Tap The Phone, the newest tune from Teon Gibbs automatically strikes me as an instruction rather than a song title, so I obey. I tap my phone. One notification: Shirley from a small family business has checked out your LinkedIn, but no message. Damn you! Now in a bad mood, I tap my phone again, […]

Podcast: A Good Talking To – Moses Rockwell
A lot of people associate the phrase “a good talking to” with scary thoughts. Ones that usually involve a manager scorning your poor performance or when your mom finds out you’ve eaten a full pack of biscuits. Thankfully, the new Independent Music News podcast A Good Talking To features neither. Instead, podcast hosts Adam Howes […]
