I’ve really not been well this week, so I’ve been feeling sorry for myself and been mostly in bed watching documentaries on BBC iPlayer and indulging myself with baking. I’ve also been cooking at strange times because I’ve been sleeping for most of the day and staying up very late at night.

Yesterday for instance, I decided to make a summer fruits genoise sponge and today I thought I would make a bit of a ‘posh’ meal for myself, which for me qualifies as making fondant potatoes and pea puree with roasted chicken. After said meal, I just sat down and poured myself a glass of sorry-for-myself white wine (which I, of course, used in the sauce for the accompanying roast chicken), then I thought, fuck, am I middle class?

So this is my first ever blog post, hurrah! I was going to start this in the New Year but there are things that I’ve read and things that are coming up that I wanted to blog about, so I thought I would start early. I’ll soon be posting more, so my blog seems a bit bare at the moment.

So I read this blog post from the band Pomplamoose. It’s really refreshing to read. I keep coming across more and more music artists releasing information about how they are managing to keep doing what they are doing in an increasingly difficult industry. A lot of artists I have noticed have started to become self-managed and self-funded, whether that be through crowd funding or through pure faith that their fans will buy tickets to their shows, like Pomplamoose. It’s a very complicated machine which is baffling as it is frustrating and ‘the industry’ appears in my eyes like that massive wall in Game of Thrones…large, impenetrable and the potential of a massive fall.
