Fell asleep early on Friday and didn't spend a fortune on bandcamp. I'm sad about it. My bank is happy about it.

What a mess of an album. "Stinkin' Thinkin'" is one hell of an opener and then its just absolute chaos. Fun though!

Bought the wife an expensive present yesterday(expensive for us) just because. Now im three beers in and eyeing up guitars. Could be dangerous. Mostly looking at resonator guitars. Maybe one of them Gretsch Jim dandys but with the pickup. Probably just buy another beer then have a takeaway.

Today will be my last day working a weekend and a late shift. Taking a year off my usual job to go and help my partners business. Hoping to get some life back into my elbows and fingers, maybe even play guitar and make some music again.

Just putting the feelers out there. How many Manchester based(or nearby) Musicians/bands do I know on here? Would anybody be willing to play an event in early January? This is a fundraiser so no payment but if I can get venue I hope it should be a great little day/night.

Went to see Weapons last night. Was left a little disappointed especially after the start seemed to be building the story so well, but it really fell flat in the middle and then just dragged on.

Intrigued to know about the sets or songs you’ve caught - by accident - where a band you’ve never heard of absolutely blows your mind. Your most memorable discoveries. It’s happened to me a few times.

Currently this one. I had an idea, I stuck to the idea and the idea worked. Vocals are actually semi decent, nice bit of guitar here and there. Sort of ambiguous lyrics, but mostly about trying to keep your light shining bright, and singing your song.

Why ditch Spotify and buy music on Bandcamp

Been playing the Tony Hawk remastered game, thought muscle memory would have kicked in but no. Need to get good at it before the wife gets involved and starts getting crazy high scores that I will never be able to beat. Manual between tricks I don't got that skill. Missing a few of original tunes😢

Consider my album whilst your sat in the sun, would go well with a nice cool beverage. That or throw some John Holt on. Probably best with John Holt.
