  • Works in Progress [BIG BOY IN PROGRESS - Episode 1]

    Welcome to something a little bit different on this here RSS feed, instead of your normal BIG BOYG BIGGER DREAM episode, we have here a new show format, where I talk specifically about my current projects and my works in progress.

    Come here about niche musical and creative workings as I hash out ideas, outline ideas and concepts, and muse generally about art and specifically my place within a creative space.

    Hope you enjoy it, don't say anything if you don't, I'll cry x

    Happy 50th episode to the PLOGcast, they said I couldn't do it, and they were mostly right. This week in the pod I dive into feeling jealousy as a musician, the wish to transfer anxiety into excitement, and my top four favourite prog albums.

  • Something's Due Any Day [49]

    take a spin on today's manic episode, feeling a lot of weird things so I thought I would jot them down on this open journal that I call a PLOGcast

    thank you for listening to this podcast/PLOGcast, please like and subscribe!!!

    There is something due any day 

    There is something, something

    any day, something

    //

    I’m not due

    I will know

    //

    Any day I’m not happy

    Any day there is something

    Any day I’m something

    Something

    //

    I’m not due away

    I’m due something

  • Spinning Cosmic Plates [48]

    missed 3 months (oops, lol) so here is the long awaited PLOG (trademark pending) update, i chat about my sister's wedding in italy, my recent panic attack, as well as the numerous amounts of recent theatre visits

    a lot of this PLOGcast centres around me as a musician, but also my mental health, which as a gigging musician in london is often tested, so please listen and if my ramblings can be any help, then ill be a happy (big) boy (with bigger dreams)


    todays poem // 'Easy Enough To Pocket'


    There’s a rock at the bottom of every garden

    Every walk through the country

    reveals another source of lingered sediment

    easy enough to pocket


    Some see a small and shiny pebble

    smooth to the touch

    or jagged and interesting that is

    easy enough to pocket


    The beach is covered in sand

    Aka tiny tiny rocks,

    plus shells, dolomite, and serpentine all

    easy enough to pocket


    For those brave enough

    for those with big bold eyes

    a pet rock or aquarium bolster is

    easy enough to pocket


    Next time I am walking through

    some various wood or alleyway

    If I should chance upon a rock that is

    easy enough to pocket.


    I shall.
