just uploaded more bull**** on Brexit to his twitter page, this time with his new zombie cabinet nodding in agreement. Let’s put the record straight
It’s time he was held accountable
Tonight I so want to send all the love a bloke on the other side of the world could send to
@lowtheband
Their music has helped me through some very rough mental times of my life and they are very special people who deserve every happiness
❤️❤️❤️
Why do people think good music for mental health is always calming whale noise chill out shit.. ?
Powerful loud music is just as important for different reasons
For mental heath
But nobody talks about it ?
It’s funny...
Whilst
@Bandcamp
are doing a brilliant thing to support musicians and artists today
@Spotify
the company worth over 20 billion Does absolutely nothing to help at this time other than make “stay inside playlists”
I’ve so had it with immensely over privileged artist and bands
Do labels not sign working class people anymore ?
Same as theatre and film It’s so fucked.
Their lack of awareness and Their assumption that we’ve all grown up the same way is astonishing
To create a vintage sound on Portishead's debut album Dummy, Geoff Barrow put the vinyl records they had recorded on the studio floor, walked across them, and used them like skateboards.
So
@UK_music
has blocked me for indicating to them that I didn’t think most people that actually work in “UK MUSic” would want to be represented by An Ex Tory advisor who worked with the Torys through Austerity.
If you like me you want that known please RT x
For the last 3 hours I’ve been sat in my inflatable hot tub drinking gin and tonics
I’d like to thank everyone who bought my records and employed me as film composer so far.
Cheers
