Heya! I'm Paul, sometimes known as Lost Scot. I've been writing songs for a while. I stopped for a bit. Now I'm back again. I also do freelance voice acting, I'm a gamer and a huge turbo nerd. Click the link to check out my new music, or my other links for everything else!

subvert.fmLost Scot - SubvertI’m Paul, an award-winning Scottish singer-songwriter living in Canada. I've been away for a while, but I'm finally making music again! I'm super excited to be working in a bunch of different genres,...

I started reading this, got to "secretly using the NYPD" and I was like uh oh". But then I read the rest and, other than him being a Knicks fan, he's still cool as hell.

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

I've found a handful of potential photoshoot locations, but still no responses to my request for a photographer. I'm assuming it's because my budget is around $0, so maybe I'll have to see if it's possible to DIY the whole thing. Because I needed more stuff on my list 😅

If you are in an indie game studio and you release a game that becomes a huge hit, I'm begging you - please don't sell anything to a giant publisher. I know the amount of money will make it hard to resist, but... <gestures wildly>

The exercise from my food bank volunteering this morning seems to have taken care of this. More annoying evidence that exercise is good for you, and I hate it.

We went for our annual vaccinations yesterday, and they've hit hard this morning 🤕

Well whaddaya know. I thought it was Alberta I needed to worry about voting like dumbasses this week, but here's BC coming in with the own goal at the buzzer.

I think it's going to have to be an Air this time. The jump to Pro seems like a way more significant price bump this time, and I don't even think my workload benefits from active cooling any more.

2026 is wild. Brand new M6 Mac Mini: $1250 2 year old refurbished M4 Mac Mini: $1550

Very short emotional rollercoaster. Looking at the Apple website, speccing up Macbook options, checking the prices, etc. Was surprised to see the 16" Pro looking way more affordable than I thought, especially after my trade in. Yay! Turns out I was looking at the US site.

I am getting unreasonably hyped for Dawn of War 4. The press previews are good, it looks amazing, and I loved the first 2 games. I really hope it's not a huge disappointment!

In the spirit of moving as little as possible, I reduced the cost of buying my songs on Subvert and made the instrumentals free. The weird or more experimental stuff won't be going up on streaming services any more, so maybe my listeners won't be quite so confused 😅

Okay, despite the nausea and the garbage trucks coming at the exact wrong moment, I think the first audition recording is done and just needs comped. I'll try to have some lunch and then record the next while I'm on a roll!

I've been fine since I puked my guts up on Saturday, but I woke up this morning ready to worship that porcelain throne any time. I wonder if I've developed an allergy to beer or something. That'd be weird.

FWIW I'm a Collin Murray-Boyles stan, and I don't know if it's because I like how he plays or if it's because he has the most Scottish name that a non-Scottish person could possibly have. Maybe it's both.

That was an absolute bloodbath. Holy crap! 😁

It's almost like we shouldn't let private companies control global communications platforms or something.

"You know how the oil industry is shrinking year on year and our economy is like 80% built around it? Can anyone help out?" "I think you called the wrong number"

Ugh, I really need to get some decent photos done to go with all of my new music. I don't have the patience for looking around and finding someone. It was so much better when someone else took care of the admin stuff 😬

Citizenship update: Application is ready, but when I try to pay it asks me to log into another part of the site. Despite being the same domain. Reset password? Email not found. New account? Email already in use. Kill me now.

Apparently the only solution is to CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT WITH ANOTHER EMAIL ADDRESS. It's no wonder they have so many recorded messages saying that they won't tolerate abuse.

Application paid for and submitted. I received an email confirming that I have submitted the application, but according to them is somehow not confirming that they've received it.

On the plus side, while I was on hold I installed Witcher 3 Remastered and sorted out the sound issue I was having on Linux. So that's nice. My only problem so far is the inability to move my desktop icons around. I know that power users don't typically use the "desktop" but still...

Raise a technical issue on website. Please enter application number (mandatory). I guess because I haven't paid yet I don't have an application number. Phone call it is.

I played pretty well in tonight's basketball game. A few rebounds, a couple of blocks, a couple of steals and 3 baskets. I also apparently ran 5km. It feels like maybe I'm getting back into it. It also explains why I hurt now. A lot.
