in my feelings

Badly Drawn Boy is my all-time favorite musical artist. I mean, The Hour of Bewilderbeast and Have You Fed the Fish? are sheer brilliance.

It's been about 8 years since he's released new music. I thought that might be it, that he was retired. And that's fine, you can't force creativity.

But he has a new song out and a new album coming out, which I have no doubt will be brilliant. Today, he went live on Instagram, just sitting in front of a piano, interacting with us and performing and I was just crying.

I mean, we take the internet for granted. I was just overwhelmed by watching my favorite artist who is in the UK, perform live for around 100 of his fans from around the world, and talk to us like were right there. Technology, it's crazy how far we have come. 

But if you aren't familiar with his work, go listen to him. He did the soundtrack to About a Boy too. The Shining is my personal favorite song of his.
