People have spent over a decade building a following and engaging an audience on Twitter and I’m sure there is a collective and personal process of grief occurring for that disconnection.

For many, that audience was a part of our business. It was also our social circles and a hivemind connection to the world.

That illogical statement about continuing to monetise nazis is grim.

Really big week for me. My independent record label restarts on Tuesday. And I’ve just relaunched the Drowned in Sound podcast by interviewing the head of the trade union fighting to make streaming fairer. Amazing to see the pod already hit the Apple charts. Thanks for subscribing and spreading the word.

I've worked with a lot of musicians over the years, from Bat for Lashes to Max Richter. It's always such a huge honour and a thrill to help a new artist introduce themselves.
