Today’s Substack is about the last song on the first @thisistheloves.bsky.social album “Love” It features many middling reviews and a right stinker from a lowdown cunt. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...

Look at me looking so young and thin. I cycled 9.5 miles in under an hour this morning. I’ll be back to this weight (approx. 9 stone) in no time!! open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
Song for the day: @thisistheloves.bsky.social - Ode To Coca-Cola Hey fact fans! Me and @simonloverules.bsky.social weren't drinking cola when recording these beats! It was lager! Also, under Simon's strict guidance, I made this LP cover...

This morning I am up to the first song on the first @thisistheloves.bsky.social album, “The Sound We Make Is…” open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
Today's Substack is another unmemorable b-side that makes zero sense lyrics wise. Read me berating my past self and then look at some photos of @thisistheloves.bsky.social looking all moody. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
9 COOL
You always look so...

I can’t remember much about the song (again) in today’s Substack so I just wang on about my early Britpop life and the first gig I went to open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
Back to the hits today with @thisistheloves.bsky.social smash "Shake Yr Bones" with diversions to The Rapture and Michelle Thorne.
Suno has been trained to write songs using our great hit “WTF (Or How I Realised I’d Wasted My Life)” We have nothing to do with those other two “Loves” songs.
I’ve written about another cover @thisistheloves.bsky.social did. It’s back to the long rambling entries about a song I wrote on Monday me fans. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
I’m not only documenting all the great/golden hits that I’ve written, but I’m also shining a light on the people who’s songs I’ve covered over the years, starting with John Lennon’s first Christmas song, “Cold Turkey” open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
C1 COLD TURKEY by THE PLASTIC ONO BAND
Another diversion

I wrote about the four (4) John Peel sessions that @thisistheloves.bsky.social did in an 18 month period in the early 2000s for today's Substack. It also features mention of @robynhitchcock.bsky.social and the Soft Boys. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...
The Peel Sessions
A second diversion...

It's Thursday, which means it's time for my Substack thing again...this time, I am again diverting from the regularly scheduled program(me) to write about the John Peel sessions we did in 2001 and 2002. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...

My latest Substack is out now. I can't remember anything about writing or recording the song it should be about, so instead I talk about when @thisistheloves.bsky.social went to New York to play the CMJ Festival in 2002. open.substack.com/pub/simonlov...

Read this. Next Monday’s one was going to be short because I have no memory of writing or recording the song, but then I started writing about @thisistheloves.bsky.social going to New York and couldn’t stop.
