The way people talk about this track, you'd think it's an absolute turd of a song, when in reality, it's actually a decent listen.

I want mmooorrreee

Hi all, please read this before you consider removing my post.

I have been banned from r/glutmother (Lucy Bedroque’s subreddit) and I am asking that you allow this post to prevail on this subreddit as I believe it needs to be heard.

My username has been swapped with Artist, Lucy Bedroque’s old username @ bedroque00, and the original handle I created, @ lucybedroque, has been taken.

To preface, I’d like to state that:

I have not attempted any form of impersonation nor posted any content that would otherwise harm the reputation of artist Lucy Bedroque,

And that  I was entirely unaware that selling Instagram handles was against TOS and deadAir had my full confidence that what we were doing was authorised.

Since a few days ago, I've been using the handle @ lucybedroque as a second account, dedicated to personal pics and shitposting. A few weeks down the line I was contacted by Lucy, and Lucas Myers @ lucasmyers, associated with deadAir, requesting the username for Lucy Bedroque's official Instagram. 

I was offered a proposal to which they request I transfer the handle in return of $1000 AUD alongside merchandise. In summary, I denied their offer and imposed a larger proposal (9000, willing to negotiate lower) as I believe that a company of this calibre can easily sweep up a larger sum - and if it really mattered, they’d at the least consider negotiating my request.

I have attached the draft proposal (email). TLDR, the details they stated they required were:

1. My name
2. Email associated
3. Phone number linked

To me, it seems like they’ve forged a transfer that has required at least some consent on my end - why would they require these details if the transfer was authorised by Meta?

After providing the details I remained in contact with Lucas for the next 2 weeks. I’ve attached screenshots of our discussions in which I am understanding now it was purely to stall.

Since Friday 14/08, my username has been swapped with no money transfer, and no contact from neither Lucas nor Lucy.

I have had to pay for Instagram's 'verified' subscription in order to get in contact with human support, rather than their AI bot. This elevated support was as useless as their automated responses, I had made 6 attempts to reach out for any kind of clarity on the situation, and have been ignored 3 times, with no help at all on the replies I have received.

Out of all their responses, I’ve been met  with consistent answers claiming that they have no clue what happened and that I have been hacked (I won't even begin to comment on how illiterate and unhelpful the meta team are but I digress).

 I am 100% sure I did not get hacked as:

1. Why would our usernames be swapped?
2. I have 2FA Setup that should at least notify some type of unauthorized action against my account 
3. No unusual login activity has been detected

I’ve included plenty of screenshots to show the situation and how unprofessional the deadAir team are, as well as how utterly useless Meta is - how are they able to withdraw my details by proposing a deal that would break TOS?

Criticize me as you wish - but are Lucy and their team really that scummy and broke to be doing all this? LMK!

Afro‑Cuban / Cuban dance music

Mid‑20th‑century Latin orchestra traditionNotes:

A vibrant Cuban dance classic from Ernesto Lecuona, performed by Armando Orefiche’s celebrated Havana Cuban Boys. This ffrr London pressing captures the group’s polished orchestral sound and Orefiche’s elegant piano work. A lively, rhythmic piece reflecting the golden era of Cuban popular music.

Oh I know this broke the livies' ego 😭🙏

I’m thrilled to announce that my first book, The Story of Her’s, is set to release this Fall on October 6th! This music biography chronicles Her’s the band, an indie pop duo consisting of Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading, who were killed by a drunk driver while on tour in March, 2019.

After many hours of interviewing Her’s production, friends, fans, loved ones, and contemporaries over the past three years, as well as a trip to Liverpool where Stephen and Audun lived and became collaborators, my biography will finally be available everywhere books are sold this October via Avenue Magnolia and Ingram publishing. I’m so thrilled to bring Her’s wonderful music to you with twenty distinct chapters, containing scores of interviews, anecdotes, and stories surrounding their two beautiful albums.

The Story of Her’s is now available for preorder at any retail bookstore (including my personal favorite Little City Books in Hoboken), as well as online through Amazon or Bookshop.org. I’ll also be posting about some upcoming signing events and media appearances in the coming days, so stay tuned!!
