Budding - or not-so-budding - musicians are naturally drawn towards social networks...
The eagle-eyed social networkers amongst you will no doubt have noticed the launch of Facebook's vanity URLs on Saturday; individuals can now register a Facebook URL with their name plonked at the end of it - i.e., www.facebook.com/chrissingleton...

As the song goes, it was twenty years ago today, that Sgt Pepper taught the band - oh hang on, wrong album. Sorry. It was twenty years ago this month that The Stone Roses released their self-titled debut; and about thirteen years ago since I heard it for the first time...
As you may have noticed I've been experimenting a lot with how I get my music out to new audiences; in the past I've given away a lot of free music, and operated honesty box policies on downloads.I'm currently trialling a system where you can choose what to pay for my last record, 'Twisted City',...
At the end of my road there is a bus stop. For ages it had a poster slapped on the side of it which featured a rather rotund woman on it. Accompanying this image were the words 'We're closing in' and an encouragement for members of the public to dob in benefit cheats...
Traditionally, music charts have been all about music sales. You sell records, you get in the charts; you don't, and you spin yourself as an serious, tortured act with a cult following who wouldn't be seen dead on a hit parade...

There's been a lot of talk about Google Streetview of late (the UK version of which launched recently). Most of it has been about privacy issues...
Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer knows that the disease can be summarised in one word: horror. The horror of diagnosis. The horror of knowing that days are numbered. The horror of saying goodbye. The horror of the physical pain. The horror of losing hair during treatment...
A very quick one this to point you in the direction of a little microsite for my Betsey Trotwood gig.Go to http://www.singletonmusic.com/betsey/ where you can buy a ticket (recommended as the venue is small), download a free EP, look at press coverage and invite your friends to the...
Living in Britain as something of an outsider (sort of: I'm Irish but of a lot of English descent), I perhaps get more wound up than most by the anti-Johnny-Foreigner attitude that is expressed by the British media.Now don't get me wrong - there is plenty of antipathy towards foreigners in Ireland...
Just to let you know about another London show coming up - I'll be playing the Betsey Trotwood in Clerkenwell on 1 April. It'll be another full band show, so I'm quite excited about it. I love, er, playing with my band - such great musicians...
Being a simple Irish country boy*, I never fail to be amazed at how people overreact to things here in the UK.It snowed. And people didn't go to work...
Hmnn...interesting. Everybody is currently talking about Twitter the way that we all went on about Facebook a couple of years ago. Even though Twitter's been around for a while, I think it's only now that widespread take-up of it is starting to happen...
Live in London again

Time to revisit what stills seems to be the social network du jour, Facebook.Thanks to Facebook, I am now 'in touch' with a hell of a lot of people that I haven't seen in a very, very long time. Old school pals, former band mates, general weirdos I don't know particularly well - the list goes on...
